I think I've heard of something along the lines of: A real long time ago one of the stars in the sirius system Went Supernova so it would have been visible to Humans on Earth for a period of time. Then disappearing again, which made early human astronomers took note of the star probably suspecting a significant importance to it. Since it's very far and few inbetween for "New Stars" or "Stars to disappear" from the night sky if you remain in a geographic location. Probably wasn't a lot for early humans to do at night time other than star gaze...
