Robert M. Schoch lecture on ancient civilizations during Younger Dryas period
A petroglyph is rock art that involves carving, and engraving, to depict a symbol. It is a study in symbology, proto-writing, and in the art of the Upper Paleolithic. The study is gaining wider public interest, where academic claims are being made that petroglyphs are actually records, made in prehistory, about significant auroral events caused by intense solar storms.[1]
Recording a plasma event[]
Los Alamos plasma physicist Anthony Peratt and his associates propose that petroglyphs, found worldwide, record an intense plasma event (or events) in prehistory. Peratt's hypothesis outlines how a powerful plasma phenomena (such as intense lightning),[2] observed in the skies, could take on characteristic shapes resembling humanoid figures, humans with bird heads, sets of rings or donut shapes, and writhing snakes or serpents—shapes reflected in countless ancient petroglyphs, more pointedly during the Younger Dryas period (c. 12 to 14,000 years ago). The rongorongo petroglyphs of Easter Island are of special interest to geologist Robert M. Schoch, as they appear to lend a stronger case for the proposed sky observations.[3]
