	Mali in 1999 (Dogon)
		The Dogon country can be visited either from Bankass which is on the plain or from the Bandiagara and Sangha villages which are on top of the escarpment.
		With the passage of time the Dogons began to build on the plain and gradually abandoned their original cliff dwellings which are now used only for ceremonial purposes such as burials.
		The Dogons are attached to their cliff villages as a symbol of their identity and cultural past and also for the tourist revenues derived from them but they do not seem to care enough to repair the ongoing damages that will eventually make these precious relics disappear.

	Los Dogon
		For centuries the Dogon have held as their most sacred religious tradition a body of knowledge of the star Sirius which should be impossible for any primitive tribe to know.
		Dogon legend has it that these dwellings were inhabited by a long-vanished people they call "the little blue men." The best interpolation of this story that I have come across is the one in the book "The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life" by Drunvalo Melchizedec.
		You see, the Dogons have a cave on their land that stretches way back into a mountain, and in this cave are wall drawings over 700 years old.

	From the Dogons and the Zulus: Two Impossible Stories
		And although the story of the Dogons may be found elsewhere (we'll give you a link later on), and found in detail in books like The Sirius Mystery by Robert Temple, it is usually not known that another tribe in Africa besides the Dogon holds an almost identical experience in their origin stories: the Zulu.
		The Dogons are an indigenous tribe in Africa.
		The first, small difference between the two stories is that, where the Dogons say the Nommo made a hole in the ground and filled it with water, the Zulus say that the Nommo landed in a valley, and then made it rain until the valley was filled with water.

	Those Doggone Dogons.
		Dogon knowledge of the universe does not stop there though, as they are also aware of the facts that Saturn has rings and that Jupiter has four major moons.
		The Dogon use four calenders, derived from the sun, moon, Sirius, and Venus, and have long believed in a heliocentric universe, in which the planets revolve around the sun.
		The name comes from the Dogon word meaning "to drink," and they also called "the Masters of Water", "the Monitors," and "the Instructors." The Dogon people describe these creatures as "fish-like," and they are of major importance in their reli-ion.

		Mastery of speech and decent behaviour are prerequisites to marriage according to Dogon rules.

		Loviton et Cie, p439-40: “There is no subject of conversation among adults which the presence of children puts a stop to approaching freely; no one would dream of controlling his language upon seeing at his side a little boy or little girl whom he might regard as too young to listen to certain information.

	UFOS at close sight: the Dogons, Sumer, ancient tales of extraterrestrial visitation
		The Dogons were a descendant of a Near East people, probably the Sumerians themselves, who had carried their oral traditions for thousands of years.
		To their amazement it was a triple star system with a large sun, a white dwarf star, very heavy and basically invisible, and a third, less powerful sun, not yet visible but calculated.
		Yes, the Dogons tradition reports an ancient extraterrestrial contact, but, no, it cannot be claimed that it was impossible that they knew that Sirius is a triple star system only from extraterrestrial sources.

		The Dogons were not pleased with this decision, as they considered that their unique understanding would give them power over surrounding tribes.

		Secondly, Jean-Claude researched the Dogons and found that they are a tribe in Africa with a very advanced understanding of mathematics.

	Dogon - SkepticWiki (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Dogon culture is an agricultural society settled in Mali, in Western Africa.
		But the most astonishing feature of the Dogon universe is Sirius, the brightest star in night sky and a prominent figure in Dogon culture: they say around Sirius, orbits two small, invisible, extremely dense and heavy stars made of some mineral unavailable on Earth, orbiting the main star every 50 years.
		On the other half, Dogons are well connected with the outside world, and they had plenty of opportunities for gaining their information on Sirius.
