The Dogon and the Sotian calendar

However, on the same US soil, the native Amerindians also live within the reserves have a lot to tell about it, and after decades of silence they opened up with author Ardy Sixkiller Clarke, who has collected their testimonies in some books, including "The return of the Star Peoples", recently translated into Italian by Venexia Editrice.

cover: โ€œThe creation of the Sun, the Moon and the starsโ€, ca. 1250-1260


The cycle of articles dedicated to sacred astronomy by Andrea Casella continues. In this appointment and in the one that will follow, the author focuses on the soteriology of the Christian Gospels, identifying the referencesย
