Reconstruction of the
2008 Avebury Down formation

By Zef Damen

REPORT: 

This pattern was first reported on September 29th 2008 by Tammy Tamx, a contributor to the CCC forum, which is where Tamx first posted the images of the pattern. By the 30th of September Tammy Tamx had been altered to Tammi Paxman on the forum. Photo credit to that name above.  Adolescent use of pseudonyms has become curious indeed. 

Paxman says “It looks to be about 700 feet in length”! When measuring the central axis of the pattern the tape pulled tight at 700 feet. 

Paxman says there is an “interesting bar-code at the edge of the field too”. 

The “bar-code” is a strip of irregular seeding of the maize plants.  No crops are laid in this area of the field.  

On the ground the cross is generally a mess.. All the laid plants are severely damaged, in some areas the plants are  smashed and dead or dyeing on the ground. Similar physical damage effects to the plants were also very apparent on the “construction lines” that run under the pattern throughout.

Australian Scientist Comments On “Digital Barcode”

September 28, 2008 email to Earthfiles:  “The new cross in maize on September 28, 2008, appears at first glance to be authentic, and shows a ‘barcode signature’ off to one side. It might be ASCII, since its first few digits (reading left to right, standing near the cross) look like 00100000, which was a ‘word spacer’ in the Crabwood message: [ See 081902 Earthfiles about alien face in Winchester wheat and 081902EarthfilesUpdate about code analysis.]

This new formation is very impressive. It is located under the Ridgeway, Avebury. It is in Maize crop that stands about 6-8ft tall. It measures 200m in length, and 150m across. The discs that make up the formation are 20m, 15m, and 10m in diameter. Some of the crop remains standing and continues to grow, some is flat on the ground, still growing, and some is either broken or uprooted, lying dead on the ground, though this may be partly due to being trampled by visitors and animals. 'scrape' marks are apparent on the stems in a number of places throughout the formation, though again, this could be from visitors boots.

This giant of a formation is well worth visiting. It is fantastic to have such beautiful formations appearing as late at this. The sheer size and complexity of this years late formations in maize has never been seen before in the UK. The whole experience of locating a maize formation in a field due to its height is an unusual experience indeed, with the plants towering over you. This may be the last formation of the 2008 season, which started in, and ended in Avebury....then again, maybe the season will continue, and produce more of these fascinating patterns in the landscape.

'There were many amazing facets to this stunning formation, not the least being the sheer size of it. Also the location of the single plants left standing, almost like markers; for example in the first circle at the lower end of the cross, where a single very tall plant was pointing to the field between this cross and Avebury stone circle, passing directly through last years stunning formation of a triple yin yang in wheat (July 29th 2007).

On the ground, although a great deal of the plants were broken and smashed, i found many which weren't, and the whole of the ground area covered by the cross was awash with chamomile, pansies, poppies, and other wild flowers, all growing strong.

I have tried to enclose pictures a bit different from those already posted, showing leaf anomalies such as splitting and scorching, that i have found in two of the five sweet corn 'circles' visited so far this season (this may be a 'normal happening, perhaps someone with more knowledge could help me out here?) Also I've included some overhead pole shots, to try and give an idea of the sheer size of this powerful statement. The first five pictures enclosed were taken by a friend who had visited this formation with me, so credit to Mishi for these.

All in all, it was a most humbling experience, walking into and through this majestic cross of sweet corn, on the last day of September. I hope the sweet energy of it reaches out to touch all of our lives.

COMMENTS

I have read the very interesting comments of the researcher Wiz-Oz posted Thursday October 2, 2008, on your forum about the crop circle of Avebury Down reported 28th September 2008:

 
"(1) the cross formation has circles which are in size in octaves 3-6-12"
  
It  has written that 3x6x12 = 216 but she has not written that 216 = 6x6x6 !  

If the measures of Wiz-Oz are correct, 666 associated with the barcode like form in the maize field is a very important information !

Here is a relation to the Avebury circle. The bonding atoms  of Ethers  See also the  pictures below. Could also relate the the physical properties of Sodium Chloride and Magnesium oxide. This could also relate to the molecular make up of a type on cancerous growth.

I believe the barcode to be intentional, the circle creators can plan well in advance, and the http://www.earthfiles.com/ interpretation is perfect.  The formation is I think an arrow, I am a Christian it does look like a Cross, but I think it is an Arrow because it is pointing towards Herepath or Green Street, in an Uphill direction at the corner of the field which is a triangle too.  I thought that it was a formation of atoms, the arrowhead being Methane atoms, a Carbon centre and 4 Hydrogens.  Methane is usually illustrated with a tilt on one connection.   There are many images of Methane Atoms in Google Images.  I tried to ascertain what the other 6 atoms were, looking at sites such as Atom Sizes in Google Images it looks like it might be Helium (please correct me if I'm wrong and edit this)  I think the Circle Event is saying Beware of Hot Air on Green Issues.   Bring the Tree of Life to life, just do it.

The 'bar code'  portion at the Cross and Bar Code Crop Circle site at Avebury down near Avebury, Wiltshire was interesting.  According to Charles R. Mallett

The 'bar-code' is a strip of irregular seeding of the maize plants.  No crops are laid in this area of the field." 

By whose design?  You know, it struck me that when viewed at a different angle, the 'bar code' looks strikingly similar to a strand of DNA.  Just a thought.
