Dogon mythology about Nommos aliens from Sirius B
An online article called The Dogon, the Nommos and Sirius B, describe the aspects of the dogon mythology on the extraterrestrials from Sirius:
- According to their oral traditions, a race people from the Sirius system called the Nommos visited Earth thousands of years ago. The Nommos were ugly, amphibious beings that resembled mermen and mermaids. They also appear in Babylonian, Accadian, and Sumerian myths. The Egyptian Goddess Isis, who is sometimes depicted as a mermaid, is also linked with the star Sirius.
This article also brings up the possibility that these myths are not accurate, for example, that Sirius B, one of the stars in the Sirius system, once occupied the location our sun occupies now. According to science, this is impossible. Furthermore, the dogon believe that it takes Sirius B 60 years to orbit Sirius. However, they celebrate the Sirius B orbit every 50 years. It doesn’t make sense.
