The Nommo was crucified and resurrected and in the future will again visit the earth, this time in human form. Laer he will assume his amphibious form and will rule the world from the waters.

If the Dogon accounts record something as momentous as a landing on this earth by beings from another star system, one would expect to find comparable descriptions elsewhere. Do such descriptions exist? They do, in Babylonian accounts of the Oannes, amphibious beings who came to this planet for the welfare of the human race. Their vehicle ws egg shaped, and they landed in the red Sea. The following descriptions are taken from a history of Mesopotamia written in the third centary B.C by Berossus, a Babylonian priest whose work survives only in fragments recorded by later Greek historians.

The Oannes "had the shape of a fish blended with that of a man. " a "complicated form between a fish and a man" ; they were "semi-demons-halfway between men and gods." Their appearance was repulsive:

The whole body of the animal was like that of a fish; and had under a fih's head, another head and also feet below, simimar to those of a man, subjoined to the fish's tail. His voice too, and language, was articulate and human...

This Being in the daytime used to converse with men, but took no food at that season; and he gave them an insight into letters and sciences, and every kind of art. He taught them to construct houses, to found temples, to compile laws, and explained to them the principles of geometrical knowledge... in short, he instructed them in everything which could tend to soften manners and humanize mankind... When the sun set, it was the custom of this Being to plunge again into the sea, and abide all night in the deep, for he was amphibious.

One further account of the Oannes is preserved, in summary form, by Saint Photius (c. A.D. 820-892), patriarch of Constantinople. In his Myriobiblon he says that the historian Helladius:

(cont)

recounts the story of a man named Oe who came out of the Red Sea having a fish-like body but the head, feet and arms of a man, and who taught astronomy and letters. Some accounts say that he came out of a great egg, whence his name, and that he was actually a man, but only seemed a fish because he was clothed in "the skin of a sea-creature."


It is possible that the Dogon Nommo and the Babylonian Oannes are different representations of the same event? The Dogon themselves insist that their people did not always live in their present homeland, and evidence suggests that they are descendants of Berbers who began a southward migration from Libya in the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D. and who, having intermarried with local blacks, were fully esablished in the Mali area by the 11th century.

If the Dogon did indeed come to Mali from the northeas, they may originally have been close enough to the Red Sea for a connection between the Nommo and Oannes to be geographically feasible. If so, however, it is curious that the Dogon alone should preserve the Sirius B information, while the Egyptians, who were certainly in contact with Babylonian culture, should perserve only a high regard for Sirius A, and that largely because it helped them to predict the Nile floods.

On these grounds, then, it seems likely that Dogon and Babylonian history record separate but similar events . (Robert Temple, The Sirius Mystery, passim)

So very cool In2, thanks for all this info. I believe I have heard of these people. They are amazing...with a clear connection to the Extraterristrials, yet so primative!

Bless You,

When i first read this i thought it was so very intresting! Happy you enjoyed it.
