The Dogon people of Mali are renowned for their intricate art, architecture, and astronomical knowledge, particularly the Sirius Star System, including Sirius B, a white dwarf. The Dogon claim that their astronomical insights were given to them by alien beings called Namos, believed to have visited Earth from the Sirius System around 3,200 BC. This history of the Dogon people and their knowledge of celestial phenomena has stirred debate among scholars. Some suggest their knowledge may have been influenced by external sources or introduced after European astronomers' discoveries. Marcel Griehl documented the Dogon's astronomical beliefs, but opinions among scholars very regarding its accuracy and origins. The Dogon celebration of the Seagulli Festival every 60 years is thought to symbolize the orbital period of Sirius B around Sirius A. The authenticity of the Dogon's astronomical knowledge is still up for debate. The only certainty is that it's a topic which continues to captivate interest and sparks speculation.
