A guy I don't know says that a guy he don't know says that a guys who's
dead heard from another guy who's dead a story about how some mythological
being may have looked, so therefore UFO are ET. Right. Sure.
If I ever get arrested for a crime, I sure hope Mike Spitzer is the DA,
because I'm not going to have to hire Johnny Cochran to get out of the
charge.
This is an intriguing story, though. It may even mean what Mike implies it
means. However, it is not evidence. At most, it's a clue. It's worth
pursuing, perhaps, but nothing more.
>Vladimir V. Rubtsov
Rubtsov says that Temple says that Guerrier says that an unnamed source
says that "the" Dogon believe. etc., etc. I'd like to hear this from a
Dogon, any Dogon, even a Christian Dogon.
The key to understanding this story is the dates. Tell us when the nature
of the Sirius system became known to science. Tell us how many years
passed before this story was collected by Guerrier's unnamed source.
Demonstrate conclusively how it is completely impossible for Guerrier's
unnamed source to have heard the story from a European before he told it.
People tell anthropologists all kinds of stuff, true and otherwise, for a
variety of reasons, not the least of which are personal material gain and
the status inherent of being the anthropologist's chosen informant. They
also sometimes play mind games with the anthropologist. They also lie to
impress anthropologists. Anthropologists themselves make stuff up
sometimes, likewise to achieve status and material gain. Anthropologists
learn this as part of their training. Was Guerrier's unnamed source even
an anthropologist, trained to select reliable informants and to sort out
the crap from what they say? Rubtsov does not tell us.
> But it appears that relevant (and rather interesting) information can
also be foundin those vestiges of the great mythologies of Europe, Asia
and Africa which have survived till now, however odd and strange they may
appear to us.
Sirius is awfully bright. Of course people told stories about it. They had
to pass the time somehow. TV hadn't been invented. The wide distribution
of certain mythological motifs can be explained, at least in part, by
travel and trade. Our ancestors got around a whole lot further and a whole
lot earlier than orthodox nineteenth and twentieth science gives them
credit for.
What's more, it is becoming increasingly clear that in all probability a
great disaster befell our planet as recently as ten to twelve thousand
years ago, well within the range of oral history. Could "Typhon" have been
a small comet that first appeared in the sky in the vicinity of Sirius
and struck somewhere in the Artic or the Pacific, causing the sudden die
off of the Pleistocene mega fauna everywhere but Africa and southern Asia
(the other side of the planet), and wiping out or seriously damaging human
civilization and setting back human progress thousands of years? Could the
collective memory of this trauma be carried down to this day as various
myths? It has certainly been suggested before, and with the same set of
"proofs" people use for archeo-ET contact. In fact more credible proofs
than myths exist for human civilization in, and prior to, the last Ice Age
than exist for archeo-ET contact. The Piri Reis maps come to mind, among
others. Nevertheless, it's an intriguing hypothesis, nothing more. So is
archeo-ET contact.
While I am not willing to rule out archeo-ET contact per se, I find
natural disaster to be a far more likely explanation for the collapse of
any truly ancient higher civilization. As for the ever growing popularity
of of the "ET culture bearer" hypothesis, I sense a strong undercurrent of
European ethno-centrism. Why do I always hear about how "Benevolent Space
Brothers" must have helped build the Pyramids, etc. but not the equally
impressive great cathedrals of Europe? Could it be because white people
are said to have built the cathedrals, and being white they didn't need
any help from superior beings, unlike our "little brown brothers" who
"lack the capacity" to achieve engineering feats of this scale?
We must factor in racism, here. Everybody is a racist. This is a racist
society. This is a racist world. It wasn't always thus, but it is today.
Anybody who grows up on earth carries with them as part of their cultural
baggage a certain irrational undercurrent that severely inhibits the
ability to objectively analyze the stories, the beliefs and the culture
itself of other peoples . As a student of history, familiar with the
centuries of abominable atrocities that the French have committed in
Africa, I am loath to take any Frenchman at his word about anything that
he says happened in Africa, ever. Does this mean I am a bigot. Of course
it does. We all are, to greater or lesser extents. Does it mean my
mistrust is misplaced? Not in the least. Frenchmen have lied through their
teeth about Africa and Africans for centuries and centuries, ever since,
in fact, it first dawned on one of them that there was a lot of money to
be made by doing so. In view of history, in view of human nature, it
greatly behooves us to take anything any Frenchman, or any European at
all, says about Africans with a large grain of salt. Europeans are lying,
thieving, murderous people. Ask any African. For that matter ask anybody
who has ever had the hideous misfortune of encountering them.
So let's hear this Dogon story from a Dogon. Let's hear it from a bunch of
Dogon who are not related and who aren't getting paid to tell it. Then
let's try to figure it out. In the meantime, it's third hand hearsay from
unreliable, even unnamed sources.
