The Dogon Tribe Knowledge
-
In the question of how the Dogon People came to knowledge of Sirius and its
lost companion stars, there are just 3 possibilities in my mind: Either they
were physically or spiritually visited by extraterrestrials who told them a
lot of things, or some Dogon Tribe individuals got this knowledge by the
ancient traditional spiritual ways by out-of-body-travellings.
Quote:
"Accordingly to Berossus, a Babylonian priest of the 13th century B.C.:
"At first they led a somewhat
wretched existence and lived without rule after the manner of beasts. But,
in the first year after the flood appeared an animal endowed with human
reason, named Oannes, who rose from out of the Erythian Sea, at the point
where it borders Babylonia. He had the whole body of a fish, but above his
fish's head he had another head which was that of a man, and human feet
emerged from beneath his fish's tail. He had a human voice, and an image of
him is preserved unto this day. He passed the day in the midst of men
without taking food; he taught them the use of letters, sciences and arts of
all kinds. He taught them to construct cities, to found temples, to compile
laws, and explained to them the principles of geometrical knowledge. He made
them distinguish the seeds of the earth, and showed them how to collect the
fruits; in short he instructed them in everything which could tend to soften
human manners and humanize their laws. From that time nothing material has
been added by way of improvement to his instructions. And when the sun set,
this being Oannes, retired again into the sea, for he was amphibious. After
this there appeared other animals like Oannes", end of quote.
Oannes, the Sea
God. possibly the Star Constellation of Cetus, the Whale in the rough
direction of Sirius Star System?

When
the sun set, this being Oannes, retired again into the sea, for he was
amphibious. (Check out which symbol and telling gives origin for “sun” –
maybe a confused sign for “celestial Wheel/Pole point?) i.e. “Oannes
sets and rises in/from the Heavenly Sea” as a daily rhythm”?
Dogon believe that the brightest star in the sky, Sirius (sigi tolo
or 'star of the Sigui), has two companion stars, pō tolo (the
Digitaria star), and ęmmę ya tolo, (the female Sorghum star)
(Flower, Seed?) respectively the first and second companions of Sirius.
Sirius, in the Dogon system, formed one of the foci for the orbit of a tiny
star, the companionate Digitaria star. When Digitaria is closest to Sirius,
that star brightens: when it is farthest from Sirius, it gives off a
twinkling effect that suggests to the observer several stars. The orbit
cycle takes 50 years.
But why would Sirius be such an important guiding star of Wisdom and “origin
of Life”? Why is it that Sirius apparently shows up in many mythological
telling and myths?
-
Can one use a modern Star Atlas map in order to solve the meaning of myths?
I think so. But of course, you have to have an idea or a hypothesis in order
to do so. My idea here is to locate the Sirius Star, and se where it is
located accordingly to the Pole Star that that we all use in order to
navigate on the celestial Heaven.
Star Navigation.
The actual North Pole Star hasn’t always been the guiding star. Because of
the processional movement the processional Earth Axle point moves 1 degree
every 71.6 year in the circumpolar circle. So, in order to locate and
orientate the Sirius star accordingly to the center in the circumpolar
circle and thereby get a positional line which takes the circumpolar
movement out of equation, we thereby gets a star guiding line which
directionally relates the Sirius star to all other stars in our Galaxy.
The Galactic Ruler Line.
When drawing a line from Sirius in the constellation of Canis Major, through
the circumpolar center and further on to the Vega star in Lyra, and further
on to the constellation of Sagittarius, one gets a general guiding line to
the center of our Galaxy and by making a 90 degree angle on the line in the
circumpolar center and prolonging this line, we get the 4 cardinal
directions in our galaxy, Sagittarius (Galaxy Center), Gemini
(Gemini/Sirius) Pisces and Virgo. Thereby we have the 4 spoke Galactic
Wheel, which in ancient times very often was divided into 4 more directions
of the 4 Animals, Eagle, Bull, Lion and Horse (Or other local animals).
The Sirius-Vega Ruler-Line: On midnight Jan. 3 and July 3 the Ruler Line
roughly marks the Earth orbital position comparing to the center of our
Milky Way Galaxy and away from our Milky Way galaxy center. The 90 degree
angle in from the celestial Pole marks increasing galactic power and
decreasing galactic power periods.
That is: By positioning the Sirius star in our Galaxy, we have got the
knowledge of the generally cardinal directions in our Milky Way Galaxy and
maybe thereby confirmed that the Dogon People really learned a lot from the
Oannes/Sirius source. When knowing these information’s of the 4 galactic
directions, the basics for building their villages and temples was stated
and by building accordingly to these information’s, the Dogon People – and
all other cultures in the World – could follow the rules below on Earth of
Heavenly above.
Thereby “He taught them to
construct cities, to found temples, to compile laws, and explained to them
the principles of geometrical knowledge. He made them distinguish the seeds
of the earth, and showed them how to collect the fruits; in short he
instructed them in everything which could tend to soften human manners and
humanize their laws”.
