The crop circle pictured here appeared on June 3 at Wakerley
Woods, Barrowden, Northamtonshire. Local residents had not
seen it the day before its appearance, suggesting that it may
not be hoaxed. Further testing will be needed before it can
be identified as a certain unknown.
Researcher Geoff Stray has observed what may be some
important relationships between this circle and the Mayan
calendar. The Mayans had a calendar that included
some 'long count' cycles, one of which has been of great
interest recently because it ends in December, 2012.
The end of this cycle, known as the 13-Baktun Cycle, was
predicted to involve profound changes and upheavals,
including a complete revision of the whole nature of mankind.
The cycle is measured beginning with 18 Uinals, or 20 day
periods. 18 Uinals make up 1 Tun, 20 Tuns = 1 Katun, 20
Katuns = 1 Baktun and 13 Baktuns = 1 Great Cycle.
The key number pointing to the Great Cycle, using the Mayan
means of reckoning time, is 18 Uinals. The Wakerly Woods
circle has 18 central symbols divided into 9 segments. Its
appearance is similar to that of the Aztec 'Sun Stone'
discovered in Mexico in 1790. However, the sun stone has
not been believed to count the Great Cycle, but only other,
shorter, cycles.
Now Mr. Stray believes that he has determined a means of
counting the Great Cycle using the Sun Stone, and that this
method coincides exactly with the structure of the Wakerly
Woods circle and the numbers found in it.
