<p>> I have a hypothesis, which incorporates the fact that the Dogon were not reported to have such knowledge until the 1930s, well after the discovery of Sirius B.<p>That's not a fact, because there are several sources / individuals that dispute this claim.<p>> A bit of searching is coming up short, beyond a claim about shackles on the ankles of a Roman statue of Saturn (the god) symbolizing the rings; I find this less convincing than the idea that they symbolize shackles (the ones with which he was bound in Tartaros).<p>Well you're pretty terrible at searching the internet then, considering I can type  Sumerian saturn symbolism into any image search engine and find a plethora of examples.</p>

<p>Not observed and yet depicted in symbolism by different cultures dating back to Babylon. Quite the mystery indeed... I'm sure you have an explanation for how the Dogon tribe knew more about the Sirius star system than we did until relatively recently as well.<p>It's quite egotistical and foolish to assume we're more advanced and know more than our ancient ancestors, or that what is written in our history books is objective truth.<p>In fact, even scholars have suggested that Babylonians could and did observe at least one of Saturn's rings - <a href="https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_query?bibcode=2010Obs...130...89J&db_key=AST&page_ind=0&data_type=GIF&type=SCREEN_VIEW&classic=YES" rel="nofollow">https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_que...</a></p>

<p>Yes, the kabba is also a nod to Saturn (which is why I said all Abrahamic religions incorporate some Saturn worship into them), and the people walking around the kabba make the rings of Saturn (if you employ some time-lapse photography of them walking around, it's quite obvious). Saturn has a hexagonal shaped storm on its north pole (and the all-seeing eye on its south pole). If you collapse a cube into two dimensions, you get a hexagon.</p>

<p>Besides bloggers / youtubers who have written / talked about this, there's a single news story returned by Google, which I sourced. If there were other articles to source from, I would have. Given that our internet was created by DARPA and has always been under the control of intelligence agencies / governments, it's not shocking that there aren't a plethora of sources regarding Facebook emerging from DARPA.</p>

<p>Oh yes, because intelligence agencies are known for broadcasting their moves to everyone.<p>I can guarantee you believe in a lot of things that you have no actual evidence of happening - just some perceived authority figure you trust for whatever reason, telling you it happened.<p>Also -<p>WHYY.org has received support through NewsMatch partner funds, which often includes contributions from large technology firms like Facebook (Meta) to support local journalism.

<p>Do you require everything you read to spell out everything for you point blank? Are you unable to connect dots?<p>The DARPA lifelog project ended the day Facebook was announced by a college dropout no one had ever heard of before. Facebook just happened to have the exact same goals / features as the lifelog project. Must just be a giant coincidence huh?</p>

<p>Have you ever considered that once a disease is cured, the industry can no longer profit off of it being a disease? Treating disease rather than curing it, is a much more profitable venture.<p>How is there money to be had in curing HIV? It seems to me like it's much more profitable to continue selling expensive HIV treatments rather than curing the disease. Once a patient is cured, they no longer need to pay for expensive treatments.</p>
