Park Life 71 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 The 400-foot design was discovered in a barley field in Yatesbury near Devizes and depicts the mythical phoenix reborn as it rises from the ashes. Investigators claim more formations are referencing the possibility of a cataclysmic event occurring on December 21, 2012, which coincides with the end of the ancient Mayan calendar. The Mayans believed civilisation exists within a series of earth cycles of 144,000 days each with the 13th expiring in December 2012, resulting in Armageddon. Crop circle enthusiast Karen Alexander, from Gosport, Hants, said: "The phoenix is a mythical creature which symbolises rebirth and a new era in many cultures across the world. "Within the crop circle community many believe the designs are constantly referring to December 21 and its aftermath. "This could be interpreted as the human race or earth rising again after a monumental event. "The patterns are becoming more intricate with every find and it is exciting to think how they are going to evolve by the time we get to 2012." Recent crop circles have included giant jelly-fish and one image discovered in Wiltshire in June which experts dubbed the most 'mind boggling' they had ever come across. The formation, measuring 150ft in diameter, is apparently a coded image representing the first 10 digits, 3.141592654, of pi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 11080 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I like that there is a "crop circle community". I hope they have meetings above pubs and share stories of how there are alins who travel impossible distances to fuck around in fields... and that they're definitely not bored kids/out of work actors/artists/trainspotters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2207 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 It's plainly man made. It's a few new age gadgees who do it by torchlight using modified brooms. They'd get a crop circle blown in their groins with a shotgun if the farmer caught them at it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Our universe is actually quite tiny. What's that got to do with cider-fuelled crusties in wheat fields though? Cider-filled pricks, iyam. Funny how all these designs are easily done with a centre for reference, rather than something wierd-shaped like the monkey in S.America, for example. Cider-filled pricks. N.B. The term 'pricks' includes students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 During the twilight days of December 1998, small articles tucked away in the nether regions of the British press quietly announced 'Unknown Force Was Behind Corn Circles, Claims Hoaxer'. This dramatic U-turn by the surviving member of the infamous Doug & Dave duo- who since 1991 have misled the world with tales of their crop flattening prowess with planks of wood- illustrates that the hand of man materialized in crop circle lore long after the real phenomenon manifested. Latterday hoaxers claim that they applied boot to wheat in 1978, yet crop circles have appeared throughout the world since the early 1900s, with dozens of eyewitnesses even reporting crop circles forming in a matter of seconds as far back as 1890; several descriptive accounts were even documented in 1678 by Robert Plot, then curator of the Ashmolean. If hoaxers are responsible, then, they appear to have mastered the art of time travel, in which case it is they who should be under scientific scrutiny. To date some 10,000 crop circles have been catalogued worldwide, and their anomalous features continue to be irreplecatable: plants bent an inch above soil and gently laid down in geometrically-precise patterns with no physical signs of damage, light burn marks at the base of stems, altered cellular structure and soil chemistry, discrepancies in background radiation, alteration of the local electromagnetic field, depletion of the local watershed, and dowsable, long-lasting energy patterns, not to mention measured effects on the human biological field. So much, then, for two guys and a piece of wood. But thanks to a virtual embargo on research coverage throughout the media, a popular myth has developed that all crop circles have been nothing more than a prank with a plank. http://www.cropcirclesecrets.org/crop_circles_sound.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are obviously places in the world where the cider is not available, so some other form of fuel is imbibed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 "Modern science now shows that these geometric rhythms lie at the centre of atomic structures. When Andrew Gladzewski carried out research into atomic patterns, plants, crystals and harmonics in music he concluded that atoms are harmonic resonators, proving that physical reality is actually governed by geometric arrays based on sound frequencies. Even that primeval Hindu sound, the OM, from which is derived our modern term 'hum', when sung into a tonoscope produces the very geometric shapes attributed with 'sacredness'. Perhaps the most important of these shapes is the hexagon, upon which the Egyptian matrix named the Flower of Life is based. This series of outwardly-rotating divisions of the circle accommodate the branches of the building blocks of life, the amino acids. This Flower of Life has subsequently manifested as a crop circle. As the expression of number in space, geometry is inextricably linked to music since the laws of the former govern the mathematical intervals that make up the notes in the western music scale- the diatonic ratios- hence why the ancient Egyptians referred to geometry as frozen music. In the February 1992 edition of Science News, Prof. Gerald Hawkins used the principles of Euclidean geometry to prove that four theorems can be derived from the relationships of elements in crop circles. More significantly, he discovered a fifth theorem from which he could derive the other four. Despite an open challenge, over half a million subscribers have been unable to create such a theorem, which Euclid himself only hinted at twenty-three centuries earlier in his thirteen treatises on mathematics. So it came as a slight surprise when its equilateral version materialized as 160,000 sq. ft. of flattened barley at Litchfield, Hampshire."

The Fish 11080 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Why crop circles? why not something a little less of a conundrum?

Guest alex Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 That website is mint mind Love the bit about the press (sort of) supressing (i.e. it was shit story no one was interested in any more) the story of one of the people initially claiming to be a crop circle hoaxerwho then later said it wasn't a hoax. "During the twilight days of December 1998, small articles tucked away in the nether regions of the British press quietly announced 'Unknown Force Was Behind Corn Circles, Claims Hoaxer'.
