Cool man.....yeah the Dogon are from Mali. Back in the 30s they were studied by some Anthropologist from Belguim. They told him about consilations in the sky and explained myths relating to them. One in particular being the star syrus and how it would wiggle because of the white dwarf that would circle it in such a rapid speed. Anyhow, it wasn't until 1978 when the technology to actually physically see the consilation of sirus. Turns out the Dogon where right about a white dwarf spinning around it so rapidly.

The mystery being how did a hunting and gathering society know things about the consilations that were impossible to be seen by the naked eye until nearly 50 years later. They also were able to talk of other consilations.

They live in cliffs (if they are still around I think they are) and create amazing art and are incredibly advanced for a society without using the "perks" of modern technology.

sorry bout the rant....as for myself I do have a degree in creative writing and screenwriting was my first passion. Now it is short stories, Comics, Screenwriting, and Novella. I just live to write anything.....if you couldn't tell....

Anyways sorry again....later man

I am looking to utilize some ideas that aren't necessarily for a book but an aspiration for cinema. It's still the same genre of African lores. Anyway, thanks for stopping by. -Brent
