Abstract :
Summary form only given. The mapping of an auroral polar horn and Z-pinch column from an intense prehistoric solar outburst requires the surveying of petroglyphs world-wide. Here, we report preliminary results from GPS and inclination-off-horizon angle surveys from both the northern and southern hemispheres; tens of thousands of petroglyphs located in the regions of the Columbia River Gorge and South Australia. At 121degW, 45.6degN, the field of view is polar south with an intense synchrotron aperture demarcation (southerly object or terrain) of 23-28deg off horizon
