The Nummo: The Truth About Human Origins

by Shannon Dorey

A great deal of time has been spent by all of us looking for answers. This is because we are all aware that something is missing from our existence. Shannon Dorey ’s book, The Nummo, reveals just how much of the truth has been lost to us and how new realities have been manufactured that sadly most people believe in today.

Dorey ’s research shows that because of their isolation on the Cliffs of the Bandiagara escarpment in Mali, Africa, the Dogon were able to preserve the truth right up until the 1930s. This has not been the case in other areas of the world where the truth had been stamped out by such groups as the Inquisition, the Roman Catholic Church and the early Jewish fathers. The ancient stories told by the Dogon had been passed on from generation to generation throughout the ages. The unique structure of this religion reveals that it was created in an oral culture.

The Dogon talked about alien beings known as Nummo who came to Earth from another star system. These fish and serpent like beings were hermaphrodites who spent more time in water than on land. While they were on land they moved like serpents on their long thin bodies. Dorey presents examples of how these amphibious aliens appeared all over the ancient world. Dorey reveals how the Dogon religion is the core religion from which other religions including Judaism and Christianity have evolved. She shows how the Dogon religion appears in the Arthurian Legends and how Dogon symbols have been used by the Masonic Society since the formation of the early Guilds. She reveals how the Dogon religion is connected with the Merovingians, the myths associated with Mary Magdalene, and the Book of Kells.

Dorey believes that the Dogon religion is important to the world because it is so complex that anyone studying it can see that the truth has always existed there. It is not something that was recently manufactured to provide a science fiction spin to reality. This is a must read for anyone wanting to turn back time and discover the roots of human civilization.

About the author

Shannon Dorey (born 1955) is a Canadian author best known for her research on the African Dogon people. She is a graduate of Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada with a combined English and History degree. Her interests were expanded to religious studies after studying the New Testament at the University of Windsor in 1991.
Based on the work of ethnographers Marcel Griaule and Germaine Dieterlen, Dorey has written four books analyzing the symbols found in the Dogon religion. In The Master of Speech, published in 2002, Dorey associated the Dogon symbols with genetics and biological engineering. In The Nummo, published in 2004, Dorey hypothesized that the Dogon religion was an extremely ancient oral tradition with traces of it found in most ancient religions of the world. In Day of the Fish, published in 2012, she compared the Nummo, described by the Dogon elder Ogotemmêli, to the goddesses of the Neolithic period as defined by the Lithuanian-American archeologist, Marija Gimbutas. In 2016, Dorey published The Rose, associating Dogon symbols with knowledge about red giant stars and other aspects of astrophysics.
Dorey has written numerous articles on the Dogon religion including one for New Dawn magazine in 2010, which compared the Australian Rainbow Serpent to the Dogon Nummo, who were also described as being rainbow serpents.
Dorey continues her research uncovering the Dogon oral symbols embedded in the documents recorded by Griaule and Dieterlen.
