French anthropologist Marcel Griaule studied the Dogon people of Mali from 1931-1956. He learned that every 60 years, the Dogon celebrate the eclipse of the star Sirius and its satellite (NOT visible to the human eye). The event is called Sigui. For thousands of years, the Dogon have known many cosmological facts including the rings of Saturn and moons of Jupiter.
