It is also interesting to note that the culture of the DOGON Tribe of Northern Africa, is centered around preparation for sacred festivals celebrating Sirius.
They keep and maintain a "starmap" of the orbital pattern of both Sirius A and B, TO SCALE and have done so for what seems to be thousands of years, on the side of a cliff using chalk. This map is carefully maintained and kept. Something odd about this is the fact that Sirius B cannot be seen with the naked eye. When this tribe was discovered by European explorers, they dismissed the impressiveness of this starmap and the Dogon Tribe as meaningless until the advent of telescopic technology proved that the Dogon Tribe was actually correct! The other interesting thing about this tribe is that their culture is steeped very deeply in the use of Cannabis. In Latin the word Cannabis is comprised of Canna (Canine) and Bis (Bi, or two). The two-dog Plant!! This tribe also uses the same word "Dog" as the English Language...
