This is Sirius!

Dogon Tribe of Africa
As promised, I decided to build upon my last post, and go over some of the tribes and such that believe they, or rather their ancestors originate from other planets and star systems.

The Dogon of West Africa:

The Dogon tribe, which has ties to ancient egypt, seem to have advanced knowledge of astronomy, most importantly of stars near Sirius that can't be seen with the naked eye. They believe that their existence originates from Sirius B, and have knowledge of orbit patterns that it took scientists years to chart out using infrared imaging.

The Anunnaki:

Ancient Sumerian tablets found seem to reveal a legend about a race of beings coming from the stars, and engineering humans for slave labor, mostly for mining things such as gold, which also has a proven use in our own space fairing technology. From this some people believe that humans are a hybrid of what they were, and something that was naturally on earth.

An Earth like Planet Found:

Recently, an earth like planet was discovered within the Goldilocks zone (Just right for life) of a star much like our own Sol. It possibly has water, and it is shown to have a rocky surface, a gravitational pull strong enough to hold on to an atmosphere, and temperatures that make liquid water pooling on the surface possible. This planet is relatively close, 20 light years, but not any distance we can travel ourselves today, and unfortunately, our current technology will not allow us to test for chemical signs of life in the atmosphere yet either. Still, this shows promise that other planets can sustain life as we know it.

Anyway, that's what I currently have to say on the subject, Ancient Aliens Season 2 starts tonight on History, so if you're interested check it out.

  1. I'm not entirely convinced that we came from Aliens (I've given this much thought after watching Mission To Mars when I was eight), but I'm pretty sure we may have had contact with them before.

    But according to Stephen Hawkings, if that were the case we would probably have been wiped out (being the lesser civilisation)... unless they assumed we wouldn't be a threat. Lets hope they still believe this next time contact is made.

  2. Yeah, I personally don't think they made us, but they probably did influence culture and technology to some degree. And yes, hopefully they are peaceful, or not wanting to wipe us out, lol

  3. Don't forget that the Nazca people had hot air balloons, long before people even dreamed of such a thing.

  4. Yeah, as I've said, tech might have been alot better than we realize it once was, they found this ancient compupter that worked with charting the stars at one point.
