Dogon Cosmology

Dogon cosmology is the traditional belief system of the Dogon people of Mali, emphasizing a universe interconnected through spiritual forces. They understand the cosmos as rooted in a creator god, Amma, and interpret celestial events through complex mythologies, particularly concerning the Sirius star system. Their knowledge includes detailed descriptions of stars and planets long before astronomical tools confirmed such facts, reflecting a rich cultural and spiritual interpretation of the universe. Their cosmology integrates their entire worldview, linking human existence, nature, and the divine into a cohesive spiritual cosmos.
