if i'm not mistaken, the dogon people originated from egypt several thousands of years ago. some of the traditions they still upheld from around the time era and culture of king tutankhamen. there are so many african tribes that i may be mixing them up with another, but i believe it was the dogon. awesome to see historical preservation in action
much thanks for sharing this

This video really help piece together the puzzel of
our history. In Trinidad we have ppl dancing on stilts called
moka jumbie. Also the costumes the dogon wear remind me
of our masqueradas. Even the dances they are doing look similar
to the fancy sailor dance. De ppl even knockin iron boy... lol... I wonder if
my ancestors where from this region in Africa? Great video!!!

Check out the Garifuna people of the Americas and see how very simular they are. These people are the decendants of the Dogon tribe who are also the decendants of the Olmecs. Archeologist are currently teaching their students that there are no correlation between the two which is blasphemous in my opinion but the facts are the facts. Let's work together to put the pieces back together. Thanks for this beautiful video.
