Here Are 6 Scientific Ideas The Dogon People Of Mali Knew Long Before Western Scientists Made The Same Discoveries

The oral traditions of the Dogon hold the secrets of the universe.

Here Are 6 Scientific Ideas The Dogon People Of Mali Knew Long Before Western Scientists Made The Same Discoveries:

• The Invisible Companion Star:

The Dogon knew about Sirius B, a tiny, dense star orbiting Sirius A, centuries before its discovery in 1862.

They accurately described its 50-year orbit, high density, and small size.

Western science only confirmed these details in the 20th century, with the orbit precisely measured in 1995

The Seed of the Universe:

The Dogon concept of “po,” a primordial seed containing all matter, mirrors the Big Bang theory.

Galaxies Beyond Our Own:

The Dogon knew of “countless stars spinning in space”.

Western astronomers didn’t confirm the existence of other galaxies until 1924, when Edwin Hubble made his groundbreaking observations.

The Dark Foundations of the Cosmos:

In Dogon tradition, their creator Amma formed the universe from darkness.

This aligns with the modern theory of dark matter (proposed in 1933) and dark energy (discovered in 1998), which together make up 95% of the universe.

Quantum Duality:

The Dogon concepts of “Nommo” and the “pale fox” are the principles of duality and interconnectedness.

These ideas parallel concepts like wave-particle duality (proposed in 1905) and quantum entanglement (theorized in 1935).

The Cosmic Web:

The Dogon describe the “work of the spider,” a concept that mirrors aspects of string theory (developed in the 1960s-70s) and the cosmic web structure of the universe (discovered in the late 1980s).

This deep cosmic knowledge was preserved for centuries in African oral traditions and proves the sophisticated scientific thinking embedded in ancient African culture<<Continue Reading>>>
