Wappenbury of August 15 shows a six-week lunar calendar from August 10 to September 22, 2012, with a schematic image of the Pleiades at its centre, and with our Moon being located close to the Pleiades in Earth’s sky on its starting date of August 10  

The “slanted grapeshot” symbols as shown in crops at Wappenbury on August 15, 2012 seem similar to those shown at Stonehenge or Windmill Hill in 1996 (see The Stoneheng code), Chiseldon in 1996 (see 1996), Danbury in 1998 (see Danebury 98), Milk Hill in 2001, or East Field in 2007 (see eastfield 2007). All of those “slanted grapeshots” previously specified “lunar phases” of one kind or another. For example they symbolized one lunar month of 29.5 days at Stonehenge, six lunar months of 13 days above the horizon at Milk Hill, or three lunar months of 29-30 days at East Field, with six days added at the end to reach a Sun-Venus conjunction.  

The new crop picture at Wappenbury seems to show “slanted grapeshot” or “lunar phase” symbols of a similar kind. Being hexagonal in shape, it could perhaps show “six lunar months” in total. Yet each “spoke” of that crop “hexagon” shows 7 outwardly-facing circles of increasing size, to suggest “7 days”. Also, one slanted grapeshot has been drawn abnormally large, so as to mark a date of “August 15” when the crop picture appeared.(day 5 of 7 leading into August 17, a new Moon).  

Therefore, it seems that Wappenbury shows a six-week lunar calendar of 7 days each, specifying 42 days in total from August 10 (at its centre) to August 17 along its first “spoke”, August 24 along its second “spoke”, August 31 along its third “spoke”, and so on until September 22 along its sixth “spoke”: 

September 22, 2012 is also an autumn equinox, as noted in several previous crop pictures. On that day, a spectacular show of “shadow and light” will appear on a northern stairway of the Pyramid of Kukulcan in Chichen Itza. 

The Mayans counted lunar cycles as a series of six, for example 6 x 29.5-day lunar months between successive new Moons (see mayan-calendar.com   or Maya calendar Lunation number and lunar deity). They also kept a special lunar calendar known as the “Tun’Uc” with 28 days per month, and 7 days for each lunar phase as “new, first-quarter, full or last-quarter” (see www.creatia.org or www.authenticmaya.com  ).   

This new crop picture at Wappenbury therefore seems to resemble a Mayan Tun’Uc lunar calendar, extending for six weeks of 7 days each from August 10 (a last-quarter Moon) at its centre, to August 17 (a new Moon) along its first spoke, August 24 (a first-quarter Moon) along its second spoke, August 31 (a full Moon) along its third spoke, and so on until September 22 (a first-quarter Moon) along its sixth spoke, when there will be a show of “shadow and light” on the autumn equinox in Chichen Itza.  

At the very centre of Wappenbury, we can see a small hexagonal ring which seems to represent the Pleiades M45 star cluster, as drawn next to the Moon for example on the ancient Nebra sky disc:  

A very similar hexagonal ring was drawn in crops at Fabbrico, Italy on June 25, 2012. There it likewise represented the Pleiades M45 star cluster, with a Mayan calendar date of (12).19.19.8.17 for June 23 coiled like a “serpent” around the outside (see Fabbrico 2012).  

The Pleiades star cluster (close to our Sun) passes directly above the Pyramid of Kukulcan on May 20 of any year (see www.grahamhancock.com or www.world-mysteries.com). 

How might that “Pleiades star cluster” at the centre of Wappenbury relate to a “lunar calendar” as shown all along its outer parts? Well, the Pleiades passed very close to a last-quarter Moon in Earth’s sky on August 10, 2012, which is exactly when the lunar calendar drawn at Wappenbury begins: 

The Pleiades will pass close to another last-quarter Moon in Earth’s sky on September 7-8, 2012, which is a date that lies at the end of a fourth spoke of 7 days, after starting in the centre on August 10.  

In summary, the new crop picture at Wappenbury on August 15, 2012 was a masterpiece of art and astronomy combined. We can only wait with expectation to see what its end-date of September 22 might bring!

Appendix 1. The field location at Wappenbury shows a huge “serpent” shape, to accompany a “lunar calendar” in crops which codes for a date of September 22, when a “Feathered Serpent” will metaphorically descend the Pyramid of Kukulcan at Chichen Itza 

A “lunar calendar” was drawn in crops near Wappenbury on August 15, 2012. It seems to show a six-week lunar calendar beginning on August 10 (with a Moon-Pleiades conjunction), then ending on September 22 (with a last-quarter Moon and also an autumn equinox). 

On that day, seven triangles of light and shadow will metaphorically descend the Pyramid of Kukulcan at Chichen Itza, in order to symbolize a return from sky to earth of a beloved Mayan leader of the same name (sometimes called “Quetzalcoatl” meaning “Feathered Serpent”).  

Why did the crop artists have to go all the way up to Warwickshire to draw a “lunar calendar” in crops? A plausible answer is provided below. There we can see the field image of a huge, comical-looking “serpent” (outlined in blue), very close to where the crop picture appeared:  

What a great joke by the crop artists! Humans on Earth solve for the symbolic meaning of that Wappenbury crop picture after considerable effort, then look to see exactly where it appeared using Google Earth? Immediately the humans see a huge “serpent” shape nearby, informing them that their “lunar calendar” interpretation is correct!

