The Dogon say that there are six planets which are inhabited with conscious beings within our galaxy. One planet of particular interest is Nommo.
Dogon mythology says that Nommo was the first living creature created by the sky god Amma. Shortly after his creation, Nommo underwent a transformation and multiplied into four pairs of twins. One of the twins rebelled against the universal order created by Amma. To restore order to his creation, Amma sacrificed another of the Nommo progeny, whose body was dismembered and scattered throughout the universe. This dispersal of body parts is seen by the Dogon as the source for the proliferation of Binu shrines throughout the Dogons’ traditional territory; wherever a body part fell, a shrine was erected.
The Dogon described these extra-terrestrial beings from Nommo as aquatic or amphibious fish-like or dolpin-like individuals. They had pointed teeth and breathed air through holes near their clavicles. They had arms but no elbow joints. They were said to have come to visit ancient humans, from Sirius C in a ‘new star’ (or spaceship?) with fire coming out of it.
The people from Nommo, also referred to as Nommo, have now become deities worshiped by the Dogon. The word Nommo is derived from a Dogon word meaning “to make one drink.” The Nommo are usually symbolized as hermaphroditic, fish-like creatures. Folk art depictions of the Nommos show creatures with humanoid upper torsos, legs/feet, and a fish-like lower torso and tail. The Nommo are also referred to as “Masters of the Water”, “the Monitors”, and “the Teachers”. Nommo can be a proper name of an individual, or can refer to the group of spirits as a whole.
The Nommo were mainly benevolent and it is thought they originally arrived on Earth to help humans by teaching them how to grow crops etc. They were looked upon as messengers from the god Ammu (or Amun). There were however, some ‘fallen angels’ or malevolent Nommo who wanted to cause trouble. One is known as the white fox or ‘Ogo’. The fox is thought to have supernatural powers and its tracks are used as a method of divination.
Dogon legend has it that one day the Nommo will return to Earth.
I believe I might be part Nommo.
This is very interesting and a credible story especially since we’ve those tales about mermaids have been surfacing in stories. Now we know where these visions first originated–with the Dogon people–and have made their way into other narratives ever since. Maybe this can be the salvation of the human species, because right now it looks like we surely need it.
And the current theory of the existence of parrell universes seems to fit in with this concept. For believers of Islam, the Islamic text references 7 heavens (universes). So our universe and the “six other” universes mentioned above fits right in. Sad that the average African will dismiss these as folklore/superstition instead of researching further.
The theory of the existence of parallel universes ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/04/parallel-universes-quantum-mechanics-theory_n_6091438.html ) currently being debated seems to fit in well with the Dogon concept. The Islamic text references “7 Heavens” (interpreted to mean other universes), including our own, which further alludes to this concept. Shame that in Africa we easily cast out such claims as folk tales or superstition instead of investing in research
