    Many dozens of categories of instabilities associated with
    sub-gigaampere Z-pinches from digitally logged archaic petroglyphs
    have been identified as might occur in an intense aurora or the
    influx of interstellar plasma. The data included fields of view
    (FOV's) for sites in Italy, the western United States, northern
    South America, and the Middle East. In all cases, the petroglyphs
    have a magnetic south FOV component. The southern horizon
    inclination angles of the carvings were nearly zero degrees at 50^o
    latitude increasing to 23.5 degrees at 36^o latitude. This suggests
    the presence of an intense prehistoric southerly influx. We present
    digital elevation data where the southern-most petroglyph locations
    silhouette profiles of mountains, often many kilometers to the south.
