Dogon, an African tribe living in the Mali republic in the sub-Sahara, know that Sirius is a binary star system. This information is impossible to obtain without using modern telescopes. Not only that, but the figure of 50 years that they allegedly claim for the orbit of Sirius B around Sirius A is absolutely accurate......· Amma is the Dogon name for Amen. Amma is described as the intelligent consciousness behind all of creation and the awareness within all beings. Amma is He Who Rests Upon Nothing.....As stated, the debate among the Western-minded concerning the Dogon has centered on the fact that the Dogon know details about the Sirius A,B, and C star systems......Men such as Robert Temple and his book The Sirius Mystery pose all sorts of bizarre and overtly racist notions as to how a primitive African nation could possibly have detailed astronomical knowledge of neighboring star systems. However, in this brief survey of Dogon descriptions of celestial objects, it can be seen that they have knowledge as to how the entire galaxy is structured, not just the closest star system
