THE RECURRING POINT OF REFERENCE
Foreword
I've been labouring
recently on an article outlining my investigation of what I now believe
is a profoundly important formation: the one whose circumference
comprised 5 evenly spaced structures, resembling ogham characters, which
appeared south of Silbury Hill, on June 25. Having discovered that,
amongst other things, the circle embodies a clearly defined geodetic
link to the cited ancient monument [outlined later], I realised, as the
season progressed, that certain subsequent UK formations exhibit the
same characteristic, and this particular creation - at the Wessex
Ridgeway - did so in a particularly interesting manner.
I concluded that the
recurrences of this unique form of relationship constitute a subtle way
of confirming the chilling message I'd found in the formation of June
25. However, my attempts to process the torrent of data that was coming
my way denied me the time needed to complete the cited article. I've
therefore decided to present a limited analysis of the Wessex Ridgeway
formation now even though, in the absence of the quoted work,
which I hope to finish soon, what I expose will not reveal the answer to
certain fundamental questions that will be raised.
I'll be using the Fig. below, and I've gratefully incorporated into it
the CCC drawing by 'TB'; it's not intended to be to scale and is merely
a symbolic representation of the formation:-
ANALYSIS
Part 1: the model
As soon as I realised
that the dominant structure is accompanied by the three roughly formed
crosses [together with a small circle, nearby] I suspected that the
arrangement is again linked to the above cited Silbury Hill formation,
as I'll shortly explain, and it didn't take me long to prove that that
is indeed the case. But I could also see that the edifice nearby
possessed some rather interesting features of its own. …
It was clear that the
13 ostensibly orbiting spheres encompass a central circle
[the perimeter of which is partially obscured by the formation's 3
large, triangle-like areas of flattened crop, not shown below] that
displays a total of 4 isolated areas of standing crop, thus:-
And this intimacy
between the numbers 4 & 13 - in the context of a circle,
or circles - was a phenomenon I was very familiar with. …
Those of you who've
read Les Sentiers des Dieux, Pathways of the Gods should recall
that, in the Appendix, I describe a number of remarkable properties of
the following arrangement of the first 17 consecutive primes
[headed by the supreme prime 1], split into groups of 4
& 13, which my research, using ancient sources, together with
those associated with the mystery of Rennes-le-Château [which Dan
Brown's The Da Vinci Code was based on], had exposed:-
At the overt level, a
product can be inferred from this … 4x13 = 52 …
which can represent the number of full weeks in an earth year,
expressed as 4 seasons of 13 weeks … although it's also
the case that 52 is the quota of teeth a normal human being grows
in a lifetime, spanning from childhood to adulthood - which is again
linked to a 4 [i.e. 2 upper lots and, 2 lower].
But a set of more
subtle properties derive from the fact that the sums of the two depicted
sets of primes are - 11 & 371 - respectively, where the
first of these numbers, 11, is the 6th prime [a
relationship that can be expressed as: 6 is the prime rank of
11], thus:-
 Fig.
4
The 371 minus the 11
yields - 360 - the exact quota of degrees defined to be in a
circle.
The 371 minus the 6
yields - 365 - the exact number of full days in an earth
year.
6 juxtaposed with 371
infers - 6371 - an up-to-date value, in km, of the earth's mean
radius: it's the geometric mean radius of the WGS 84 ellipsoid,
accurate to the nearest metre.
My suspicion that the
formation - with its concentric circles, and its 13 orbiting
spheres - was alluding to these key properties of our planet was
supported when I examined the respective arrangements of the cited
spheres. …
The quotas in the 3
orbits, starting from the outer, are … 5, 3 & 5
… thus:-
And it was apparent
that the expression 5p+3p+5p [= 5th prime+3rd
prime+5th prime] yields another prime … 17
[= 7+3+7] … the tally of entries in the described 4+13
arrangement.
But the alternative
way of counting the orbiting spheres - by looking at their
presence in the areas that exist between the central circle and the 3
triangle-like projections of flattened crop - yields quotas of 4,
5 & 4, thus:-
And the expression
4p+5p+4p again yields … 17 [= 5+7+5].
