I know I trust my visions, and they always play out in my timeline. The key is understanding the symbols in the vision. - Daniel had visions of a smaller star breaking off from a larger star and entering the solar system then, we would need to understand Daniel's story and what those symbols meant to him.
Please don't take my words as disagreeing with the interpretation; however, if we don't examine Daniel's life and times, we may miss a broader
message intended for us.
Also, I'm not religious, so I don't fear a physical death, especially since I've been there and done that...Long story short, we don't die.
But I do find cosmology fascinating, and it was the Dogon people who brought this line of study to civilization. Was Daniel from or ever connected with that lineage? If I were going to try to uncover the symbology, I'd dig for context through Daniel's journey. (It is how I can see the hidden) But sometimes I use Google as a shortcut.
A funny thing about AI is that it is trained on a lot of information, but it can't help but offer connections if prompted. Now, take this with a grain of salt, because the following response isn't the gospel truth. I read and study too much, and I can fill in the gaps if I'm pushed to remember...
But look what Google's AI mentioned
There is no verifiable evidence of any direct connection between the biblical figure Daniel's lineage and the Dogon people of Mali. The idea is largely based on speculative theories that link the Israelite Tribe of Dan, rather than Daniel's specific lineage, with the Dogon through shared themes of migration, serpent symbolism, and advanced astronomical knowledge.
Why a connection is unlikely
No historical or archaeological proof. There is no textual, genetic, or archaeological evidence connecting the ancient Israelites to the Dogon. The Dogon's own migration stories point to an origin in the Nile Valley, not the Levant.
Differing Dogon origins. While some Dogon oral traditions reference origins in the Mande kingdom, their languages, culture, and architecture reflect influences from diverse groups who settled in the Bandiagara escarpment in Mali between the 14th and 16th centuries.
Contested astronomical knowledge. Much of the speculation linking the Dogon to other advanced civilizations relies on their knowledge of the star system Sirius, including the existence of Sirius B, which is invisible to the naked eye. However, scholars like Carl Sagan have argued this knowledge may have come from contact with European astronomers in the 20th century, not ancient, independent knowledge.
Limited information on Daniel's lineage. The biblical book of Daniel does not provide the lineage of the prophet Daniel, only that he was of noble or royal descent from the tribe of Judah. Other figures named Daniel exist in the Bible, but none are linked to the Dogon.
Confusing two biblical figures. Confusion may stem from esoteric theories that link the Tribe of Dan—one of the twelve tribes of Israel—to the Dogon, often based on interpreting Jacob's blessing of Dan as a celestial serpent. However, this theory is unfounded and lacks direct historical support.
The speculative theories
The claim of a link between the ancient Israelites and the Dogon people is confined to esoteric, or fringe, circles. The speculative argument often follows this pattern:
Shared symbolism: Proponents point to similarities in serpent symbolism found in both cultures, such as the imagery used in Jacob's blessing of the Tribe of Dan and the serpentine Nommo figures of the Dogon.
Advanced cosmology: They claim the Dogon's sophisticated astronomical knowledge, centered on the star system Sirius, was transmitted by the Tribe of Dan during an unrecorded migration to West Africa.
Ambiguous fate: These theories play on the ambiguous fate of the ten lost tribes of Israel, which included the Tribe of Dan.
These proposals are not supported by mainstream historical or anthropological evidence and are better explained by coincidental cultural similarities or the independent development of mythology.
So, in conclusion, we must reject conclusions from Western Scholars 😅
