The south pole featured relativistic electrons. The north pole featured protons. The previous page of links had at least one non-functional link to this paper:

Characteristics for the Occurrence of a High-Current Z-Pinch Aurora as Recorded in Antiquity Part II: Directionality and Source

This is at www.scribd.com and, if I remember correctly, has simulations of what would be seen in the sky at different orientations on the earth as well as a view from space of the earth enclosed in a cage of Birkeland currents.

Another link to the same paper:

And a third link in case those two don't work:

Here also is a website that is about the possibility of a much more active sky in neolithic times that could have formed the basis of much celestial-related mythology.

Introducing Plasma Mythology

There are links to many papers on this site.

Plasma Mythology. That is a new one for me. Difficult to imagine them having the capability to blot out the sun.

Excerpt - ..people from many parts of the earth witnessed a stupendous pillar of light reaching from the horizon to the highest region of the sky – the so-called axis mundi or 'cosmic axis', that defined the apparent 'centre' of the sky and blotted out the comparatively dim light of the moon, the stars, and even the sun.

Thanks for the Part II paper link. A lot of work went into that paper. Guess we should be glad the sun is forecast to be less active for the next couple of cycles. So they are talking about a very active sun radiating a solar wind strength 10 to 100 times normal. Wonder if there has ever been a correlation between solar wind strength and lighting activity ? And if there is one type of significant plasma storm possible, we should possibly also assume other types of plasma storms are also possible.

Thanks for those links as well.
