Comment Fifty

From Barbelith

50. The name of the healthy twin, hyperuniverse I, is Nommo (Nommo is represented in a fish form, the early Christian fish). The name of the sick twin, hyperuniverse II, is Yurugu. These names are known to the Dogon people of western Sudan in Africa.

(chris23) Nommo is the fish god of the Dogons, believed to have descended from Sirius. The Dogon have retained very precise astronomical information about the Sirius trinary system which they claim was given to them by Nommo many millenia ago. This information was discovered by western anthropologists early in the 20th century, when very little was known about Sirius. After the info was documented, astronomists in the 50's were able to verify it scientifically for the first time. How did the Dogon know?
