I'm watching Prince of Egypt, and there's a scene with a bunch of fireballs. I think there may have also been a "biblical" fireballs scene in the Mummy (The Brendan Fraser one)
Anyway, I put biblical in quotations because I'm not really the religious type, but as a weather phenomenon, can fireballs actually happen? Or would the best explanation be a nearby volcano erupting?
You don't have to read many pages in history to realize that the sky above the Earth looked very different just a few thousand years ago. You might wonder why the ancients named their god after a planet that most people now can't even point to. Well, they were quite explicit about that: they didn't worship gods named for planets, they worshiped the planets. In ancient days, Jupiter and Saturn dominated the sky, and Venus and Mars put on quite a show for a long time.
Here is a careful investigation of ancient myths and legends, considering stories in hundreds of languages from all over the world and going back to 10,500 BC. It is very long, and it is still in progress. www.saturniancosmology.org/
