Thats actually not the case. I suggest you contact one of the Dogon Schools. It is an integral part of their culture.

So why isnt this in the ludicrous online lies forum?
I've seen you say two things that are true, and they prove nothing else you claim about a binary companion for our sun.

Why should it be. ?
the ideas tossed around by Warmkessel, Martell, Cruttenden, LUCAS, and others are pretty much falsified based on absolutely no data to back up their ideas, or the only data coming from data mining, cherry-picking, and ignoring some basic facts.

It's true that there are a lot of binary stars though it's difficult to calculate an exact percentage, but even if your 80% figure of binary stars is correct, that still leaves 20% of stars not in binary systems, so saying "most stars are binary", while true, proves nothing about the other 20% which aren't (if those figures are even correct).
We have searched for a binary companion to our sun, and the search has not revealed a binary companion, so claiming the sun is part of a binary star has no scientific evidence to support it. The only mainstream idea I've seen on this which could make some sense is the possibility that our sun could have had a binary partner long ago (like over 4 billion years ago perhaps), and the two were separated by interaction with a massive object. There's no real evidence for this either, it's conjecture based on the idea that "most stars are in binary systems" which is scientifically valid, and that our sun is no longer in a binary system if it ever was, also scientifically valid based on observation. If that happened, the star which was once a companion to our sun could be tens of thousands of light years away by now, and would be nearly impossible to identify as the sun's long lost binary companion. Another possibility might be if something was flawed about our search for a binary companion to our sun, but you've provided no evidence for that, or that you're even aware of the search (discussed in the podcast below) which would have found a binary companion for the sun if one existed.
The other "evidence" cited comes from unreliable sources which are addressed in this podcast from the pseudoastronomy site (fake astronomy), and the thread is based on fake astronomy so ludicrous online lies forum would be a good fit for this thread in my opinion.
Episode 91: The Binary Star Hypothesis
the ideas tossed around by Warmkessel, Martell, Cruttenden, LUCAS, and others are pretty much falsified based on absolutely no data to back up their ideas, or the only data coming from data mining, cherry-picking, and ignoring some basic facts.
The sun being part of a binary system isn't a crazy idea, but the hypothesis has been tested and falsified via lack of evidence, so to still claim it's in a binary system with no valid scientific evidence is pretty much a ludicrous lie.
One other thing purplemer said that's true was something about galaxy rotation curves being non-Newtonian. That's true based on visible light, but the earth is not made of visible light, nor is other dark matter which is part of the lambda-CDM cosmological model, which accounts for observations like galaxy rotation curves not following newtons' laws based on visible light by assuming there is dark matter we can't see that accounts for galaxy rotation curves. That model is based more on general relativity than on Newton's laws, but applying lambda-CDM model is not going to magically give the sun a binary partner where Newton's laws didn't. Newton's laws are a simplified version of general relativity which apply in limited cases like our sun and the surrounding solar system pretty well, but for some precise observations like the precession of mercury, Einstein's relativity model turns out to make more accurate predictions, so you could also say mercury's precession is non-Newtonian. Newtons' model works pretty well for most everything else orbiting our sun.

