In a landlocked territory somewhere in west Africa there lives a very curious ethnic group called the Dogon people. Simply put, in the middle of nowhere pure culture blossoms. Even though they have no modern plumbing, it’s been reported that they seem to possess an advanced astronomical knowledge. It’s not the first time when it comes to cosmic science that ancient people have outsmarted us. In t
his case, one of the most popular legends of the Dogon people talks about the arrival of an amphibian people from space in a chariot of fire!
These mermaids or mermen taught the Dogon people to value human life, respect the land and live in harmony with the universe. Every year the Dogon people celebrate their encounter with the ancient visitors from space. They put on elaborate and very imaginative costumes and perform spiritual ceremonies. This way they express themselves as guardians of purity of the land. Lets, for a second, ignore the fact of the harshness of their lifestyle and idon’tgiveadamn attitude and agree how fearless and colorful their celebrations are. Something should be learned from these people for real.
