Good post Yarnivicious. Also try Von Daniken and Duncan Lunans writings. I'm keeping an open mind. |

i'm not going to argue the specifics of whether every fact about the many ancient cultures with visitation myths were accurate or not (i definitely want to believe there is truth in it and what i do know for sure is that we are missing a large part of the picture in relation to ancient super cultures), but regardless, we should be analyzing any and every one of those mentioned star systems through SETI or SETI@home. If it were up to me, i'd prefer that my computers were analyzing the star systems that ancient humans seemed particularly interested in- i mean what's the harm in that? I can't ignore the fact that the Egyptians, Mayans, etc.. knew "more than they were supposed to" about the stars and the physical properties of earth. For people who are interested in that sort of thing (i know i love it), i recommend reading Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock, and a few of Robert Bauval's books as well, including The Orion Mystery and Black Genesis. My lady and I happened to spend our whole morning on Memorial Day (yesterday) watching all 5 episodes of a miniseries called "The Pyramid Code", and we both loved it. It is available on Netflix streaming, and also on Youtube.com. Definitely recommend it. |

The Dogone people of east africa wearnt found till 1928. Their folklore said we originated from a dim red star orbiting Sirius. This star was indeed there with a elipitical orbit that showed in their folklore around sirius. Mind you this star can only be seen by a large telescope. How,d they know it was there thus indeed Sirius B is there. I already refuted this the last time you asserted it. It has been proven that the Dogone people had no prior knowledge to Sirius B. They simply had a belief in being visited from Extraterrestrials from another planet, and they were guided by Griaule's own interests into answering the location of Sirius B as the home planet of the visitors. In fact, many "advanced" civilizations have visited Africa throughout history, and any of them could seem "extraterrestrial" to the Dogone people, who would think their technology was indistinguishable from magic. Also in case of fact, when Walter van Beek studied the Dogon, he found no evidence they knew Sirius was a double star or that Sirius B is extremely dense and has a fifty-year orbit. Quote from Walter Van Beek: Knowledge of the stars is not important either in daily life or in ritual [to the Dogon]. The position of the sun and the phases of the moon are more pertinent for Dogon reckoning. No Dogon outside of the circle of Griaule's informants had ever heard of sigu tolo or po tolo... Most important, no one, even within the circle of Griaule informants, had ever heard or understood that Sirius was a double star (Ortiz de Montellano). And according to Thomas Bullard: [Griaule] wished to affirm the complexity of African religions and questioned his informants in such a forceful leading manner that they created new myths by confabulation. ... he misinterpreted their references to other visible stars near Sirius as recognition of the invisible companion. The Dogone people had no prior knowledge of the stars, despite the lies you've been told. |
