Sirius (sîr´ê-es) noun
A star in the
constellation Canis Major, the brightest star in the sky,
approximately 8.6 light-years
distant from Earth. Also called Dog Star, Sothis.
[Latin Sìrius, from
Greek Seirios, from seirios, burning.]

from Hoagland's website: "The most striking aspect of this
completely unexpected historical 'Sirius link' was the
discovery that ... 33 minutes after Apollo 11's famous
landing ... Buzz Aldrin (who is an acknowledged Freemason),
celebrated a quiet ceremony to the goddess 'Isis' -- even as Isis
(Sirius) stood at a precise, meticulously pre-planned,
ceremonial 19.5 degrees above the eastern 'Tranquility Base'
lunar horizon."

According to Temple, the Dogon knew that
Sirius had an invisible companion (the white dwarf star Sirius
B). "The Dogon name for Sirius B consists of the word for star,
tolo, and po, the name of the smallest seed known to them. By
this name they describe the star's smallness - it is, they say,
'the smallest thing there is.' They also claim that it is 'the
heaviest star' (since in it the element earth is replaced by an
immensely heavy metal called sagala), so heavy 'that all earthly
beings combined cannot lift it.' And the color of the star is
white. The Dogon thus attribute to Sirius B its three principal
qualities as a white dwarf: its smallness, heaviness, and
whiteness. They go on to say that the start's orbit is
elliptical, with Sirius A at one focus of the ellipse, that the orbital
period is 50 years (the actual figure is 50.04 plus or minus .09
years), and that the star rotates on its own axis. The Dogon
also describe a third star in the Sirius system, called Emme Ya
('sorghum female'). In orbit around this star, they say, is a
single satellite. To date Emme Ya has not been detected by
Western astronomers."

Mysteries of the Unexplained_
In the early 1920s Antonin
Artaud wrote a
one-act surrealist
play called "There Is No More Firmament". After everyday
scenes, there is rising panic as the Sun gets bigger and
plague breaks out, accompanied by thundering noises; someone
says, "It was a magnetic phenomenon", then a loudspeaker
announces, "STUPENDOUS DISCOVERY. SKY PHYSICALLY ABOLISHED.
EARTH ONLY A MINUTE AWAY FROM SIRIUS. NO MORE FIRMAMENT." One
actor claims it is the end of the world. Another says it is 2
worlds ramming each other. There is a chant hailing the new
ruler, King Mob. A revolutionary says, "We won't see the
Antichrist yet", then a scientist explains: "The molecular
grouping in Sirius is everything. These two forces, ours and
theirs, had to be put in touch with each other".
from Diagnosis 2012
"The Dogon say that
their astronomical knowledge was given to them by the Nommos,
amphibious beings sent to earth from the Sirius star system
for the benefit of humankind. The name comes form a Dogon word
meaning 'to make one drink', and the Nommos are also called
Masters of the Water,
The Monitors, and The Instructors. They came to earth
somewhere to the northeast of the Dogon's present homeland.
When their vessel landed (after a 'spinning or whirling'
descent and with a great noise and wind), it skidded to a
stop, scoring the ground....At that time a new star (perhaps a
mother ship) was seen in the sky."
- _Mysteries of the Unexplained_ (from Robert Temple, The
Sirius Mystery)
Temple "says that the Dogon have a
traditional belief in Sirius B, which claim that it's made of a
material called sagala (translation: 'strong') " so heavy that
all earthly beings combined cannot lift it. The Dogon also
accept the idea that the Earth revolves around the Sun, and are aware of the 4 Galilean moons of Jupiter and Saturn's rings...This was
all discovered in the 1930s, when the Dogon were
anthropologically investigated."

