The Dogon say their
astronomical knowledge was given to them by the Nommos,
amphibious beings sent to earth from
Sirius for the benefit of mankind.
The name comes from a Dogon word meaning
"to make one drink," and the Nommos are also called Masters of
the
Water, the
Monitors, and the Teachers.
The Nommos were more fishlike than human, and had to live in water. They were saviors and spiritual guardians: "The Nommo divided his body among men to feed them; that is why it is also said that as the universe "had drunk of his body," the Nommo also made men drink. He gave all his life principles to human beings."
The Nommo was crucified and resurrected and
in the future will again visit the earth, this time in human
form. Later he will assume his amphibious form and will rule the
world from the waters.
Nommo is represented
in a fish form, the early Christian fish (vesica piscis).-
