Is there a deep connection between human history and Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky? Long ago in ancient times, Sirius was given a prominent placement in the astronomical records of the Romans, Egyptians, Greeks, Polynesians, Hawaiians, indigenous tribes of North America and Australia, and it played a very important role in their lives.

What really captures the imagination, however, is the intriguing connection between the Dogon tribe of Mali, West Africa and Sirius. It is believed that the Dogon descended from the ancient Egyptians and they have a fascinating knowledge of the cosmos. Importantly, their astronomical lore reaches back more than 5000 years, and what they have to say about their history and the star, Sirius, is "out of this world."
 

Arthur David Horn received his Ph.D. degree from Yale University in 1976, majoring in biological anthropology. After a great deal of research and reflection Dr. Horn realized that the belief systems we have been taught regarding our history and origins are not true.

It doesn't end there. In his book, Humanity's Extraterrestrial Origins, Dr. Horn tells us that "one of the strongest exoteric pieces of evidence indicating ET visitation and interaction with human affairs comes from the Dogon tribe of West Africa...The credibility of the Dogon oral history is greatly enhanced by the fact that they have knowledge of the heavens that our scientists have only recently acquired..." 

In his groundbreaking book, The Sirius Mystery, Robert Temple, tells us that the Dogon have known for thousands of years that Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, is a double star system. That is, Sirius A, the main star, is visible to the naked eye. However, it has a companion known as Sirius B, which orbits Sirius A. Sirius B is a white dwarf and can only be seen with modern-day telescopes. How did the Dogon know that Sirius B exists? 

According to anthropologists who visited with the Dogon in the 1930s, they also knew that the orbit that Sirius B takes around Sirius A is elliptical, or egg-shaped, rather than circular. We only discovered this within recent times! And they knew how many days it took for Sirius B to orbit Sirius A!

The oral history of the Dogon has been faithfully passed down to each succeeding generation for thousands of years. It refers to entities from the vicinity of Sirius, who visited their ancient ancestors in an airship that made a spinning descent and was accompanied by thunder and fire.

The extraterrestrials taught them many things including how to live in harmony with their own divine nature. The Dogon refer to them as the Nommos, who were primarily aquatic beings and were male and female within the same body (hermaphrodites).
 

The Dogon are not the only people that have described extraterrestrial  visitation and influence in their history.

The folklore of various Native American tribes refers to the "Star People."
 

Australian aborigine rock art describes Wandjinas or "spirits from the clouds."

The mysterious Olmec civilization (Mesoamericans) had a great belief in "sky people."

The Maya claim they were visited by a robed Caucasian man with blond hair, blue eyes and a beard by the name of Kukulkan who taught the Maya about agriculture, medicine, mathematics and astronomy. 

And there are many other examples of extraterrestrial visitations in the folklore of indigenous people.

Given the history of ET visitation described in indigenous legends, one cannot ignore what the Dogon and other tribal people have to say. Centuries ago, they were physically separated by long distances and were unable to exchange their ET stories with one another. And yet there is a common thread that runs between them. As such, their mythological descriptions of visitors from the stars have to be given serious consideration.