"Sirius B was
discovered in 1862 (not 1962) by Alvan Clark as he was testing
the new lens he'd
made for Dearborn Observatory's 18 1/2 inch refracting
telescope. He at first thought he'd found a defect in the
lens, but he finally realized he'd discovered the companion
star that had been suspected since 1844. From 1834 to 1844
F.W.Bessel had noticed a wavy irregularity in the motion of
Sirius against the background stars, and had concluded that it
had an invisible companion. The orbit of the proposed
companion had been calculated in 1851 by C.H.F.Peters. By 1910
astronomers began to realize that there were a class of stars,
eventually called white dwarfs, which were very small and dim,
yet very massive, which meant they had to be incredibly dense.
In 1915 the first spectrum of Sirius B was obtained by W.Adams
at Mt.Wilson, which is all that would have been needed to
classify it as a white dwarf. However, I couldn't find
any information
on when it was indeed realized that Sirius B was a white
dwarf."

"Saturn's rings and Jupiter's Galilean moons had been known since the invention of the telescope. By 1930 four more of Jupiter's moons had been discovered, however, the fifth was found as late as 1892 by E.E.Barnard, and the rest followed as photography came into use as an astronomical tool around the turn of the century.
"As for a third star, Phillip Fox reported in 1920 that the image of Sirius B had appeared to be double, using the same 18 1/2 inch refractor with which Clark discovered B. R.T.Innes in S.Africa and van den Bos, a renowned double-star observer, also reported the 3rd star. I should note here that these were visual studies, and the object in question is at the very limit of what can be observed with a telescope. In 1973 a study by I.W.Lindenblad at the U.S.Naval Observatory concluded that there is no astrometric (measurement of irregularities of motion against the background, probably on photographs) evidence for a 3rd star."
"My conclusions: Nothing extraordinary need be invoked to account for the Dogon's knowledge. Someone probably gave the Dogons the information, probably after 1920. I admit there are inconsistencies: anyone astronomically knowledgeable enough to know about Sirius B would most likely have known about the additional moons of Jupiter, but then again, so would any hypothetical visitors from beyond. Also, why did the Dogons claim that this was part of their traditions? By the way, I could not confirm the Dogons knowledge of a 3rd star. This is unfortunate, as it would prove beyond doubt that they were given all this information by someone, as the modern study showed no such star exits."

"The earliest Egyptians believed
Sirius [Sothis] was the home of departed souls, which the
Dogons also believe."

According to Philip Vandenberg, The Curse of
the Pharaohs, "an archeologist named Duncan MacNaughton
discovered in 1932 that the long dark tunnels in the Great Pyramid of Cheops
function as telescopes, making the stars visible even in the
daytime. The Greater Pyramid is oriented, according to
MacNaughton, to give a view, from the King's Chamber, of the
area of the southern sky in which Sirius moves throughout the
year."
- Robert Anton Wilson - _Cosmic Trigger_

"A north/south section
of the Pyramid
of Cheops shows that the two so-called 'air-shafts' leading
out from the King's
Chamber are, within one degree of accuracy, inclined so
that the northern one is centered on the celestial Pole and
the southern one on the three stars of Orion's Belt. Virginia
Trimble pointed out that, in the light of the ancients' mystic sense,
it is obvious that these openings were meant to be guide ways
for the soul, aiming either towards the Circumpolars in the
northern sky or to the constellation of Orion in the southern
sky."
"In the north at the
approximate time of the pyramid's construction in 2700 BC, the
Pole was occupied by Alpha Draconis, the star around which
turned the Circumpolars - called the 'Indestructibles' since
they never disappear below the horizon. Thus they were the
symbol of immortality.
The King then, triumphant over the trials of terrestrial life,
will ascend imperishable in the northern sky. "From the
southern sky, the ancients had chosen thirty-six stars or
constellations, the decans, whose consecutive helical risings
occurred approximately every ten days. The rising of each
decan occurred after it had passed seventy days of
invisibility, a period corresponding to that of mummification.
Among these stars are Osiris (Orion) and Isis-Sothis
(Sirius), symbols of yearly renewal, of the regeneration of
the Nile, of cyclic death and rebirth."