Of course its Kemtic look at the symbolism. This symbolism is Kemtic and found in other cultures with apparent no connection.
The "sun gate through the Apis bull horns" certainly isn't from Egypt. I don't know where it's from, but it's not Egyptian.
The modern "Dogon schools" probably teach it... just as a lot of things are taught to tourists because of a demand for that "knowledge." I've seen it myself among Native Americans who go along with the Caucasian culture's interpretation of something because it brought money-making tourists to them (I have a Native American friend who has a series of long rants about this destroying their culture.)
However, historically the Dogons didn't have "schools" and didn't teach Sirius or other such things.
sacred Kemetic educational system, from the original Pharaonic Nile valley civilization was cleverly hidden through Kemetic/Dogon, spiritual initiations. These initiations take place within humble villages in Meritah (Original name for Africa) under the protection of the Dogon Bloodlines.
The sun being part of a binary system isn't a crazy idea, but the hypothesis has been tested and falsified via lack of evidence, so to still claim it's in a binary system with no valid scientific evidence is pretty much a ludicrous lie.
So look directly above your head on the first of January and you will see Sirius. Not where I live. Do you live at latitude 16º north? At what time of day did you see it directly overhead?
Time today is run by Greenwich Mean Time, it is the only place that has local time that was followed a couple of centuries ago in England, and was changed because train timetables that spread across the world with rounded off Time Zones, but by the Gregorian Calendar we follow today we can see what was put in place, Sirius is culminating at precise minute of New Year.
The other "evidence" cited comes from unreliable sources
For instance, the stars aren't important to the Dogon in ritual or in daily life-- they use the sun and the moon.
Most strikingly is the Dogon's traditional agrarian/ social-type calendar. Actually, it's quite non-traditional in that its approximately 60 year cycle is based neither on the Earth's rotation around the Sun (as is our Julian calendar) nor the cycles of the Moon (a lunar calendar). Instead, the Dogon culture centers around the rotation cycle of a white dwarf star (in Western astronomy called Sirius B) sirius jpgwhich encircles the primary star Sirius A every 50 - 60 years. Sirius A
Dogon males were primarily associated with the single-sexed male Jackal and the Sigui festival, which was associated with death on the Earth. It was held once every sixty years and allegedly celebrated the white dwarf star, Sirius
(fake astronomy), and the thread is based on fake astronomy so ludicrous online lies forum would be a good fit for this thread in my opinion.

ll these people still remember this glorious past as evidenced by many customs and legends evoking the ancient gods from Alcor, Orion, Sirius and the Pleiades. Among them were the Yoruba.
Oludumare is not a “he” or a “she.” The only appropriate pronoun here is “it” because Oludumare is a genderless being who is responsible for all creation. It lives in a heavenly realm, far from its creation. Yet it has holy messengers who help to intercede between the Almighty and Mankind itself. These messengers are spirits called “Orishas.” In Yoruba you must believe and interact with the Orishas to reach God Consciousness.
The star Yoonir, symbol of the Universe in Serer cosmology. Commonly known as Sirius.
The Neolithic site of Burzahom is a story teller of life between 3,000 and 1,000 BC. It is known for its unique subterranean dwelling pits, unusual petroglyphs, including one that appears to depict two suns
An interesting discovery made at Burzahom was a carved stone slab that shows two hunters hunting a stag, while twin suns shine in the sky
Jack Parsons,Crowley and Kubrick had more knowledge of what is going on in the welkin than most ! Science can only observe while the esoteric occultist knows through magic with empirical science being the analogy of the subjective mind !
The gematria of Aster Argos is 489, also the value of Sothis, the Greek name for the star Sirius. Eshelman states that "Sirius commonly is held to be the physical expression of that "Silver Star" after which the Order is named."
we wouldn't have a stable solar system IF a rogue star came flying through the area every few thousand years...
The Milankovitch Cycles are the results of studying past global climate changes over millions of years. One of the causes in climate change is precession of the equinoxes, which seems to have a period of 22,000 to 23,000 years, over millions of years.

This has been a cool and interesting discussion. A lot of stuff to read.
Personally I don't know anything about it, nor do I want to know. I live my life believing that there are some things we're not meant to know. I am ok with that. I still don't understand what the big cover up is though. I mean there are 20 pages of links and information about this, that's a cover up? Anyway, I love the night sky and the stars and I'm lucky enough to live in a place that is very dark so unless it's cloudy, I see them all, and it's amazing! I make sure to catch the planets as they come in and out of my view. I don't question it, I marvel at it and I enjoy the mystery.
My response here contributed nothing to the topic, but I wanted to chime in anyway
Thanks again! I enjoyed reading and looking at the images!
