As the pair sat at the dining room table, eating Provencale Chicken, Dr Mallard began to explain to Jimmy just exactly his ideas and of course those of his Aunt.

"As we were saying earlier today about the Egyptians and Mayans, but if we go to Egypt, and this is where Aunt Gertrude used to get excited….I will explain. As the land began to settle and of course the air clear, any survivors and their offspring would reappear and look for what they had before, but of course the landscape was changed. The people had to try and remember where they came from, where they were going," Ducky continued.

"But Dr Mallard, Egypt is all desert?" Jimmy wailed.

"Not in the days I am talking about, the land was fertile and green, they had plenty to eat, and probably plenty labour, so they began to rebuild. If the old world had been inhabited by Aliens, then think, and this is where Aunt Gertrude got a tad carried away I think…..In a rocket or old fashioned space ship, what would you say was the survival pod?" Ducky questioned.

"The nose conical….oh Dr Mallard if you put it on its base it looks like a pyramid."

"Exactly, and what if in order to get to the home, to their own world, they couldn't very well stay awake so what if they were placed in…." as Dr Mallard began to indicate thought from Jimmy.

"Suspended animation…..Cryonics…then the aliens going home would appear to be dead. But who would look after the passengers so to speak?" Jimmy now questioned.

"What if I said caretakers in the form of robots…"

"But Dr Mallard, the Egyptians preserved by taking the innards out of the dead."

"But if the "dead" were robots themselves or if the living had, had insides unlike our own, or if their future had enough knowledge to transplant and freeze…." Ducky continued.

"Then the ancient Egyptians, in trying to mummify the dead, were in-fact preserving to be sent back to their ancestors?"

"Yes, Aunt Gertrude always thought so. But here is where my thoughts come into it. As you know the three great pyramids at Giza, are allegedly supposed to mimic the exact three stars of Orion's belt," Ducky began to say, watching as Jimmy nodded, "Well as you know the Great Pyramid has air or light shafts, and it has been discovered that one points up to Sirius, and Sirius is called…"

"The Dog Star….oh Dr. Mallard….where is this leading?"

"When I was younger, I was always wanted to be an archeologist, I wanted to be famous. I volunteered for a dig in Tanzania, in my upper sixth, I just wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do at University, although I enjoyed the experience, it wasn't quite in my bones. You know of course Jimmy, it is believed that modern humans originate from the rift valley region of East Africa, and as well as fossilized hominid remains, archaeologists have uncovered Africa's oldest human settlement in Tanzania."

"I know fascinating, but please Dr Mallard, continue," Jimmy apologised.

"It was when I was in Africa, and along with the interest of my Aunt, I discovered that there is a tribe in Mali called the Dogon. These people are believed to be descendants of ancient Egyptians…."

"Wow," Jimmy whispered again interrupting, before apologising again.

"Quite," Ducky said before continuing, "The Dogon, are believed to be of Egyptian decent, and their astronomical lore goes back thousands of years to 3200 BC. According to their traditions, the star Sirius has a companion star which is invisible to the human eye. This companion star has a 50 year elliptical orbit around the visible Sirius and is extremely heavy. It also rotates on its axis."

"Dr Mallard, it does, the star which wasn't even photographed until 1970, they call it Sirius B."

"So true Jimmy, but tell me how did a people who lacked any kind of astronomical devices know the existence of this about an invisible star?" Ducky continued watching Jimmy shake his head in puzzlement, "Let me explain what I have learnt. According to Dogon oral traditions, a race of people from the Sirius system called the Nommos visited Earth thousands of years ago. The Nommos were ugly, amphibious resembling mermen and mermaids. These creatures for a better word, also appear in Babylonian, Accadian, and Sumerian myths. The Egyptian Goddess Isis, who is sometimes depicted as a mermaid, is also linked with the star Sirius," Ducky smiled looking at Jimmy. "The Nommos are also referred to as "Masters of the Water", "the Monitors", and "the Teachers", and according to the Dogon legend, lived on a planet that orbits another star in the Sirius system. The creatures landed on Earth in an "ark" that made a spinning decent to the ground with great noise and wind. It was the Nommos that gave the Dogon the knowledge about Sirius B," Ducky continued now becoming very dramatic in his actions.
