Was Quetzalcoatl the crop artist at West Kennett Long Barrow on August 13, 2013? Some remarkable details of that amazing crop picture!  

There have been many Mayan-style crop pictures in England or elsewhere in recent years. Several of those crop pictures showed an end-date for the Mayan Long Count calendar of December 21 or 23, 2012 (see time2011m or time2007c or Crop-circle-shows-orbital-locations-of-planets-on-December-23-2012 or Santena 2012). Other crop pictures have shown three traditional symbols for the legendary Mayan leader Quetzalcoatl as his “feathered serpent”, “Venus” or “jester’s hat” motifs (see what-do-modern-crop-circles-mean or crop circle meanings or time2007k or time2007e).  

An important culmination of all these Mayan-style crop pictures came on July 5, 2009, when a magnificent “Quetzalcoatl headdress” appeared in crops near Silbury Hill. It showed many ancient Mayan symbols, including a clever “stela” which told dates from 33 BC to 191 AD when Quetzalcoatl seemingly ruled as a king in ancient central America (see time2010f or www.youtube.com).  

It was with some interest, therefore, that we again saw symbols for Quetzalcoatl appear in the new “triangular UFO” crop picture at West Kennett Long Barrow on August 13, 2013 (see www.youtube.com):  

The very center of this new crop picture resembles his famous “quetzal feathered headdress”. On each side of the center we can see six wedge-like segments. Those nearly match the seven-plus-seven “quetzal feathers” drawn in crops near Silbury Hill on July 5, 2009. Two “broad arrows” appear once again, as does a “lunar crescent” which has been turned upside down from before.  

Close-up ground photographs reveal six nearly identical wedges of crop on each side of the centre. One of those wedges has been split lengthwise into two parts to make “seven”. A small standing tuft has been placed close to where the final “wedge” has been finely split. That “split” wedge lines up perfectly with a large, offset “lunar crescent” (see groundshots): 

Another ground image of the same detailed feature is shown below, from a different perspective: 

The entire offset feature points toward nearby West Kennett Long Barrow, while its large “triangular UFO” points slightly to one side (see the second photo down on west kennett longbarrow 2013l):  

This is very curious indeed, and so far beyond local human crop-circle-making skills as to be laughable. The overall precision of this new crop picture, when laid down in the field relative to certain landscape features (West Kennett Long Barrow or Silbury Hill), seems remarkable. One of its triangular faces also points to Silbury Hill in the distance (see the third photo down on west kennett longbarrow 2013).  

Those six-plus-seven wedges could represent 6 + 7 = 13 baktuns from the new Mayan Long Count calendar which began on December 22 or 24, 2012. Alternatively, they could represent the “12th month” of some calendar year, for example December of 2013.  

A similar motif with a “lunar crescent”, two “broad arrows” and “wedges” has been drawn in crops twice before (see the third slide down on comments). At Wayland’s Smithy on August 9, 2005, we saw 2 x 8 = 16 wedges used to represent a binary-hexadecimal code for comet Holmes in 2007 (see www.lucypringle.co.uk or time2007g or time2007h). At East Kennett on July 22, 2011, we saw 17 wedges used to represent the number of months left until a Mayan Long Count calendar would end on December 21 or 23, 2012 (see www.youtube.com). Thus the “number of wedges” in its most recent use symbolized “months”.  

Finally as a humorous feature, the crop artist has drawn an image of himself “upside down”, to match an upside “lunar crescent” relative to before in 2009! Various parts of the new crop picture seem to represent his “eyes, nose or beard”:  

Who was Quetzalcoatl, and why might he be important to us today? Hundreds of north or south American legends tell of a white-skinned, bearded man who traveled among different tribes to bring peace 2000 years ago. This spiritual hero was best known as “Quetzalcoatl”. Some of his other names were “Kate-Zahl” (Toltec) or “Kulkulkan” (Maya). All of these various names mean “bird-serpent” in the local language, after the quetzal bird and a coatl snake.  

In Book X of his History, Fray Bernardino de Sahagun describes the departure of certain wise men who had been the priests of Quetzalcoatl at Teotihuacan: "When they departed the wise men said: ‘Our lord, the protector of all, says you shall remain. He goes, leaving you this land. Our lord goes away, and we will go with him. Yet he will come again to do his duty. When the world becomes oppressed, he will come to bring it to an end’ " (see www.rexresearch.com).  

Our best known likeness of Quetzalcoatl comes from La Venta Stela 19 around 100 AD. This small sculpture seems to show a European-looking man wearing a space helmet, and piloting a “flying snake” or “feathered serpent” (see en.m.wikipedia.org). He is drawn there holding the same purse-like device that Ninurta was shown holding in Assyria 900 BC (see commons.wikimedia.org).  

We can also see a large sculpture of him from La Venta around 100 AD, meeting the natives in his three-lobed jester’s hat, which has appeared often schematically in crops (see www.bluffton.edu).  

The academic archeologists say that La Venta Stela 19 shows an image of their “corn god”. If so, how did the Olmecs and Mayans suddenly rise up out of the jungle to build great pyramids, start agriculture, or develop astronomy and mathematics, without any outside help? The conventional theory makes no sense, especially when we include the vast number of crop pictures which have shown Mayan or Quetzalcoatl themes. Whether he is a space traveler, time traveler, or from another dimension (or alternative Earth history) we do not know. Yet 2013 seems to be a year “One Reed” in which he promised to return, as the first year of a Mayan 52-year calendar. Keep an eye on the skies and look for triangular UFOs, especially in the Wiltshire area!