So each of the two
ways of counting the 13 orbiting spheres leads us, through
an elementary and consistent process, to the prime 17, which, in
conjunction with 13 itself, has the cited key role in replicating
the important earth parameters I've described, including the value [in
km] of its up-to-date mean radius: 6371, the digits of which also
add up to 17.
Any lingering doubts
about the relevance of these observations dissipated when I noted that
other dominant characteristics of the field structure embody the means
of generating another simple and elegant expression of the cited
planetary factor. …
I've already
explained the significance of the fact that the formation's central
circle displays a total of 4 isolated areas of standing crop,
thus:-
It's the case,
however, that these 4 areas are demarcated by both the cited circle and
a triangle, each of which is comprised of flattened crop. The
triangle of flattened crop, then - with its 3 vertices -
is intimately linked to the encompassing circle of flattened crop
i.e. those 3 vertices are disposed on the circle.
If we now number the
vertices, 1-2-3, in the same way that we numbered
the 4 cited areas of standing crop, 1-2-3-4,
we've produced two sequences that add up to 6 and 10,
respectively. But if we take cognisance of the described intimacy that
exists between the triangle's vertices, which give us the 6, and
the circle, which could represent the numeral zero, it doesn't
require a giant leap of imagination to see that a 60 could be
inferred, together with the 10, thus:-
The significance of
this ostensibly trivial relationship between these closely linked
numbers and the formation is that the product of the 60th
and 10th primes [i.e. 277x23] yields
another manifestation of:-
6371
the cited
geometric mean radius, in km, of the up-to-date earth model
And as the depicted
circle was closely involved in the process whereby this pivotal,
geodetic number was computed, I realised that it would make sense if
that circle had been intended to define not just the radius
6371 km but a sphere of that exact size i.e. a spherical
earth model, of radius 6371 km [an artefact that I first
encountered - and started using - long before 2013!], as shown below:-
 Fig.

The accurate
terrestrial calculations I shall soon undertake, involving the current
formation, then, will be based on this clearly defined earth model.
Part 2: the other
side of the structure
We know that, on the
periphery of the formation, we see a curious triplication of a figure
that resembles the letter X, with a minuscule circle nearby, as
shown in my idealised Fig. below:-
The immediate
interest I had in this odd arrangement, which I referred to near the
beginning of this article, is explained in the following two paragraphs.
…
My investigation of
the Silbury Hill formation, which I alluded to earlier, revealed that
its pentagonal arrangement of ogham glyphs is also reflected in two of
its more subtle attributes. And 72 [the angle, in degrees, which
each side of a regular pentagon subtends at the centre], expressed as
its corresponding prime, 353 [= 72p], is the number that
the respective attributes were based on. In particular, both the
formation's radius [measured in a horizontal plane] and its centre's
horizontal displacement from the estimated centre point of the ancient
monument nearby are tied to this 353 [as I'll demonstrate when
the treatise I'm preparing is ready].
Knowing, then, that
X is the 24th letter of the alphabet that's in
common use in the UK, where the formation appeared, I couldn't fail to
notice that if each one is labelled with a 24, the full set of
such labels would add up to - 72 - the very number that had
played the cited central role at the earlier formation. I therefore had
an almost instant suspicion that this whole structure is again closely
tied to what I'd uncovered at the Silbury Hill circle, and when I dug
just a little deeper I was left in no doubt about the matter. ...
