EeYPT'S GREEN SUN.
A Phenomenon That Was Commented
Upon by the AnoientS.

A Phenomenon That Was Commented
Upon by the AnoientS.
The appearance Of q green light at
sunset was noticed and commented
upon by the ancient Egyptians aud
more particularly so because in the
clear air Of Egypt the tints Of sunset
are peculiarly distinct.
As the sun there descends nearer
and nearer to the horizon and is i'm
mensely enlarged and flaming It sud
denly becomes for an instant a brill
liantly green color, and Immediately a
series Of green rays suffuses the sky in
many directions. well night to the ze-
NTH. The same phenomenon appears at
sunrise, but to a smaller extent. Some
times, just as the last part OF the SUMS
disk vanishes, its color changes from
green to blue, and so also after 1t has
disappeared the sky near the horizon
often is green, while toward the zenith
It Is blue.
This was alluded to in Egyptian
writings. Day was the emblem Of life
and night that of death, and the noe
turnal sun, being identified with Osiris,
thus rendered Osiris king Of the dead.
The setting sun was green; therefore
Osiris, as the nocturnal deity OF the
dead, was painted green. The splendid
collins Of the high priests of Ammon
frequently depict the green sun, and
the funeral deities are oil colored
green.
There are innumerable instances in
the Egyptian relics Of representations
relative to death being colored green.
The practice undoubtedly arose from
the green tints Of sunrise and sunset.
The green sun disk is referred to 5000
years ago In Egypt. This Is the earli-
est known human record Of an as
trOnomical phenomenon.
