Satellite picture of lava flow following the eruption of a volcano on the island of La Palma, Spain September 30, 2021. The lava has created a 550 yard-wide pyramid as it has come into contact with the ocean and cooled. Fears were raised on Friday about more damage after a new fissure opened in the volcano on Thursday, around 1,300 feet north of the initial eruption site.
Imagine similar lava rivers snaking across the surface of Pharaonic Mars (& other celestial bodies) on a gargantuan scale while in close proximity to Earth. Herein lies the origin of one of ancient Egypt’s most iconic emblems. . . The Cobra!
