Sirius Star System: The Dogon Tribe, Nommo, and Ancient Cosmic Knowledge

Sirius is more than just the brightest star in the night sky. For thousands of years, it has been a symbol of mystery, higher knowledge, and even contact with otherworldly beings. Long before modern telescopes confirmed that Sirius is a binary star system, the Dogon tribe of Mali already knew about its invisible companion, Sirius B. They described its orbit, its density, and its cosmic significance, knowledge they say was given to them by the Nommo, advanced beings from Sirius. Some researchers even connect these visitors to the Anunnaki of Mesopotamian legend, suggesting a shared ancient civilisation that shaped humanity’s history.

Sirius Star System

Sirius, often called the Dog Star, sits about 8.6 light years away in the constellation Canis Major. To the naked eye, it appears as a single bright point, but astronomers have discovered it is actually a binary system- Sirius A, the luminous main star, and Sirius B, a dense white dwarf invisible without powerful telescopes.

While Western science confirmed Sirius B’s existence in the late 19th and 20th centuries, there is one mystery that has puzzled researchers for decades: the Dogon tribe already knew about it.

The Dogon Tribe’s Astonishing Knowledge

The Dogon are an indigenous people in West Africa with an incredibly detailed oral tradition. For generations, they have passed down stories describing Sirius B’s existence, its dense nature, and its fifty-year orbital period around Sirius A. They even speak of a possible third star, sometimes referred to as Sirius C, which remains debated in astronomy.

What makes this so remarkable is that their knowledge predates modern astronomical equipment. According to Dogon elders, this information was not guessed or observed with primitive tools. It was taught to them by beings who came from Sirius.

The Nommo and Ancient Visitors

In Dogon cosmology, these visitors are known as the Nommo. They are described as amphibious, god-like beings who descended from the sky in a spinning craft. The Nommo are said to have shared knowledge of astronomy, agriculture, and spiritual law, and are considered the ancestors and teachers of the Dogon people.

Some modern researchers draw parallels between the Nommo and the Anunnaki of Sumerian mythology. While they come from different cultural traditions, both are described as sky beings who shaped early human civilisation and passed on sacred knowledge. This has led to theories that they could be part of the same advanced civilisation, remembered under different names across the ancient world.

Sirius in the Ancient World

The Dogon were not the only ancient culture to revere Sirius. In ancient Egypt, Sirius was known as Sopdet or Sothis. Its heliacal rising in July marked the flooding of the Nile and the start of the Egyptian New Year, a time associated with rebirth, fertility, and abundance. Temples were aligned with Sirius, and it was linked to the goddess Isis, a figure of divine wisdom and guidance.

Robert Temple’s The Sirius Mystery suggests that the reverence for Sirius across multiple ancient cultures hints at a shared origin of knowledge, possibly from an advanced civilisation or visitors from the stars.

Sirius and the Lion’s Gate Connection

Today, many in the spiritual community celebrate the Lion’s Gate each August when the Sun in Leo aligns with Sirius. This period is seen as a time of heightened energy and manifestation. However, the deeper significance lies in the fact that for thousands of years, cultures from Egypt to West Africa have regarded Sirius as a source of wisdom and spiritual activation.

When people work with Sirius energy today, whether during Lion’s Gate or at other times, they are connecting to a tradition rooted in ancient star knowledge and possibly in direct contact with otherworldly beings.

Why Sirius Still Matters

Sirius is more than a point of light in the night sky. It is a symbol of cosmic connection, higher consciousness, and the possibility that humanity has always been part of a wider galactic community. The stories of the Dogon, the Nommo, and even the Anunnaki suggest that our history may be far more expansive, and far older, than we have been taught.

If you feel a deep pull toward Sirius, it may be more than curiosity. It could be a soul memory, a connection to a lineage that reaches beyond Earth.
