[QUOTE="Harte, post: 96016, member: 443"] Marcel Griaule, I presume. First, Graiule's report doesn't actually say what was claimed about it in "The Sirius Mystery" (Robert Temple.) The small book he wrote on it is available free online. If I can find it again, I'll link it here. Griaule was an Anthropologist with a side interest in Astronomy. Griaule himself, through the use of star charts he brought with him, led the Dogon elders into saying what he claimed. But he got it wrong, and even the fringe has begun to come around to the truth of this matter. A follow-up investigation conducted by Walter Van Beek showed that the Dogon weren't talking about Sirius (they couldn't even point it out in the sky) and that the only Dogon that had ever heard of any companion to Sirius (Sirius B) were the same Dogon that had been interviewed by Griaule himself. In other words, Griaule's claim is the result of cultural contamination by Griaule himself. See, at the time, it was thought that a third companion star to Sirius had been discovered. But that turned out to be wrong, eventually. However, Griaule reported that the Dogon knew all about this same Sirius C as well! I should add that, while the many fringe claims about the Dogon state that they were some "isolated tribe" that "couldn't possibly have known" anything about astronomy, the truth is many Dogon fought on European battlefields in WWI and some actually moved to France and attended university there. Hardly "isolated." If you know who Phillip Coppens was, you should know he was a hard-line believer in all things fringe - to the point of absurdity. but here's an excerpt from Coppens regarding "The Sirius Mystery" Source: [URL='http://www.philipcoppens.com/dogonshame.html']Coppens[/URL] There exists not a scintilla of evidence for any ancient alien intervention anywhere in human history. Obviously, that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. But it does mean that there is absolutely no reason to believe it ever happened. Harte [/QUOTE]
