  • The Dogon are an ethnic group living in the central plateau region of Mali, in West Africa.
  • They have their own systems of astronomy and calendrical measurements that have been passed down through oral history.
  • The Dogon’s rituals show a strong sense of harmony, One important ritual involves women praising men, men thanking women, and the young expressing appreciation for the old, and in return, the old recognizing the contributions of the young.
  • The 1976, Robert K. G. Temple book, The Sirius Mystery, claims that the Dogon knew that Sirius is part of a binary star system, and had knowledge of its second star, Sirius B, a white dwarf completely invisible to the human eye. The West only made this discovery centuries later with telescopes and modern equipment.
