There was program on Animal Planet called Mermaids and I just watched a TV show called Sirens... Interesting 🤔

Then I started thinking approx. 72% of the Earths surface is covered with water and the deepest part of the ocean is about 40,000 feet about 7.5 miles deep.

And the FACT we are still finding new creatures on land... Imagine what could be in our oceans? 

Ever see the movie... The Abyss 😉

How many are aware of the Dogon of West Africa?!

The Dogon beliefs are enormously complex and knowledge of them varies greatly within Dogon society. 

Dogon beliefs are defined primarily through the worship of the ancestors and the spirits whom they encountered as they slowly migrated from their obscure ancestral homelands to the Bandiagara cliffs. 

The ancestral spirits were called the Nommo 💫

There are three principal beliefs among the Dogon; the Awa, Lebe and Binu.

The Awa is a belief of the dead, whose purpose is to reorder the spiritual forces disturbed by the death of Nommo, a mythological ancestor of great importance to the Dogon.

The Lebe believe in the Earth God and are primarily concerned with the agricultural cycle and its chief priest are called a Hogon.

The Binu’s belief is a totemic practice and it has complex associations with the Dogon's sacred places used for ancestor worship, spirit communication and agricultural sacrifices, no different than a sacred alter.

*Notice the TRINITY 🤔

The Dogon are famous for their astronomical knowledge taught through oral tradition, dating back thousands of years, referencing the star system Sirius linked with the Egyptian (Kemet) goddess Isis. 

The astronomical information known by the Dogon was not discovered and verified until the 19th and 20th centuries, making one wonder how the Dogon came by this knowledge. 

Their oral traditions say it was given to them by the Nommo. 

The source of their information may date back to the time of the ancient Egyptian (Kemet) priests and the time Osiris & Isis may have walked the earth 🌏

Osiris is pictured with green skin 😉

The word Nommos is derived from a Dogon word meaning, "to make one drink," The Nommos are usually described as amphibious, some say hermaphroditic, fish-like creatures. 

Depictions of the Nommos show the creatures with humanoid upper torsos, legs (hips), and a fish-like lower torso and tail. 

The Nommos are also referred to as "Masters of the Water", "the Monitors", and "the Teachers".

Dogon mythology states that Nommo was the first living creature created by the sky god Amma. 

Shortly after his creation, Nommo underwent a transformation and multiplied into four pairs of twins. 

One of the twins rebelled against the universal order created by Amma. 

To restore order to his creation, Amma sacrificed another of the Nommo progeny, whose body was dismembered and scattered throughout the world. 

This dispersal of body parts is seen by the Dogon as the source for the proliferation of Binu shrines throughout the Dogons traditional territory; wherever a body part fell, a shrine was erected.

The Nommos descended from the sky in a vessel accompanied by fire and thunder. 

After arriving, the Nommos created a reservoir of water and subsequently dove into the water. 

The Dogon legends state that the Nommos required a watery environment in which to live. 

According to the myth related to Griaule and Dieterlen: "The Nommo divided his body among men to feed them; that is why it is also said that as the universe "had drunk of his body," the Nommo also made men drink. 

He gave all his life principles to human beings.

The Nommo was crucified on a tree, but was resurrected and returned to his home world. 

Dogon legend has it that he will return in the future to revisit the Earth in a human form.

DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR 🤔
