Review of Ancient Aliens S14E04 "The Star Gods of Sirius"

6/21/2019

After a decade on the air, it’s surprising that Ancient Aliens has not devoted a whole episode to Robert Temple’s classic ancient astronaut tome The Sirius Mystery (1976). The show has made reference to claims from the book many times, including episodes from 2012, 2015, and 2016, but this is the first time I can recall in which the show has chosen to look at the fake mystery of the Dogon tribe’s supposed special knowledge of the Sirius star system for a complete hour. It would seem a surprising omission except that Ancient Aliens began life as an adaptation of Chariots of the Gods, and Erich von Däniken and Robert Temple never quite saw eye to eye on ancient space aliens. It goes without saying that the show made it through the whole episode without mentioning Temple.

It is likely no news to regular readers of this blog that the Sirius Mystery is a pack of lies dressed up with a thin veneer of pseudo-scholarship. I’ve written the same summary so many times that it isn’t worth rewriting it again. Since Ancient Aliens basically copies and pastes its episodes and has for years, I might as well copy and paste my review:
In the Sirius Mystery (1976), Robert Temple makes many extreme claims about an African tribe called the Dogon on the basis of anthropological work conducted by Marcel Griaule and Germain Dieterlen in the 1930s and 1940s. Griaule claimed that Dogon elders had shared with him knowledge about the star Sirius being a triple star, with its second star being a small dwarf with a 50-year orbit. Although much of this information had been known to science since 1862, Temple claimed that the Dogon could have learned it only from space aliens. (Science does not recognize a third star in the Sirius system.) When anthropologist Walter Van Beek attempted to confirm this story in the 1980s, he discovered no evidence that the Dogon had any special knowledge of Sirius, or that the stories Griaule reported were known to the Dogon. Many skeptics have concluded that Griaule unintentionally contaminated his research by unconsciously feeding his own knowledge of Sirius back to the Dogon. I have elsewhere reported on the failures of Temple’s scholarship that led him from this question to a faulty hypothesis of dissemination from Mesopotamia via the Argonauts.
​What makes for more of a classic episode of Ancient Aliens than a parade of ignoramuses confidently endorsing long-debunked claims founded on bad scholarship and wild speculation from the mid-twentieth century? It’s the tuna casserole of ancient astronautics: comforting, familiar, and slightly bland. It’s basically the perfect episode to run on this first night of the summer edition of Alien Con, which opened this morning. It is also a petty effort to avoid crediting Temple with his only real claim to fame, exposing a fault line in the incestuous world of ancient astronautics.
​Segment 1
The show opens with Griaule’s anthropological work with the Dogon, whom the show repeatedly describe as “mysterious.” Since they have stock footage of the Dogon, they can’t be that mysterious. In a better show, they might have spoken to some actual Dogon people, but instead the show perpetuates a colonialist idea that African tribes are “mysterious” and primitive, strange beings that in their evolutionary simplicity are closer to the state of nature and thus the gods.
 
The show rehearses the argument of the Sirius Mystery, though without attributing the argument to Temple. They freely omit parts of Griaule’s reportage that do not conform to modern observations. For example, the Dogon were said to have imagined Sirius as a triple star, but the show omits this in order to better make the Dogon’s claims align with the scientific conclusion that Sirius is binary—made up of two stars orbiting each other. Most of the familiar talking heads repeat elements of The Sirius Mystery, completely uncritically and without acknowledgement, and it is strange that the Dogon are spoken of only in the past tense, even though the Dogon are currently living in Mali. Physicist Michio Kaku prostitutes himself again by asserting that it “can’t be ruled out” that the Dogon gained secret knowledge from space aliens. Since they do not have special knowledge of Sirius beyond what Griaule gave them, Kaku is simply accepting the premise without a moment’s consideration of the facts.
 
The show discusses what they see as a global myth of fish-people, such as the Dogon’s Nommos, and then they talk about statues of lizard-people found in Sierra Leone. Although the statues are prima facie not 17,000 years old as the show claims, they allege that the statues were found buried so deep that they had to be deeply ancient. The statues are believed to date from the 1500s CE, but the show relies instead on an article quoting Erich von Däniken’s friend Klaus Dona to radically revise their age.
​Segment 2
The second segment tells us that visiting space aliens from the Sirius system resembled alligators standing on their hind legs, and the show alleges that the Nomo of the Dogon are the same as the Nomoli of Sierra Leone. One of the Nomoli statues contains a sphere of chromium, according to the show, though the standard claim in internet articles about the alleged sphere is that it is chromium and steel. Since Nomoli statues were made for centuries, I’m not really sure that there is much of an anomaly here. It is probably a recent statue.
 
