| | | | | Dogon
A tribe from a remote area of Mali, West Africa.
The Dogon live today as they have for thousands of years: in mud-brick houses below the Bandiagara cliffs. In the sandy plains, they grow the millet and sorghum they need to survive.
The Dogon believe that visitors from the star Sirius descended among them many thousands of years ago and taught them the sophisticated astronomical lore that forms an important part of their tribal knowledge.
Although they do not have any modern astronomical equipment, they do possess a impressively detailed knowledge of astronomy, specially about Sirius being a double star. Sirius A existence was established in the mid-19th century, but Sirius B was only discovered in the 1970's, and it is only visible with the use of of high powered telescopes.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |
