Finished reading the first paper. A couple more quotes from it:

"Data shows petroglyphs have a preferred orientation on a worldwide basis and on morphology type, indicating that they are reproductions of plasma phenomenon in space."

"The accuracy of these MHD instabilities suggests that an appreciative amount of time of a particular morphology was visible to the petroglyph carvers."


So were the ancients recording a powerful solar event? Looks like it. I recall reading in there somewhere about how wings were used to show intense energy or something like that. An anomaly anyways..Is this where the representation of the "winged" disc comes from? A huge CME outburst from the sun.


I don't think they are talking about the sun... They are talking about the plasma in our atmosphere. They were recording aurora, which is plasma... The petroglyphs they used span a few thousand years, while it is possible that some of them do include the sun, they could have only done it as it was rising or setting. It sure does seem like they were recording something they didn't understand but felt it was worth etching into rocks... their first experience with what they believe was divine, aurora... how funny. If the aurora rose to the same activity levels as back then, and they are starting to pick up, I think a lot of people would attribute the sights in the skies to their god(s).
