I think I've got it- it's an eclipse within an eclipse.... The large crescent at the bottom with the Greek geometric pattern in it is the uncovered part of the moon, and the part above it with headdress and the rest is the shadowed portion. Then there is a smaller version inside the large one, with a downward facing crescent and the scarab/cat head looking portion being the shadowed part. Somehow this may show not only the importance of the 7/7 lunar eclipse but also its relationship to the second (solar?) eclipse coming in July as well. All of the geometry and artwork inside of the eclipses denoting just how powerful these energies will be! And something must be important about it being on Silbury Hill- someone should post who knows about Silbury Hill.

Has anyone tried to use a cylinder mirror with a picture of a crop circle before?

In this link you see an example of the working of this: cylinder_mirror_optical_i 

In the Silbury Hill July 5 circle maybe another picture will appear...

From Nazca, Peru to the Mayan country to Avebury?

The formation beside a beautiful design brings us from South America to Central America and Mexico to Avebury, UK. The "hummingbird" is inserting in the middle of the design and in front of it a message (I tried Morse code and Binary code but nothing. Maybe you can solve it); surrounded by Mayan pictographic and the feathered serpent. Now three ancient cultures are together: Central American Mayan, Peruvian pre-Incas and UK Neolithic’s. Can this help us solve the mysteries of Silbury Hill and Avebury Stone Circle? See more information at WATCH

UPDATE:-

This is the confirmation that there was going to be activities on 07-07-2009 Videos from SOHO shows CME expelled from the sun on 07-06-09 to 07-07-09 and something more. See more info at http://www.youtube.com/user/Is2012TheDate

The latest circle shows an owl. If this is a statement with symbolic Aztec or Mayan meaning, then it's a frightening one. Please share this with your readers. I am not a member, and can't post.

Read this…from wikipedia :

 "In the culture of the Uto-Aztec tribe, the Hopi, taboos surround owls, who are associated with sorcery and other evils. The Aztecs and Maya, along with other Natives of Mesoamerica, considered the owl a symbol of death and destruction. In fact, the Aztec god of death, Mictlantecuhtli, was often depicted with owls. There is an old saying in Mexico that is still in use^[14] (considered politically incorrect^{[citation needed]}): Cuando el tecolote canta, el indio muere ("When the owl cries/sings, the Indian dies"). The Popol Vuh, a Mayan religious text, describes owls as messengers of Xibalba (the Mayan "Place of Fright").^[15] The belief that owls are messengers and harbingers of the dark powers is also found among the Hočągara (Winnebago) of Wisconsin. ^[16] When in earlier days the Hočągara committed the sin of killing enemies while they were within the sanctuary of the chief's lodge, an owl appeared and spoke to them in the voice of a human, saying, "From now on the Hočągara will have no luck." This marked the beginning of the decline of their tribe. ^[17] An owl appeared to Glory of the Morning, the only female chief of the Hocak nation, and uttered her name. Soon afterwards she died. ^[18] People often allude to the reputation of owls as bearers of supernatural danger when they tell misbehaving children, "the owls will get you." ^[19]

Other Native American tribes saw the owl as the carrier of their elders' spirits.^{[citation needed]}

The Moche people of ancient Peru worshipped the animal and often depicted owls in their art.^[20]

In some parts of Brazil, especially in the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, to hear the whistle of an owl or find one is a sign of bad omen."

On the recent crop circle at Silbury hill on the 5th of July there is a number of “feathers” surrounding the central motif. I would like to point out that there are some circles and lines at the base of the feathers that are in fact Mayan numbers. Starting from the left (looking down from above) and going clockwise the numbers are as follows.

6,
11,
6,
11,
12.
21,
18,
18,
21,
11,
11,
11,
11,
6.

I am not a mathematician so have no idea what it represents but I thought it should be pointed out that these are Mayan numbers, Mayan numbers are depicted by lines and dots. One line being 10 and one dot being 1.

Mr Thompson's comment is completely incorrect on the most simple and factual level and serves only to confuse, mislead and hamper real analysis as well as to please those who would happily spread disinformation. For example a line = 5 , not 10. A line with a dot = 6, not 11.

Here is the correct way of counting Mayan numbers (courtesy of Marc Smulders) -

Update:- One line being 5 and one dot being 1

I believe that picture is about a crash between the earth and a comet (or some kinda like that) this comet is coming out from a circle - a wormhole I believe, since scientists haven't found any object near our planet that could do harm to the earth

I agree that the bars and dots on the ‘feathers’ of the recent circle near Silbury Hill resemble Mayan numbers, but there are differences. In particular, there are no instances of two or more dots being placed side by side over a bar, and there are also occasional gaps or spaces between the radically-aligned markings which have to be taken into account.

The spaces suggest the use of a place-value or positional number system, whereby the position of a symbol in a sequence determines its value. This is the case with our decimal notation, where ‘0’ is used as a spacer, and it is also the case with binary. But in ancient Babylonia, for example, before the invention of a sign for zero, a space was inserted where necessary between the cuneiform signs to represent ‘0’.

The bars and dots in the feathers, and the radial gaps between them, could thus represent three symbols, and point to the use of a base-3 positional number system. In modern base-3 notation, we would write the decimal numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc, as 0, 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 22, 100, 101, etc.

What then, are the numbers on the feathers? The bars would have to represent ‘5’ in Mayan, but in Arabic the number 5 is denoted by a small circle, and we are only using the numbers 0 to 2. Assuming that the spaces denote zeroes, while the bars denote ‘1’ and small circles denote ‘2’, we get the following:

It will be seen that the ratios between the numbers in the successive feathers are approximations to the constant pi, the first ratio being 22/7 while the second is 66/22 or 3. Given that pi was expressed with high accuracy in the Barbary Castle circle last year, the accuracy isn’t very good, but the Babylonians took pi to be 3 so maybe there’s a link with the values used in different cultures. Perhaps others can suggest a better formulation. I have only presented one-half of the feather sequence - the other half is intriguingly slightly different...

Is strange this volcano alignment crop. Is perfect circle?

The Mayan numbers on the headdress may identify it as specifically Mayan, but similar headdresses could apply to other Native American peoples also. The general meaning is that unique individual functions such as the chieftain and shaman will give way to those functions being spread over a larger number of individuals due to future comet strikes.

The formation possesses four comets, two active at the top and two inactive on the sides. The two active ones may be C and D, which are separated by only six to seven years. The inactive ones would be B and E. The rectangular spirals indicate the small fragments spiralling down to earth during the four-comet period.

Over the next 250 years (from now until Comet E) human society generally speaking will leave behind the multi-layered triangular social pyramid of today in favour of a truncated pyramid where many more individuals will provide leadership than is possible today. This will require an improved, more realistic educational system for everyone. Levelling the pyramid will occur discontinuously, and perhaps the greatest gain may be near the time of Comets C and D, according to the crop circle.

I saw on your site the wonderful crop circle regarding the feathered serpent of the Mayans.I wanted to inform you that in all the discussions going on about it there is a wrong fact. The end date of the Mayan calendar is not 21 December 2012 but 28-10-2011. This is researched carefully and needs to be known when analyzing such formations.I invite you to read this article of Carl Johan Calleman http://calleman.com/content/articles/risk_of_2012.htm  Is very fundamental that this end date question gets cleared up. Thank you very much
