Aliens/UFOs have been an interest of mine since I was in 3rd grade. I do know the Dogon tribe claimed their gods came from Sirius and they were aware of the Star system. So essentially ancient alien stuff. Didn’t know they claimed to be from there
Now if the Dogons were Klingons, they would have slain their gods, stolen their spaceship, and built a mighty space empire. But no they were just another loser tribe that stopped advancing.
Yes. Zachariah Steichen (I have read Genesis Revisited). But I notice quite a few tribes across the world have some sort of story about their gods coming from the sky or water. Or the Ant People the Hopi talk about. But he is the one that talked about the Annunaki. Very interesting ideas
Maybe it was their knowledge of Sirius B. Been a long time since I read the article but I remember they had knowledge of something that surprised scientists
The article doesn't posit that the tribe is from there, just that they met the Nommos who are supposedely from there. I find the names interesting though. Sirius being the Dog Star. African Dogon tribe. Mesopotemian Dagon/Dagan. Japanese Dogû. Maybe even Dragon.
Similarities between other names and their surrounding lore is also fascinating. Valhalla (Asgard), Shamballa (Agarth), Xibalba (), Shangri-la (), Patala (), Matarta (), Atlantis (), Antillia (), Avalon (), and more. City and Country.
I’ve noticed that as well interesting when you look into those ancient groups. Also I remember hearing that the etymology of the word dog is kind of unknown

True. Still you could make a good sci fi story about aliens using natives to mine gold or something
Battlefield Earth already exists
Well it could be done better than that. To be fair I’ve only seen the movie. Was the book any good?
Wasn't that done with the Anunnaki? But presented as fact rather than sci fi.

Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky so that's not surprising.