Four of the most recent crop pictures in England have dealt with this same theme: namely a metaphorical descent of the Feathered Serpent along a northern stairway of the Pyramid of Kukulcan, in Chichen Itza on September 22, 2012 (an autumn equinox).  

Longwood Road of August 5 showed “seven triangles” of shadow and light, closely resembling what will appear along a northern stairway of the Pyramid of Kukulcan on September 22. Devil’s Den of August 12 showed “36 stairs” from a Mayan step pyramid, divided into five parts as 7-8-7-7-7, in order to represent a Mayan lunar calendar with seven days for each part of the phase cycle. After 36 days from August 17 (a new Moon) to September 22 (a first-quarter Moon), the metaphorical descent of a Feathered Serpent will be seen on an autumn equinox at the Pyramid of Kukulcan.  

Uffington White Horse of August 14 showed a “coiled serpent” next to a “crescent Moon”, perhaps to symbolize a descent of the Feathered Serpent on a first-quarter, crescent Moon of September 22. Wappenbury of August 15 showed a Mayan lunar calendar extending for six weeks from August 10 to September 22, with the image of a huge “serpent” in the landscape nearby! What other amazing things shall we see, before the Mayan Long Count calendar ends on December 21 or 23, 2012?  

“We need to listen to the Mayans. It is very important. No matter what the source, this message is true and it touches all of mankind---Martin Keitel, August 23, 2002 (see www.martinkeitel.net).

Appendix 2. Who was the man Quetzalcoatl in a historical sense?  

Many crop circles over the years have shown images of a “feathered serpent”, “planet Venus”, “feathered headdress” or a “jester’s hat”. All of those are traditional symbols for a legendary god-teacher called “Quetzalcoatl” or “Kukulcan”. The native people of central, south and north America once reverenced him as we reverence Jesus today. So who was he in a historical sense? And why are so many of his symbols appearing in crops?  

We seem to have two direct likenesses of Quetzalcoatl from central America 2000 years ago, carved as small statuettes or as large statues. The first of these is called “La Venta Stela 19” and is shown below: 

Here we can see an aviator of some kind, maybe an airplane pilot or maybe an astronaut. He is sitting in a pressurized suit with a helmet and an earphone, in the cockpit of some unknown craft. In his right hand, he holds a controlling device. Behind him, we can see what looks like an instrument panel, including a square-screen TV. The craft in which he is flying has been pictured metaphorically by the sculptor as a “flying snake” or “feathered serpent”.  

Quetzalcoatl supposedly arrived by boat along the coast of the Yucatan in a year “One Reed” (60 AD) with twenty of his companions, having sailed across the “sunrise ocean” (Atlantic). They proceeded to teach the Olmecs and/or Mayans how to set up an advanced civilization: how to farm crops, how to process ores, how to build pyramids, how to study the planets or stars, and how to do mathematics.  

Such knowledge was not known elsewhere on Earth at the time. Could Quetzalcoatl and his friends have arrived in ancient central America from another star system, or from another time in Earth’s history?  

A second authentic likeness of Quetzalcoatl is shown below. It is part of a large statue on display at La Venta Park in Tabasco, Mexico. Here we can see him wearing a three-lobed jester’s hat, and greeting a local native leader:  

If we look closely at his head and upper body, we can see some interesting details:

Quetzal had “white European” features, including a long Roman nose. On his ear he is wearing headphones, while on his head he has a three-lobed hat (later to be associated with court jesters in medieval Europe).  

The Mayans built a spectacular Temple for him in Teotihuacan, along with a Butterfly Palace (see www.richard-seaman.com). Later in 800 AD, they built the Pyramid of Kukulcan in his honour. The image of a “serpent” comes down from “sky to earth”, along the northern stairway of that pyramid, twice every year on the spring or autumn equinox (see Chichen Itza).  So where did he come from, and why have symbols for Quetzalcoatl (or other Mayan themes) been appearing in crop pictures all across Europe for the past ten or twenty years?  

Images for the Pleiades appear regularly in crops, say at Fabbrico or Wappenbury in 2012. Could Quetzalcoatl have been a star traveller from the Pleiades M45 star cluster?  

Was he a friend of Jesus, who taught peace and non-violence in Israel at almost the same time? Jesus said in the New Testament, “This is not the only place where I have sheep”. At the end of Revelation (in Aramaic), Jesus says: “I am the root and offspring of David, and my companion the Bright Morning Star (Venus)”.   

Could Quetzalcoatl have been a time-traveller from our future? Could he have come from some parallel dimension, where the Mayan civilization did not collapse, but flourished all the way into our modern era?  

Whichever of these possibilities might be correct, we will perhaps learn soon. The Long Count calendar which he taught to the Mayans will end its current cycle of 5200 years on December 21 or 23, 2012, Quetzal always promised that he would “return” during the first year of a new calendar cycle called “One Reed”. It will be very exciting if that turns out to be the case!