That is: By following the heavenly
rhythms, the people would learn everything about their individual and
cultural connection to the Heavenly Creation Powers and also get the
knowledge of the seasonal changes and of the vegetable and animal rhythms as
well.
But coming that far, we still have
the question of HOW the Dogon People got the knowledge of the Sirius Star
System, and my suggestion is this: Individuals in the Dogon Tribe – and
individuals from all other cultures – visited the Sirius System by Spiritual
Travelling out-of body journeys, AND, if there were/are beings living on
this system, they maybe also have visited Earth by the same way and means
many times in the past. And maybe they still are?
The more
Speculative Part.
Oannes.
Oannes appeared in the first
year after the flood. He had a human voice, but the whole body of a fish,
and above his fish's head he had another head which was that of a man, and
human feet emerged from beneath his fish's tail.
“He”, a supposedly anthropomorphic
being told them this? Or was this being really 2 beings? A male voice coming
from the Heavenly waters in the direction of certain Star Constellation?
From, after which Flood did “he/this voice of a man”, first appear?
Mythologically, “Flood” mostly means
“heavenly rivers or streams” And the biggest heavenly flood/river/stream is
of course the Milky Way River encircling the Earth hemispheres, which again
connects us to the Sirius Star and the direction in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Can it possibly be that there is a deeper connection to the Sirius Star
System – or maybe even to its lost companions?
What happen when a star explodes?
That, of course, depends of what kind of a star it is.
With a mass nearly equal to the Sun's, Sirius B is one of
the more massive white dwarfs known and Sirius B will steadily cool as the
remaining heat is radiated into space over a period of more than two billion
years. A white dwarf forms only after the star has evolved from the main
sequence and then passed through a red giant stage.
This
occurred when Sirius B was less than half its current age, approximately 120
million years ago. The original star had an estimated 5 solar masses and was
a B-type star (roughly B4-5) when it still was on the main sequence. While
it passed through the red giant stage, Sirius B may have enriched the
metallicity of its companion.
Image of
Sirius A and Sirius B taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Sirius B,
which is a white dwarf, can be seen as a faint dot to the lower left of the
much brighter Sirius A.
Sirius B Digitaria quotes and remarks:
“Then
we are introduced to the enigmatic Po Tolo, "Star of Fonio" and known here
as "Digitaria." This is stated to be the
"origin of all things."
When
a massive star explodes, it radiates out a lot of energy that influences its
surroundings. This kind of cosmic energies comes in 2 forms: Either radial
out in all directions from the center or in a more directed form as in
“cosmic lighthouses”.
Quote: “Some odd facts, such as the knowledge that
Sirius B is spinning and discarding matter, for instance, data established
long after 1950, are hard to explain”.
-
Could it somehow be the case, that the explosion of Sirius B “once upon a
time” did influence a pre-Milky Way galactic molecular cloud of gas and
dust and caused this to swirl, concentrate and heat up the swirl(s?) until
the compressed swirl(s) exploded and thereby formed our Milky Way galaxy -
and possible neighboring galaxies? If so, the term of “origin of all things”
could be very likely. (But very often, the same term is mythologically
stated for both the Earth, as Mother Earth, and for Milky Way, as the Great
Mother Goddess, as illustrated below here)
Milky Way contours with the “male” human or animal “deity” to the left and
the “female” to the right.
Of
course, if suggesting such a possibly ancient Sirius B influence, we have to
consider the time scale of the Sirius B explosion and compare this timescale
to the Milky Way Creation – and even have to reconsider how accurate the
actual time and distance measuring are before accepting the possibility. (Redshift
method; Standard Candle method etc .etc.) But since I'm not a mathematician
, I'll just leave this to other
It
is said above: “Sirius B may have enriched the
metallicity of its companion” when it collapsed/exploded.
Quote: “Much more interesting is the Dogon concept of "Sagala," supposed to
be shiny and metallic. It is a feat of tremendous imagination to name and
give physical properties to white-dwarf material”, answers the modern
astrophysicists and cosmologists.
And what does “the
female Sorghum star” means”? I've just image-googled “sorghum” and get a
special flower native for Africa and very rich on seeds. If specifically
concentrating on the “female” aspect this once again also can point to the
Earth and Galactic Mother deities, but I'm not sure where to place this
“sorghum”.

Quote: “It shows at the very least that to verify
this innocent and (native mythology, my remark) folk data, Western Man has
to put some massively sophisticated instrumentation on a rocket and blast it
into earth orbit”.
-
And, at the most, it shows that it is not necessary to “go out there” in
tin-cans and spend a lots of money which could come to better use, when you
just can do the very same as the Dogon Tribe and all other Native People
have practiced over many thousands of years in order to gain Cosmic and
Universal knowledge via the Ancestral Spiritual Way.
