ABSTRACT:
The mystery of the African people of the Dogon has for years been the subject of keen interest for its fascinating and enigmatic astral knowledge of the star system of Sirius, which also extends to the symbols of the "primordial tradition" and in particular to the Egyptian one. Ritual masks play a fundamental role in the Dogon creation myth, a tool for checking reality and a "door" between the everyday world and the extra-human world, through which the powers of the invisible descend that preside over the destinies of the ethnic group and the indigenous universe .
