Modern science claims that the universe was formed as a result of the Big Bang. Before him, all matter was compressed to an incredible density and occupied an infinitely small volume. Since the Big Bang (about 13 billion years ago), there has been a continuous expansion of the Universe, the so-called recession of galaxies.
And here is how the formation of the Universe took place according to the ancient legends of the Dogons (pictured below) - a mysterious ancient tribe that lives in Mali (Africa).
“At the beginning of all things was Amma - God who did not rest on anything. Amma was a ball, an egg, and this egg was closed. Apart from him, nothing existed."
In the modern language of the Dogon, the word "amma" means something immovable, strongly compressed and very dense.
“The world inside Amma was still without time and space. Time and space have merged into a single whole. " But then “Amma opened his eyes. At the same time, his thought came out of the spiral, which, whirling in his womb, marked the future growth of the world. " According to Dogon legends, the modern "world is endless, but it can be measured." This formulation is very similar to Einstein's theory of relativity.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is called by the Dogon the "boundary of place". “The boundary of a place denotes one part of the starry world, a part of which is our Earth, and this whole world is spinning in a spiral. Amma created an infinite number of stellar worlds in the form of a spiral. As we know, most galaxies have exactly the shape of a spiral.
Also, the Dogon from time immemorial are sure that Sirius has two satellites with certain periods of revolution. Astronomers have found that this is the case. The Dogon claim that the closest satellite of Sirius is made of a metal called sogolu. One grain of it "weighs the same as four hundred and eighty donkey packs." In 1862, astronomer Clarke discovered the so-called Sirius B with a density fifty thousand times that of water. A matchbox of such a substance would weigh a ton.
It turns out that the Dogon have since ancient times scientific knowledge that scientists have learned quite recently.
