Centuries before NASA,
they mapped a star invisible to the human eye. ????✨
The Dogon people of Mali knew the secrets of the Sirius star system
long before Western astronomers claimed discovery.
They spoke of Sirius B — its orbit, density, and movement —
without telescopes, satellites, or modern tools.
So here’s the Hmm moment:
What if Africa wasn’t behind science…
but ahead of it?
The Dogon remind us that our ancestors blended science, spirituality,
and storytelling into one sacred understanding of the universe.
They didn’t just study the stars —
they remembered where they came from.
Because when you know your origins are cosmic,
you move with purpose.
You dream without limits.
You reclaim genius as inheritance — not exception.
✨ You didn’t come from nothing.
You came from the stars.
Because five minutes a day keeps the miseducation away.
Stay curious. Stay consistent.
And keep learning what they tried to bury.
