  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. At 27.8°N, 32.6°E, Ancient Egypt was well-positioned to observe synchrotron radiation light from Birkeland currents coming in and out of the polar regions as-well-as those directly overhead. Together with an advanced society capable of recording these events on basalt, diorite, and granite; hieroglyphics carved with molybdenum tools; and lapidary and metallurgy skills, provides us not only the morphology of the archeoplasma sky, but the colors as well. The trueness of antiquity recordings is replicated on a petaflop computer using a fully 3D PIC code and tens of millions of plasma particles. Not expected was the morphing of light-emitting plasma collisions, as interpreted by an observer in the culture. These are seen in the 56 (gaussian peak) ray current patterns flowing past Earth recorded on nearly all finely-carved statues of the Pharaohs (nemes headcloths and nekhbet wing wrappings) and number of feathers on the sacred birds carved on steles, interlaid gold coffins, and a plethora of artifacts.
