31st IEEE International Conference On Plasma Science Orientation of
Intense Z-Pinch Instabilities from an Intense Aurora as Recorded in
Antiquity: Western USA

Based on the compilation and analysis of the order of 100,000
digitally logged petroglyphs, we have identified several dozen general
categories of instabilities generally associated with sub- gigaampere
Z-pinches as might occur in a very intense aurora2. But if prehistory
man recorded an aurora in the sky, then petroglyphs must possess a
preferred orientation overall. An initial study of the GPS database
above shows a definite orientation to the Earth's south seeking pole
in the Western USA. The figure below is typical of all sites, either
thousands of glyphs or a single glyph. Generally all have a either a
westerly or easterly normal and a preferred southerly tangent. While a
substantial number also have northerly components, cliffs and slabs
that lack a west-south-east view of the horizon are void of glyphs.
Voids occur along the mile-long cliff of 5,000 glyphs where the cliff
turns away from south as shown in the topographic map below.

The second figure shows the `mushroom' column instability on a
horizontal rock closely matching those in experiments. The south
compass needle is shown at the bottom of the figure.
