Jack, or maybe we are all NOT related!

If you like science and people then you will like this one.
There are few books on the following subject but
in a nutshell it goes like this....

The African Tribe, the Dogon, have "folklore" that makes
Gaileo's discoveries quiver in the face of science and God.

<<<Making matters even more controversial, this tribe's astronomical accuracy is not limited to the Sirius system. The Dogon priests also informed the two French anthropologists that Jupiter has four moons, that Saturn is encircled by a series of halo-like rings, that the planets orbit the sun (many simple mythologies claim the converse), that Earth is round (not flat, as often alleged in primitive folklore), and that it rotates upon its own axis. They even spoke of the galaxy of stars, i.e. the Milky Way, being spiral in shape.>>>

Zeev, any justification for an African tribe knowing
scientific stuff long before the telescope was invented?

Or are we all not related and perhaps the honest people in
our world are actually from another world, far far away...
