>>1571410dogons not bullshit. its just prolly not very meaningful given the importance of sirius to a bunch of ancient civs around there
sirius is one of the brightest in the sky and a ton of cultures in north africa paid a lot of attn to it. iirc the egyptians actually worshipped it/used it to predict flood season on the nile. so some dogon dude prolly just got some scraps of the old egyptians homework and built a religion out of it
but they didnt know it was binary either tho. that wasnt till the mid 1800s
but as for the ayyys, i always thought it made a lotta sense
if i was an ayyy, on some possibly hostile/savage alien planet, id prolly go collect samples/data way tf out in the boonies too
dogon are in the middle of absolutely fuck all, even by africa standards
ayyy-kun prolly just made some doodles in the sand to try and see if they could communicate, realized they were dumb af, then took tf off, and so they spent the next thousand years worshipping meaningless doodles
