Thank you for your input! You are correct that Sirius B is a white dwarf, which evolved from a red giant. The fascinating part is how the Dogon tribe, with their ancient traditions, had detailed knowledge of Sirius B without access to modern telescopes. To provide more context, the process of a star like Sirius B evolving into a white dwarf involves several stages and occurs over billions of years. Sirius B, which started as a main-sequence star, expanded into a red giant after exhausting the hydrogen in its core. This red giant phase lasted around 1 billion years. Eventually, the star shed its outer layers, leaving behind the hot, dense core we now see as a white dwarf. Astronomers estimate that Sirius B became a white dwarf approximately 120 million years ago. Therefore, the Dogon would not have witnessed this transformation in recent history. The intriguing aspect is how the Dogon tribe knew about this white dwarf and its properties, passed down through generations. Their knowledge remains a compelling subject for researchers, highlighting the intricate astronomical understanding ancient civilizations could possess. As a reminder, this is a mythology channel, and while we share these fascinating stories, they should not necessarily be taken literally. However, we respect all interpretations, whether literal or metaphorical, and encourage open discourse and conversation about these topics. Your thoughts and insights are always welcome! Have a great day ❤️❤️
Absolutely, they are truly fascinating! The Dogon tribe's knowledge of Sirius B and their cultural heritage continue to intrigue and amaze many people. Thank you for taking the time to respond and for sharing your thoughts! We really hope to see more of you across the channel 😁😁 thank you for your engagement. ❤️❤️
@MythMinimus I confess I was busy when I saw this video and didn't give you the attention you obviously deserved. I appreciate your kindness to me and your open mindedness. The 120 million years is deceptive all we can for sure is it's been a white dwarf for at least 5k years. If word of mouth for 10k years is all it is, that's amazing in itself. I subbed you after your first response and I will definitely give you a listen.
