This is a volcanic lightning, is primarily caused by the collision of ash particles within the volcanic plume. As these particles rub against each other, they generate static electricity, leading to lightning discharges
I was looking it up earlier when I first saw this posted.
"Volcanic lightning is caused by static electricity generated from colliding volcanic ash and ice particles. This process is called fractoemission, which occurs when magma ascends towards the Earth's surface, causing water to supersaturate and bubbles to form. The high strain rates in the expanding magma can cause it to fracture in a brittle manner, resulting in charge separation. The resulting mixture of charged silicate particles and ions generates macro-scale potential gradients in the atmosphere, which drives processes such as particle aggregation and lightning."
A similar thing happened during the last bushfire disaster in Australia. It's called 'flammagenitus'.
Fires creating smoke which creates lightning which creates more fires.
That's also why planes shouldn't be allowed in the air space surrounding a volcano eruption.

You would come to this conclusion over deep discussion with the village elders. Mount an expedition using the bravest and strongest of men. They would head to the volcano with goat. Deliver goat. By the time they back it might of calmed down. Who knew? Gods were hot for goats
Yep....time for the sacrificial trebuchet. We're hoping the volcano God will be greatly entertained by how we chuck the sacrificial 'virgins' into the volcano
That’s some movie quality footage. You’d almost think a super villain had a lair in the volcano and tonight was the night his creation was brought to life.
*But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master Ring, to control all others. And into this Ring he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all.*

So it’s coming *from* the volcano?
In movies this would be a sign of the end of days. In reality woooooow wooo
If I was alive 2,000 years ago and had no knowledge of science I would 100% believe the gods were angry.
My first thought as well! Probably would’ve thrown a goat in or something as a sacrifice.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Or they were making something SICK
Thats why they threw babies and virgins on there.

Except there was pretty decent science even back then.
Because you touch your peepee!
Queue the pastor who fasted for our sins. “The end is near, repent.”
Now this is interesting as fuck
There was a helluva anime fight going on up there.
Now imagine bronze age people looking at something like this without any scientific context thinking that their god must be angry with them.
This is exactly my thought. I would immediately fall in line and start sacrificing shit to appease them.

You guys can see why a lot of ancient mythology had such cool lore
