VV(18): Sirius

[Christian KUmpe]

Egyptologist Jan Assmann says, that Egypt as a literary topos, was used for
visions of (earthly) paradise, even back in classic greece and ever since.
Therefor we have at least 2000 years of a cultural history of an imaginary
Egypt. Aside of some "real" egyptian tradition. Of course Sirius is a prominent
item in this imaginary world. 
M&D obviously needed some masonic backdrops. So, talkin of astronomers, why
not get some sirius magic? 

Read you,

Christian

P.S.
All the Sirius freaks recommend Robert Temple´s book, The Sirius Mystery. I
haven´t read it yet. Of course the french anthroplogists (Germaine Dieterlen
and the rest of the survivor´s of Griaules Team, who did all the fieldwork on
the Dogon) produced later ön some simple astronomic explanation for the
Dogon´s knowledge of Sirius B. A sort of Nova about 2000 years ago.