The show next tries to connect the Dogon to the famous stele containing Hammurabi’s Code. Hammurabi attributed the code to divine inspiration, so naturally Giorgio Tsoukalos calls this an alien intervention. The show next speculates whether the Dogon are connected to the Philistine god Dagon, but it completely misunderstands Dagon, following a long-outdated belief that Dagon was a fish-man, a claim derived from a biblical confusion. As I wrote years ago, “The real Dagon, however, was not a fish god but an agrarian god. The confusion stemmed from a medieval rabbinical tradition that linked Dagon to the Hebrew word ‘dag,’ or fish. This traditional led early researchers to misidentify the Babylonian fish-god Oannes (the Sumerian Adapa) as Dagon.” The fish-man of Near East mythology was Oannes, who was later conflated with Dagon due to the influence of biblical translation. Based on this confusion, Tsoukalos proposes that peoples, places, and gods containing the syllable “Da” are all derived from the ethnonym of Sirius space aliens.
​Segment 3
The third segment returns to an ancient astronaut theory classic—the claim that ancient Japanese figurines look like aliens in space suits from the 1960s version of the Outer Limits. It also repeats claims from earlier episodes that the Japanese imperial family’s claim to have a divine origin suggests alien origins. They add that Japanese mythological dragons are really amphibious aliens. The show professes to express shock that the word for “dragon” is almost the same from Portugal to Japan. No shit, Sherlock. The Indo-European languages all share similar roots, and as for China and Japan—well, the show straight-up lied. The actual word used in Mandarin for dragon is lóng. The traditional Japanese word for dragon was ryū, derived from the Chinese, and the more common modern name, doragun, is just a transliteration of the English word. Similarly, the Basque word is a loan from Classical languages.
​Segment 4
In the fourth segment, the show relates a legend from Sierra Leone that the sky turned to stone and rained down when the Nomoli came from the heavens. In Sierra Leone, some very blue stones, first seen by Westerners in 1991, have been associated with the myth, and the show is interested in the rocks because they claim that the stones are not natural and could be “from another planet.” Past analyses have returned different results about the stones’ composition, including claims that the stones are made of pure oxygen (a misunderstanding popular online of its chemical composition) and claims that they contain organic compounds. David Childress has a sample of the rock tested at a laboratory at the University of Washington, and we go to commercial with a promise of results after the break.
​Segment 5
The geologist at the University of Washington, Peter Ward, tells Childress that the rock gave him “the creeps” because of its unusual composition, which contains a large amount of nitrogen. The show trims Ward’s comments to nothing, giving us no actual information about the stone’s geological makeup except that there was an “organic” component, though the show cut any discussion of what it might be. As best I can tell, Ward suggested that the stone may have been from a meteorite, but his comments are so truncated that it is impossible to judge what he really meant.
 
Having created what seems very much to be a deceptive conclusion based on heavily edited “evidence,” the show speeds along to Newgrange in order to allege that the ancient Irish site is aligned to Sirius, and the show repeats several times the idea that gods whose names start with Dog- or Dag- must be from Sirius. One of the gods of Ireland was Dagda, the leader of the Tuatha Dé Danann, and therefore the show speculates that Dagda was from Sirius and Newgrange was an “alien outpost.” That this contradicts Tsoukalos’s long-held claim that Puma Punku in Bolivia is the only ancient site built by aliens is passed over in silence. It is also not clear what aliens would want with a big stone tomb.
​Segment 6
The sixth segment repeats the same claims from earlier segments, and Tsoukalos endorses the silly idea that the various names for dragon all connected to the Indo-European original represent a word given to early humans around the world by space aliens from Sirius. William Henry tells us that the word “dog” was given to English by space aliens, derived from their ethnonym. But if they did, they did it very late. “Dog” enters English only late in Old English, gradually forcing out the Germanic original, hund. The Old English version, docga, is indeed of unknown origin, but as you can see, contrary to Ancient Aliens’ claims, the extra consonant in the middle means it is not cognate with Dagon or the Dogon.

I don't know how anyone sits through this crap. It's cool to see places like, Puma Punku but, you have to listen to DHC say the word "blocks" like, he's having a visceral moment. The Leonardo's alien knowledge episode was the last one, I remember sitting through. I laughed so hard, I cried. They added glowing eyes to a "hood". The only interesting idea was the "Custodial Race" hypothesis from "Gods of Eden".

NewGrange is designed to capture the light of Venus, and the Sun on the Winter Solstice. I happen to agree with the symbolic womb interpretation. No aliens. Just, human Astronomers. I find it extremely interesting, how their homes were built. Really cool human engineering.

There is a breed of dogs (great dane, bulldog) that is called "dogge" in German. In some German dialects that is pronounced like "doggae". Which seems reasonably similar to the Old English word "docga".