I was now drawn to
the fact that although the X's had been formed in a seemingly imprecise
way the first of them [counted from the left, as earlier depicted] had
an appearance that was only too familiar [having once taught mathematics
in a Comprehensive School]:-
It looked as if its
creator had started writing a tick, signifying 'correct', and had
then changed it to an 'X', signifying 'wrong', something that even the
best teachers are obliged to do from time to time, and I concluded that
this peculiarity must have been created for a good reason. Indeed, my
suspicion that we'd been expected to recognise this tick
component of that one X was supported when I considered another anomaly
- relating to the next letter. This strangest looking X of the three
displays a conspicuous kink in one of its arms and it was clear that
this feature starts where the adjacent, long arm of the tick
would cut it, if extended. Furthermore, the dislocation in the cited
letter's arm is in the direction of movement that would occur if the
tick alongside it was being drawn i.e. upwards and to the right [as
viewed], as shown below:-
It seemed feasible,
then, that the bizarre, kinked arm, of the middle X, represented a
device that had been intended to confirm a special role - within the
formation - for the tick next to it. It therefore occurred to me
that the word we use to represent the concept, TICK, may embody some
information that's relevant to my investigation - and it wasn't hard to
find what it is. …
When its four letters
are again apportioned numbers that represent their respective positions
in our 26-lettered alphabet they yield a total value of, 43 [=
20+9+3+11], which is a prime. And having encountered this concept
of a prime number, again, I noted that the 43rd prime,
181, exhibits an exceedingly interesting relationship with 24,
the value of the 'X' that the tick is embodied within i.e. 181+24 equals
… 205 … which is the day of the year, in our Western calendar,
that the formation was first reported i.e. July 24, as shown below:-
When I now took
cognisance of the fact that the tick is also a component of the sequence
of all 3 'X's', I uncovered what appeared to be a simple link to another
relevant date: when the quoted value of TICK, 43, is taken from the 72,
we obtain … 29 … and it happens to be the case that 29 days
before the cited 205th day [i.e. July 24] was June 25
[i.e. day 176], the very day of the year that the aforementioned
Silbury Hill formation was first reported, thus:-
I was now fascinated
by the fact that the last relationship appeared to be linking the
numbers 29 & 72 through a word, tick, which is
closely associated with the concept of correct. And as I knew
that the first of the two, 29 [the 11th prime], is a
defining characteristic of the array of the first 17 primes I'd started
with [apart from actually being its 11th entry]:-
1-2-3-5
- 7-11-13-17-19-23-29-31-37-41-43-47-53
i.e. these primes
have 29 digits [there are 5 single-digit entries and, 12 double],
my attention was again drawn to that sequence, and I soon exposed
something of considerable interest. …
The sum of the
all-important [in the current context] 17 primes, 382, exceeds
29 by … 353 … which happens to be the 72nd
prime. In other words, it was clear that the cited sum of the first 17
primes can be expressed as:-
29
+ 353
And as I knew that a
circle, that had appeared 29 days before this one, had had a
relationship with Silbury Hill involving the number 353 i.e. the
distance from the latter's estimated centre to the centre of the cited
formation was 353 metres [detailed in the article I'm writing] I
was curious as to what the intimacy I'd now found between these numbers
29 and 353 meant: was it just confirming what I already
knew about the Silbury Hill circle or, also providing me with new
information about the edifice under scrutiny?
Part 3: a defining moment
Following my survey
of the Wessex Ridgeway formation, I soon discovered an expression of the
paired numbers I'd found highlighted in my analysis, 29 and
353. I first noticed that the centre point of the main structure and
the centre of the unique and important cross with the tick [its
centre having been defined as 'the centre of the area of intersection of
its two arms'] are disposed on the same line of latitude [insofar as I
could determine with my GPS unit]*, as depicted in the following Fig.,
where only 7 key points in the geometry are shown - also note that the
tractor tracks can't be used to locate the points because they are of a
preceding year:-
I then identified a
more profound relationship between the two depicted centre points. …
The midpoint of the
line joining them is displaced from the estimated centre of Silbury
Hill's summit by the following dimension [measured on the cited earth
model]:-
29x353
metres
[= 10,237
metres]
- as illustrated in
the Fig. below:-
And I'd emphasise,
here, that, although the field point's coordinates were not determined
with a precision GPS instrument, the measurement from it to a
point that's, at worst, very near to the centre of Silbury Hill's
summit [which is hard to identify, in any case] will be 10,237 m.
What I had found,
then, can be summarised as follows. …
My careful survey of
a circle - that was encompassed by a pentagonal array of small,
glyph-like structures that resembled ogham characters and was first
reported on June 25 - revealed, amongst other things, that its centre
was displaced, from what I estimated to be the centre of Silbury Hill's
summit, by a dimension that is directly related to the pentagonal
number 72 i.e. 72p [= 353] metres [my
measurement was on a spherical earth model of radius 6371 km].
