Hi,
I've created another entry on the Tinwiki.
This one relates to the so-called "Sirius Mystery".
I think this is my longest Tinwiki entry so far.
The entry borrows extensively from an article I've previously published on the ATS
discussion forums. I hope that I've managed to successfully eliminate enough of the statements of opinion from my original article to limit
this entry to suitable material for the Tinwiki.
For anyone not familiar with the "Sirius Mystery", I'll quote the introductory part of the article below:
The Dogon people live West Africa, in the general vicinity of Timbuctu. By the time they were questioned by two French anthropologists Marcel Griaule
and Germaine Dieterlen, between 1931 and 1950, the Dogon supposedly had knowledge of various astronomical matters (particularly relating to the Sirius
solar system) that could not have been discovered using the technology available to them.
Various UFO researchers have stated, or implied, that the relative knowledge derived from alien visitors to the Earth.
This is often referred to as “the Sirius Mystery”.
Numerous sceptics, notably popular astronomer Carl Sagan, have suggested that the knowledge attributed to the Dogon may have been obtained from
Europeans prior to questioning by Griaule and Dieterlen.
All the best,
Isaac
