| 1489476 | 2022-11-28 23:00:00 | They are a tribe from South Africa that had no contact with civilisation but yet they had the knowledge of the star Sirius B which cannot been seen by the naked eye. They had no telescope so how did they even know that it was there? Intriguing. www.historicmysteries.com |

| 1489478 | 2022-11-29 02:22:00 | They are from Mali not South Africa. I seem to remember that this was boiled down to being due to missionaries in the middle part of the 18th century who had a knowledge of astronomy living with the tribe to covert them to Christianity somehow passing on the knowledge of the dark Sirius star twin to them during the time they were there. However can't find anything on Google so maybe I imagined/dreamed that I had read it. |

| 1489482 | 2022-11-30 05:26:00 | Well since Sirius is the dog star they were probably barked the information by African wild dogs | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1489483 | 2022-12-08 04:42:00 | A/: Their trees are riddled with bark, they frequently bark their shins, they couldn't spell barque, half the adult population spend a reasonable amount of time in the doghouse so they attributed it all to their invisible dog friend in the sky. or - B/: They Googled it, just like anybody else. ;) ;) |
