Introducing My Topic

Millions of people believe we owe our existence to aliens. Once of the most popular theories is The Dogon and The Sirius Mystery. The Dogon are a tribe in West Africa who are believed to have been of Egyptian descent. The tribe have astronomy legends that date before 3200BC. In the late 1940's four priests from the tribe told two French anthropologists the Dogon myths of the Sirius star which is 8.6 light years from Earth. They said that the Sirius star was visible to the naked eye and that it had a companion star called Sirius B, that moved in a 50-year orbit around Sirius and was very small and incredibly heavy. Nothing in the universe was heavier than this star. This was all found to be true. It was first seen through a telescope in 1862, but the Dogon beliefs are said to be thousands of years old. The density of Sirius B was not known until the Twentieth Century.

The Dogons also knew a lot more about astronomy and said that their knowledge came from unearthly sources. The Dogon folklore tells they story of Nommos. Ugly alien beings that arrived on a vessel with thunder and fire. These creatures were amphibious and were like merfolk. They could live on the land but dwelled mostly in the water.

The Dogon claimed that the Nommos came from a planet that orbited around a third star that circled Sirius. This star has not yet been found in the solar system.

Many artifacts that point to early alien visitation have been found. Scientists found fossilized animals in Odessa tombs that were processed with metal objects more than one million years ago. The Stone Age had not yet started, so there were no humans on the planet at this time.

Many paintings from early times show the use of modern technology and markings on fields point to the use of very early air travel. There are also paintings from ancient civilizations that show strange looking creatures similar to reports of alien visitation in our time; small and grey with large black eyes on a bulbous head and android-like.