Then 29 days
later, on July 24, another structure is reported and a central point,
within it, is found to be exactly 29 times the preceding
displacement from the same area on the ancient monument [using the cited
earth model] i.e. 29x353 metres. And it's possible to see
that the factors 29 & 353 are being cleverly highlighted,
within the formation.
I later realised that
if we plot these 2 measurements on the same, small-scale map, we create
an elongated version of a glyph that I've mentioned a number of times in
this paper - a tick - as shown below, where I've rotated the
image so that the shape [in red] will be closer to its more usual
orientation in relation to an observer. I've also labelled the three
points at Silbury Hill, the ogham-glyph circle
and the Wessex Ridgeway formation H, O & W,
respectively:-
My attention was now
drawn to the fact that the points labelled O & W - at the
ogham-glyph edifice and the Wessex Ridgeway formation,
respectively - are both linked to the number 10. The point to
which the short line was drawn, O, resides at the centre of a
circle that comprises 10 isolated areas of standing crop [this
fact is highlighted in the article I've been alluding to]. And the
point, in the other formation, from which the long line was drawn, W,
is closely tied to a tick that was part of a letter X,
which we know can represent the Latin 10. In other words it was
evident that the two extremities of the large tick, O &
W, which aren't joined by a line, have close associations with the
number 10.
These simple
observations proved to be of interest when I decided to determine the
distance between the cited points, O & W [again measured
on the usual earth model]. …
If we label the 10
separate areas in the ogham-glyph circle 1 to 10, the sum of
those labels is … 55 [= 1+2+…+9+10] … and when this is multiplied
by the prime we derived earlier from TICK i.e. 181 [= 43p, where
43 is TICK's value], we obtain:-
9955
- which is the exact
value [expressed to the nearest metre], of the result I obtained when I
measured between points O & W, using my GPS-derived
coordinates of these points.
Note: in this case
the quoted, impressive correlation can't be relied on because I wasn't
using a high-precision GPS device. In the earlier measurements, to the
estimated centre of Silbury Hill's summit, the limitations of my machine
weren't critical because of the considerable size of the central area
and its ill-defined limits. O and W, however, are specific
points that exist within the two formations and if we wish to
make finely defined measurements between them using coordinates
the latter have to be specified to the appropriate level of accuracy.
It's clear, then,
that an extraordinary situation has now been exposed. …
A terrestrial
triangle has been described, involving Silbury Hill and two pivotal
points, within a pair of local crop circles, where the measured values,
expressed in metres, of each of the 3 sides can be seen to be tied to
factors that have prominent roles in the formations. …
From the centre of
the ogham-glyph circle to Silbury Hill is the
pentagonal … 72p [= 353].
From a more subtle
centre of the Wessex Ridgeway circle to the monument is … 29x72p.
From the 1st
circle's centre to the 2nd is … [1+2+...+9+10]x43p
[43 being TICK's value].
I'd add that, as
stated earlier, it's my contention that the Wessex Ridgeway edifice is
not the only one of this year's formations to exhibit such a concordance
with the ogham-glyph circle: I hope to release further analyses,
soon, which I believe prove the point conclusively. Indeed, it may be
the case that a number of the latest UK circles are also involved.
Conclusion
Until my findings
have been accepted and confirmed by others it would be inappropriate to
make any concrete deductions from them, especially as a number of my
other investigations, including that pertaining to the pivotal ogham-glyph
circle, of June 25, are not yet available. There's at least a
possibility, nevertheless, that my discoveries are going to herald a new
era in our perception of these thought-provoking creations.
Unfortunately, however, if what I believe I've also found in the cited
structure [strongly backed by relationships in later circles] is correct
we shall have very little time for celebrations: we'll have to focus our
energies on a matter that relates to the very survival of our species.

At the level of
precision of my geodetic calculations a conventional hand-held GPS
device is of insufficient accuracy for many applications. Suitable units
are available, which can also be used for more general surveying
purposes [with an accuracy of a few centimetres] - but for a hire charge
of about £400 per week.