Fun Fact: The etymological relationship between "Dogon" and "doggone". One of my college professors pulled me aside and clued me in because I bought him beer and he recognized what a street smart stud I was. Some called me the Vanilla Ice of Commas.

Did Michio Kaku actually sign off on this, or have they used his interview out of context? He didn't seem that into ancient aliens before.

Also, a rock containing organic compounds and nitrogen would not freak out a scientist. It might as well be a petrified turd.

"But this tud could be from aliens, Im guessing over 5,000 years old."

Real the Sirius Mystery long ago. They even made a cheesy TV special out of it back in the day. It's very bas science, and not terribly compelling science fiction.

English words for things like Dragon might sound like other words, but it doesn't mean the languages were at all related. It can mean there was some correlation, but usually no.

Also the Chinese revered dragons while the English disliked them, and they were villains.

Are the show people implying that other humans are not from this planet? Seems kind of racist for them to suggest the tribe or the other cultures aren't human somehow.

I didn't watch the show, nor did I read the article I come here for the wonderful comments.

I feel like I should chime in here though as I'm a graduate of what used to be the Geology Department (now Department of Earth and Space Sciences) at the Univ. of Washington and I am acquainted with Peter Ward. I suspect his interview was seriously fucked with as he is a gifted scientist and author. I doubt he was particularly amazed by the rock, whatever it is - prob a meteorite as noted above.

The NOVA version of the 1970s documentary "The Case of the Ancient Astronauts" was about 15 minutes shorter than the BBC version,

The BBC version had an ending that was omitted from the American NOVA version.

The ending showed an astronomer sending a radio signal to the star Sirius, to evoke a response, if intelligent life lived there.

There was no response to the radio signal with the astronomer concluding "Right, that's the end of this story. We can't go any further".

The BBC version of "The Case of The Ancient Astronauts" was never released on video and the only versions available are pirated video-to-dvd stuff of the edited NOVA version (over 10 minutes shorter than the BBC version).

There are no transcripts of the BBC documentary.

One might also express shock that the Japanese word "Pan" パン (Bread) was introduced by Portuguese missionaries (and comes from a Latin root word). AFAIK.

Or, possibly related to the fact that the Big Dipper is also called the SaucePAN, meaning aliens from there visited both the Iberian Peninsula and Japan.

Similar to the resident Coma, Coma Comedians, AA lacks imagination. They have even stolen storylines from "The Six Million Dollar Man". IF, they actually had any imagination, certain similarities would be expounded upon, and the show would seem less like "Groundhog Day".

The show claims the word, "Annunaki" is "Native American for 'Ant People'". People who came out of the ground. The builders of NewGrange lived underground. As well as residents of ancient Turkey, China, Malta, and alleged underground complexes beneath the Temple Mount, Baalbek, and Mecca. One of my Docs claimed, "the Roman catacombs were originally an underground city converted, and expanded for the dead." This could lead to a show about Ancient Preppers. I know there are other ancient underground cities in other places. I have just listed a few.

In one episode, Giorgio Tsoukalos holds up a jade head found in a recently discovered underground city in China. The head, sort of resembles a gremlin from the movie, "Gremlins". He declares it to be a depiction of an alien. What frizzle top fails to realize, the Jade head looks like a Kelly, Kentucky alien. This one similarity could lead to a whole new show. New bullshit instead of recycled bullshit.

Ancient Alien producers could take my two paragraphs, and make at least five shows out of them. That is about half a season, based upon details the show has already overlooked.

The Mystery of the Copper Scroll of Qumran, Born In Blood, Freemasonry and the Birth of Modern Science, The Knights Templar of the Middle East, The Templars Secret Island, The Templar Treasure At Gisors, Christopher Columbus the Last Templar, The Lost Colony of the Templars, Sacred Sites of the Knights Templar, Templars in America, The Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar, The Knights Templar in the New World, The Templar Meridians, The Templar Please, The Book of Hiram, Uriel's Machine, The Hiram Key. Mathematics From the Birth of Numbers. Plus, 5 blogs and numerous links.
I will normally read Stellar Theology & Masonic Astronomy at least once a week, however, my copy has disappeared.

I don't throw people under the bus. Dead, or living. Many conversations occurred in the library, or after class. This is when professors opened up and discussed ideas which, would otherwise get them fired. I can't see too many professors keeping their job after discussing Behold, A Pale Horse in class. I actually learned of this book from one of my professors.

You alluded to Uriel's Machine on January 8 and March 30 of this year which fuels my quite reasonable belief that you use the word "read" where most people would use the words "saw" or "thought of". Even if true you've presented the reading list of a mental patient which is of course no surprise. Oooh though! You also read FIVE blogs and "links".
