WOW! That was insane! I've always been fascinated by the Dogon!
I did not realize that they were connected to the Mali.
I heard the commentator mention the Egyptologist Nicholas Grimal's research on them. I do believe too that they stem from the earliest Egyptian civilization. But I also think that the Dogon have a rich connection to the Cush Babylonians and the Philistines too because of their deep understanding of the constellations and outer space. Some modern scholars don't want to believe that the Dogon knew about the double star, Sirius, and that they knew about the rings around the planet saturn over a thousand years before they did. What an insult! The ancient Cush Hamites of the Babylonian empire were the ones noted for their genious in this field of science. They were the ones to develop the cirle and 60 degree concept! Like the Egyptians, they developed calendars and mapped constellations. They aligned certain stars with the earth and made constructions in this regards.
This video mentioned their understanding of the electrons that are around the nucleus! Wow! That does correlate to the solar system as well, and in how certain stars and double stars revolve around each other. They mention the spindle and how the fertilized egg's membrane becomes hardened with it is fertilized, and that is my territory as I have a degree in Biology, so this is so fascinating to hear! They correlate biology to outer space, and I have been studying this concept for some years now. Love this!
