1995 Isaac Rabin was murdered.<\/h3>\n

That week I was in Paris with our 18 years-old daughter. It was her birthday present to visit museums in the city of lights.<\/h3>\n

We called her sister and father in Israel, from a booth phone to say good-bye as they were leaving that night to Kenya for a beetle collecting expedition.<\/h3>\n

Then we entered a gallery of African sculptures. I saw this Dogon door. \"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

I was deeply impressed by the carving and images and the relationship between the lizard and human figure. It does not happen often, but indeed, I wanted it.<\/h3>\n

I left the beautiful expensive door behind, hoping to come one day with more courage to buy it.<\/h3>\n

At home, a\u00a0few nights later, I got an urgent call from my daughter in Kenya: they had a horrible accident; she is the only one not injured. All three men were badly hurt especially my husband.<\/h3>\n

They were brought home by a flying ambulance.<\/h3>\n

As he was recovering for months, we decided it is a good time to learn to use a computer.<\/h3>\n

My brother asked me to type any word I wish.<\/h3>\n

I typed: DOGON, MALI<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

Time and skies unfolded wide on the screen: A compound of far away stares, ancient Egyptians and Dogon tribe- all at our small desk.<\/h3>\n

I instantly realized that the Dogon\u2019s knowledge of astronomy comes from the Egyptians! How did they know about Cereus B without telescopes?!<\/h3>\n

Oh, they would have loved this internet invention!<\/h3>\n
