The Master of Speech deciphers the ancient mythology of the Dogon, an isolated African tribe who live along a 200-kilometre stretch of escarpment called the Cliffs of Bandiagara near Timbuktu. The French anthropologist Griaule recorded the Dogon mythology in 1947 in his book, Conversations with Ogotemmêli.
The Dogon had knowledge of the triple star Sirius system that was told to Griaule long before modern astronomers discovered the third star in the system in 1995. The Dogon told Griaule they had obtained their knowledge from amphibious beings who came to Earth from the Sirius star system.
After extensive analysis of this mythology, Dorey reveals that these alien beings called Nummo were responsible for human creation through genetic engineering. She further proves that their contact with the Earth resulted in the evolution of most of the world's major religions. The Master of Speech focuses on the connections between paganism, Christianity, and the Greek and Egyptian mythologies. It reveals the connection of the Zodiac to this mythology and refers to the destruction of the Earth as told in Plato's Timeas relating to Atlantis. It talks about the human unconscious and our relationship to time and immortality.
The information presented in this book will be disturbing for some individuals. The facts however speak for themselves. This is a must read for anyone wanting to come to terms with the truth about the beginning of human existence.

Chapter 1
Ogotemmêli
I first became aware of the Dogon while doing research. The web site I was reading contained published information about the 1995 discovery of a red dwarf star in the Sirius star system. Two French astronomers, Daniel Benest and J. L. Duvent, conducted extensive research and concluded that a small, red-dwarf star seemed to exist in the Sirius star system. The astronomers had detected a perturbation in the orbit that couldn’t be explained by any other means. This star has since been identified as Sirius C.
According to the web site, the religion of the Dogon tribe was centered on the Sirius star system. This information about the red-dwarf star had been told to the French anthropologist Marcel Griaule and another anthropologist, Germaine Dieterlen, sometime between 1931 and 1950. The Dogon had told the anthropologists they had received their knowledge from visitors who came to Earth from another star system.
The Dogon also talked about another star known today as Sirius B. This star is invisible to the eye and so difficult to observe, even through a telescope, that no photographs were taken of it until 1970. Sirius B is a white dwarf star that is small and faint but extremely dense and heavy, which is why it exerts an influence on Sirius.
The star’s existence was first suspected in 1844 because of irregularities identified in the movement of Sirius. Astronomers at the time determined that a second star must be causing the irregularity, and the star in question was finally detected in 1862.
The web site went on to discuss the Dogon’s description of this star.
…the Dogon name for Sirius B (Po Tolo) consists of the word for star (tolo) and ‘po,’ the name of the smallest seed known to them. By this name they describe the star’s smallness -- it is, they say, ‘the smallest thing there is.’ They also claim that it is ‘the heaviest star,’ and white. The Dogon thus attribute to Sirius B its three principle properties as a white dwarf: small, heavy and white.
They go on to say that it has an elliptical orbit with Sirius A at one foci of the ellipse (as it is), that the orbital period is 50 years (the actual figure is 50.04 +/- 0.09 years), and that the star rotates on its own axis (it does).
The Dogon also had knowledge of Saturn’s rings, and Jupiter’s four major moons. They said their astronomical knowledge had been given to them by the Nummo, amphibious beings sent to Earth from Sirius for the benefit of humanity. These amphibious beings were said to be more fishlike than human and had to live in water.
Another web site, FS Ancient Mystery News, also reported on the Nummo and told how “these aliens came from the Sirian star system, and their ‘spaceship arrived from the sky and landed with great noise and wind, on three legs. After the landing, something with four legs appeared and dragged the vessel to a hollow, which filled with water until the vessel floated….’”
It was this information about the Dogon that inspired me to track down Marcel Griaule’s book, Conversations with Ogotemmêli. Griaule recorded the Dogon religion at a time when the Dogon were one of the last people in Africa to come under French rule. Prior to then, the isolated Dogon had maintained their own beliefs and religious practices. Because the Dogon had been secluded, they were considered by the Europeans to be the most backward race in the whole region and the best example of “primitive savagery” known to the world. According to Griaule, Muslim Africans couldn’t understand the Dogon any better than the Europeans and also shared this view.
Griaule established his relationship with the Dogon people during field trips which began in 1931. After years of questioning the Dogon elders about their religion, Griaule was finally admitted to the Dogon religion’s innermost teachings. The Dogon elder Ogotemmêli was chosen to present the secret knowledge to Griaule. This was done in thirty-three days, which began in October of 1946.
Ogotemmêli was considered one of the most powerful minds on the Cliffs of Bandiagara in Mali where the Dogon lived. Ogotemmêli’s grandfather had initiated him into the mysteries of the Dogon religion when he was fifteen and after his grandfather had died his father had taken over the instruction. According to Griaule, Ogotemmêli’s total initiation had gone on for more than twenty years.
It was because of Ogotemmêli, that Griaule recorded the religion so accurately. Because it is a mystery religion, the Dogon religion can only be fully understood by identifying the repetition in its symbolic patterns. Without the symbolic consistency, it would have been impossible for me or any other researcher to decipher it. When the religion was created, its continuity was established through its symbolism rather than through its chronology. It appears as if the religion was deliberately created this way to protect it from outside influence. Without the consistency of the symbols, the religion’s meaning would have been lost. My research indicates the Dogon religion was one of the mystery pagan religions thought to have been lost to humanity.
The unique structure of this religion suggests it was created in an oral culture. This is why it has been so difficult for researchers to understand it. Because we live in a written culture, its symbolic composition is foreign to our way of thinking. The fact it took someone as intelligent as Ogotemmêli over twenty years to learn his own religion attests to its complexity. It is not an easy mythology to understand, but I believe it is without a doubt the most significant mythology recorded to date.
It is because the Dogon insisted on clinging to their traditions that the truth about human existence has been preserved for us. The ancient stories told by Ogotemmêli had been passed on from generation to generation throughout the ages. My research indicates it is the oldest and most complete source document known to history. In his book, Conversations with Ogotemmêli, Griaule admitted he didn’t really understand a lot of the religion he recorded and conveyed to the world. He simply told it as Ogotemmêli had told it to him. This is one of the reasons why his record is so significant. It is a historical account free of personal bias.
Another important aspect of the account is that Ogotemmêli was blind. He was one-eyed from childhood and became totally blind later in life as a result of an accident. Everything he told Griaule came from history and his memory. Nothing was influenced by visual changes that might have occurred in the Dogon village.
Careful analysis of this mythology shows that it is the key source from which other religions, including Christianity, have evolved. It provides us with the sought-after missing link and answers to questions that have plagued humanity since the beginning of time. Historians, psychologists, anthropologist, and other researchers will find the information presented here invaluable to their own understanding of our past.
