When I was in my early 20s, I was reading an article in one of my favourite magazines called Simply Living. It had a feature on the Dogon People of Mali, central Africa, near Timbuktu, a tribe living in a jungle, who worshipped an Aquatic Deity or Fish God or Dolphin-like Being by the name of Nommo. Their main ceremony was every 50 years and it was in resonance with their knowledge of Sirius, a binary star system: they knew that Sirius B, one of the smaller stars circled the larger or main star, Sirius A, every 50 years!
This fact, according to Robert Temple, author of the classic Sirius Mystery, suggests that the Dogon Tribe had an apparent ancestral connection to advanced extra-terrestrial beings. Their ancient wisdom reveals a deep understanding of advanced astronomy, mathematics and anatomy prior to the existence of modern science and prior to the invention of the modern telescope.
The origin of this knowledge is claimed to hail from the elusive Nommo beings, spiritual figures highly revered by the Dogon as Water Spirits or Aquatic Deities. They are described as non-material, amphibious and serpentine, with green skin and long tails used to prop themselves upright while on land. Additionally, the Nommo were hermaphrodites, considered to have twin souls by the Dogon.
Temple proposed that the Nommo deities were the true identity of these extra-terrestrial beings, suggesting that they may have come from Sirius to Earth, bestowing the Dogon tribe with some of their advanced insight.
Robert Temple’s work is influenced by the research conducted by the French Anthropologists Marcel Griaule and Germaine Dieterlen, who first discovered the Dogon’s astronomical secrets after spending years gaining the trust of the Dogon priests in the 1930s to 1971.
