But it was not until 1862 that astronomers discovered a second sirius star, a dwarf sun, and named it Sirius B. The original larger star was renamed Sirius A!

Now for the first time in astronomical history, scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope isolated light from the white solar dwarf known as Sirius B orbiting its huge and bright companion, Sirius A, in the constellation Canis Major. Since the Sirius B discovery in 1862, astronomers have been frustrated by the intense glow of Sirius A overwhelming their ability to observe and weigh the small and dense, Sirius B.

This breakthrough was recently published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

The Mythology

The Dogon tribe of West Africa believes that the starting point of creation is a star that revolves around Sirius and is known as the 'Digitaria star'. Their understanding is that this star is small, but heavy, and contains the building elements of creation."

Two French anthropologists Marcel Griaule and Germaine Dieterlen studied the Dogon tribe that live in an isolated mountainous region of Bandiagara, south of the Sahara Desert in Mali, West Africa. Mr. Griaule wrote about their discoveries of the Dogon tribe in his book, "Conversations with Ogotemmeli", published in 1947.

Ogotemmeli was the tribe's oral historian as was his father before him. He states that we were created by beings that genetically engineered our DNA. In fact, he said that our DNA was manipulated three times and that three different versions of humans were designed. This was due to failed experiments by out creators. Amphibious aliens from the Sirian star system, that landed on earth with "great noise and wind" on a 3-legged spacecraft. These aliens combined their DNA with the DNA of single sexed animals - us.

That's right this isolated African tribe have an oral history that claims Mankind was genetically seeded by a race of aliens called the Nummos and that this race of space-aliens came from a star system that only now, with advances in science and orbiting telescopes, can finally confirm the beliefs of a African tribe that originally migrated from Egypt

So the big question is or should be, "How can an isolated tribe, a people with no written history, have scientific information concerning stars light years away that astronomers are just confirming today?"

Although, their places of origin seem to defer, there are amazing similarities between the Nummo and the Annunaki who came to earth and settled Sumer. Ironically, both species of aliens are reported to have been in Egypt approximately 4-5000 years ago. Both races appear in ancient mythology as being dressed as fish or amphibians! Zecharia Sitchin has amassed a life time of information about the Sumerians and the 12th planet. For more information on Zecharia Sitchin and the 12th planet click here.
