THC 28: Philip Coppens | The Ancient Alien Question
Dogon Tribe, Sirius B Star Knowledge Debunked
Philip Coppens dismisses the popular theory that the Dogon tribe possessed advanced, impossible knowledge of the invisible star Sirius B. He argues that author Robert Temple sensationalized the tribe's lore by claiming the star was invisible to the naked eye, whereas the Dogon themselves state the star is visible but difficult to see near the horizon. This correction removes a common pillar of ancient astronaut theory regarding high-technology intervention.
