You are about 2,000 years off on that mask. It is closer to 700-1000 C.E.

Well, that particular mask is Peruvian, from a people called the Sican. They weren't around for long, but they sure did like their gold.

If they do find the 3rd star would you change your mind about the Dogon?
I'm a little skeptical of the skeptics in the case. Griaule spent years with the Dogon, he even had a 30+ consequetive day session with the Dogon wiseman where he learned as much as he could about the Dogon and their history and traditions. I can't find information anywhere about how much time Van Beek spent with the Dogon, or who he spoke to in the tribe.
It could be the difference between talking to the CIA Director or the guy who mops the crappers, or a tourist comparing themself to someone who lives there.

Marcel Griaule was an anthropologist, if he had been an astronomer I could see it. And while he may have had astronomy classes sometime during his education I don't see why he would be up on fringe theories of Astronomy.

I'd love to know the origin of these pieces.
Between this stuff and father Crespi's collection they raise a lot of questions.
I'm keeping an open mind.
We now know that blue planets like ours are not all that rare, and with our galaxy being as young as it is there could easily be civilizations that are millions of years ahead of us tech wise.
It is believe that the relics were found somewhere in Mesoamerica over 150 years ago when a native farm worker spotted a strange object hovering near a mountain and with astonishment he watch the object land and observed 7 strange creatures appeared from the hovering object and removed a heavy stone from the mountain without touching it. These seven creatures entered the cave in the mountain and after several hours they departed the mountain site. Immediately this native farm worker informed his boss of this strange occurrence and immediately they set out to investigate this strange phenomena at the mountain site and after several weeks of excavation, and to their amazement they found a deep cave within this mountain. At this site, my client's ancestors found a large collection of relics with strange messages engraved. The land where the antiquities where found as well as the relics were inherited by the owner of these relics and over a year ago he finally decided to scientifically test these relics and bring them out for public display. His collection was transported to the United States in 1963.

Wow..
After having read that, I am more confident than ever that every piece is a forgery. These men want fame and money and will do everything in their power to achieve it.
If this guy is a 'Doctor' of anything, he understands the value of peer reviewed research, something that is completely lacking in any claim he is making.
Nothing more to see here, folks.
The claim that these pieces are 4500-6000 years old is laughable.
