Boy that’s really astute, yes it really could.

Look at those Peratt papers.

Here are the links to the PDFs of three papers dealing with it. In a previous post I thought I had linked to the first (look at figures 36 and 37, for examples of human forms and faces and their similarities to different types of plasma discharges, eg. Kokopeli figures are found around the world, not just in the American Southwest), but it was to the second paper (look at Fig. 68 for an example of a figure with a face). The third paper is more of an amalgam of the first two but with additional material (see Fig. 13 for another type of face and a possible corresponding plasma source):

Characteristics for the Occurrence of a High-Current Z-Pinch Aurora as Recorded in Antiquity, Peratt AL, et al, IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PLASMA SCIENCE, VOL. 31, NO. 6, DECEMBER 2003.

———I’d be more impressed with the duck bill-——

To me it looked more dinosaurish than human.

My first impression was that it was a map, a cave map

Here's a good version in Spanish with many color illustrations: Probable ocurrencia en la antigüedad de aurora boreal de alta intensidad y su posible registro en obras rupestres.

Toro Muerto (Peru) Together with Elena Miklashevich of Kemerovo, Siberia, I paid a visit to the Toro Muerto petroglyph site, Peru, on 18th April 1997, in the company of a commercial tour-guide and also of Eloy Linares Malaga, who first brought the site to the world¹s attention over 40 years ago.

I think these papers by Peratt, et al, are some of the most exciting things I have read that tie together very similar artwork in very distinct groups of people with something much more meaningful that talk about Jungian archetypes. Especially the orientation of the petroglyphs with respect to what the artists would have been observing at different latitudes as well as geographical anomalies in their siting that has since been explained by the discovery by the THEMIS satellite of two corresponding breaches in the Earth's magnetosphere.
The recent THEMIS spacecraft discovery of two very large holes in the Earth's magnetosphere helps explain an anomaly in the global distribution of petroglyphs on our planet [1]. Previously, we reported a world wide GPS logging of some 4 million of these objects, each a picture of a filamental MHD instability carved in rock [2, 3]. In all cases, the field-of-view of the petroglyphs was true south with an off-horizon inclination between 21 -- 31 degrees. However, in a complete survey of the braided lava tube caves on Easter Island, petroglyphs were also found in long, true-north shafts, 50 m or more in length. This observation had been noted in natural shafts of similar lengths in the Columbia River Basin.
From another PDF:
INTENSE SOLAR STORMS; CORROBORATION OF PREHISTORY ROCK RECORDINGS AND THEMIS MULTISPACECRAFT OBSERVATIONS

A. L. Peratt, Fellow IEEE
Los Alamos National Laboratory
Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA

W. F. Yao, Member, IEEE
Library and Technology Division, Albuquerque Public Schools, Albuquerque, NM 87122

The identification of prehistoric petroglyphs as artists recordings of MHD Z-pinch column instabilities has led to a global survey of these in 139 countries, from 70°N to 48°S.1, 2 In all cases, after a survey of fields of several million glyphs, the field-of-view (FOV) alignment is found to be within 1° of true south. This accuracy was determined from southviewing caves in the Arnold Lave Tube system in Oregon and California, caves along 300 km of the Orinoco River in Venezuela, 3 and the braided lava tube caves of Easter Island. Each unmoved petroglyph is treated as a pixel containing GPS position, survey transit FOV, and angle of inclination. GIS techniques on a 1-petaflop computer allow the reconstruction of a virtual image of the multi-gigaampere aurora. The reconstructed image shows one plasma column into the true South Pole at Antarctica. As the very intense solar storm appears sporadic, and its duration is very long compared to milder storms, it is not known if it was periodic, that is, if a north column once existed and evidence eroded due to time. Corroborating these results were witnesses of the polar storm of 1859 who reported ‘figures in the sky as if drawn with fire on a black background’.4 Unexpected were the 2008 observations of the THEMIS spacecraft whose discoveries were contrary to long standing views of how and when solar plasma enters the Earth’s magnetosphere. A northward IMF orientation was found to allow 20 times more solar wind plasma to penetrate the magnetosphere when the sun’s magnetic field is aligned with that of the Earth.5
