Devil’s Den of August 12, 2012 showed a thematic continuation of Longwood Road of August 5, which suggested seven “triangles of light and shadow” at the Pyramid of Kukulcan  

A majority of crop pictures from the summer of 2012 have shown themes associated with (i) the current astronomy of Venus, or (ii) NASA Curiosity Rover landing on Mars (see milk hill 2). Several crop pictures have also shown themes associated with (iii) an astronomical alignment of Saturn, Spica and Mars (see longwood road or wrekin).

Recently on August 5, a new crop picture at Longwood Road was interpreted in terms of “seven triangles of shadow and light”, appearing on a northern stairway of the Pyramid of Kukulcan, during some equinox (see longwood road). Thus when the Devil’s Den crop picture appeared on August 12, and showed images from a “step pyramid”, that theme was already in many people’s minds:

Could Devil’s Den of August 12 represent a thematic continuation of Longwood Road from August 5, where the paranormal crop artists are showing us a specific series of pictures to “tell a story”?  

A Mayan calendar of the Moon, drawn metaphorically to resemble a multi-level stairway from the Pyramid of the Moon  

Several aspects of the Devil’s Den crop picture bring to mind an autumn equinox in Chichen Itza. Seven “triangles of shadow and light” will appear there, along a northern staircase of the Pyramid of Kukulcan, on September 22, 2012.  

The multi-level “stairway” which was drawn in crops appears “broken” or divided into five smaller segments containing 7, 8, 7, 7 or 7 stairs each. This was done apparently to suggest “36 days” in a Mayan lunar calendar from August 17 (a new Moon) to September 22 (a first-quarter Moon, and also the autumn equinox).  

We can count 7 or 8-day intervals from a new Moon on August 17, to a first-quarter Moon on August 24, to a full Moon on August 31, to a last-quarter Moon on September 8, to another new Moon on September 15, then to another first-quarter Moon on September 22 (see www.calendar-365.com). Visible differences of lunar phase would thus be counted every 7, 7, 8, 7 or 7 days:  

The “broken stairway” which was drawn in crops, to represent metaphorically a 7-day lunar phase calendar, also resembles the stairway from another Mayan pyramid at Teotihuacan, called the Pyramid of the Moon, Very clever! We can only express our admiration to whoever designed this remarkable crop picture, then drew it carefully in a field.
