Abstract
This work has been elaborated for the presentation as Corresponding Member of the Colombian Academy of Exact, Physics and Natural Sciences. It specifically has an approach on the importance of the understanding of the natural phenomena like the lightning in the millenarian cultures and in the pre-Columbian ones, which had another language different from the scientist, but equally valid to know and to apply these knowledge. And a second focuses on the contributions that the research group PAAS of the National University of Colombia has done to the understanding of the lightning phenomenon.
