They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If so, what messages do the similar petroglyphs from around the world have to tell us? Why would indigenous around the world carve similar images? Did they all witness the same cataclysmic event? In order to explain just what the indigenous saw and then carved in stone, we need to start with a science lesson about plasma.
We know that everything is made of energy. Scientists say that we live in a plasma universe – everything is made of plasma. What is plasma?
There are four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and the fourth is plasma. Plasma is ionized gas that is made of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. As such, it is highly electrically conductive. Our sun is made of plasma.
Anthony Peratt, who discovered the correlation between some petroglyphs and plasma morphology, has a PhD in electrical engineering/plasma physics from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. He currently works in the Applied Theoretical Physics Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory. He has done extensive research on how plasma behaves and analyzed tens of thousands of petroglyphs. He compared them to what extremely high density plasma would have looked like to our ancestors during a huge solar storm and subsequent geomagnetic pole reversal. Much of the information in this blog comes from Dr. Peratt’s paper below.
The most commonly known effect of plasma on the Earth is the Earth’s aurora. The aurora borealis is caused by the sun’s plasma coming into contact with the Earth’s magnetic field. It interacts with the Earth’s poles and the plasma pours into and through the Earth producing a cone shape. The flow of plasma along magnetic field lines is known as Birkeland currents. I took the following photo of a petroglyph at Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. The circled area clearly depicts what the flow of Birkeland currents into and out of the Earth would look like.
Through his laboratory research, Dr. Peratt found that plasma will form a column with areas that pinch off and form bulges. The pinched off areas are called a z-pinch. I will talk more about z-pinches in subsequent blogs. This is my drawing of a z-pinch.
As the current increases, a stack of nine toroids (donut shapes) forms what looks like an eye mask or face mask. There are face mask petroglyphs found in Greece, Africa, Australia, Venezuela, Oregon, New Mexico, Arizona, and this one below from Bella Coola, British Columbia.

Plasma will morph into a column of toroids that look like a stack of flat discs. The petroglyphs that depict this are called ladder and scorpion petroglyphs. Petroglyphs are oriented magnetically to the south. As the column becomes more unstable, the instabilities are seen on the outside, as in the second drawing (my renditions).
This next photograph was taken in Bishop, California depicting the instabilities in the ladder formation in the two images on the right.

The most popular petroglyph is the stick figure, sometimes called the squatting man, and is found all over the world. This black and white photo was taken in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Interestingly, Dr. Peratt’s curiosity didn’t end with petroglyphs. He also studied ancient stone sites such as Stonehenge. He was able to overlay the apparent pattern of stone glyphs from Stonehenge over the Navajo petroglyphs. These petroglyphs depicted intense auroral events, like those that would be seen during a huge solar event. Below is my rendition of what these “Navajo petroglyphs,” seen all over the world, would look like.
Imagine the spiral of the original Stonehenge overlaid on these petroglyphs. Did the builders of Stonehenge witness the same auroral phenomenon as the Navajo and other ancient cultures? Dr. Peratt thinks so. Why would an ancient culture go to such lengths as to create huge stone monoliths in a circle with others inside? Was it to convey the same information as the Navajo petroglyphs or something more?
It is thought that Stonehenge may have been created as an astronomical clock, marking times of summer and winter solstices and solar and lunar eclipses. If this is true, it could be used to mark time and tell them when eclipses approached. Could it also have been used to predict when the next clock cycle ends? If so, how did they know that these Earth catastrophes cycle through time? These are just my thoughts and questions. Perhaps we will never know for sure.
Speaking of predicting, what do the prophets and psychics have to say about these cyclic cataclysms? You’ll find out in my next blog.
