Abstract :
In previous publications [Peratt, A.L., 2003; Peratt, A.L., et al., 2007], the reconstruction of a virtual image of an intense auroral storm recorded in prehistory from a worldwide logging of petroglyphs (GPS, orientation, and inclination) is showing plasma sheath filamentation into 56 currents at the south polar horn. Below the horn, a convergence via Ampere\´s law to 28 filaments is seen at a pinch plasmoid, followed by lesser numbers of merged filaments at a second plasmoid. Near Earth, the filaments merge to four in a magnetic fusion confinement quadrupole before spreading out to 56 currents that then flow over and around the Earth. The self magnetic field trap follows the analysis given by Akasofir and the picture, as seen from about 45degN-25degS, well-documented in Mesoamerica and the Middle-East, is that of an "quincunx", the outer objects being the four currents while the inner object is trapped thermonuclear plasma. All objects were seen in synchrotron light. Three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations are replicating a great number of petroglyphs from the rapidity of the plasma within the quadrupole. For example, the right frame shows a typical quincunx pattern of \´four birds\´ as depicted on a clay tablet unearthed in the Midwestern U.S. On the left is one of many Three Rivers \´bird figures\´, a single part of a quadrupole representative of the numerous complete quincunx\´s carved at this site.
