Source records

What each source published, side by side. A row whose values differ across the sources is marked: the archive prints the disagreement rather than choosing a winner.

Texts

2 document(s), each attached to the record whose page hosts it. These are other people's words: quoted here in short attributed extract, with a link to the page that published each one in full.

Claims about this formation

17 claim(s) extracted by lexicon from the texts above, written by Kenneth Heck, Marc Smulders. A claim row is a record of what an author wrote, with the sentence verbatim. It is not evidence about the formation, and nothing here is tested on this page.

Up to 3 quote(s) per type, verbatim from the document:

• “The reason is that this refers to the transit of Mercury at the descending node that happened on March 9 to 10, -3113 (proleptic Gregorian calendar) in a very close conjunction with the Pleiades (the dates are different, but this is due to the precession of equinoxes and both dates refer to the same position in the true sidereal zodiac)!” calendar · Marc Smulders · source page
• “Moreover, the lunar phase on the day of the formation connects with the date that I identified as the very start of the Long Count, namely February 13, -3113. The fact that the time span between this event and the day of the formation is exactly 61 × 1040 lunar months is baffling, because 1040 = 4 × 260 and 260 lunar months is very close to 21 years and relates to the 260-coded time measurement of the Meso-American civilization.” calendar · Marc Smulders · source page
• “The World tree of the seventh Underworld was erected from March 19 until July 16, 1756. This means that again we find the relationship with the 260-coded time, because the date approximately halfway this time span (May 16, 1756) fell exactly 260 years before the formation creation date, as well as 365 tzolkin-cycles (Dreamspell).” calendar · Marc Smulders · source page
• “A comet has been moved out of orbit to impact Earth (the ring).” astronomical · Kenneth Heck · source page
• “The transit of Mercury; the fourth sun ends, the fifth sun starts” astronomical · Marc Smulders · source page
• “At a certain moment, I realized that the main reason for this very simple crop circle is that one week earlier, on May 9, a transit of Mercury at the descending node took place.” astronomical · Marc Smulders · source page

• “The mean reason for the reference to the past is that the fourth Sun will come to an end, while the manifestation of the fifth Sun will start in the very near future.” prediction · Marc Smulders · source page
• “The fact that the crop circle makers created the formation on May 16 and not on May 9, the day of the transit of Mercury, is related to the fact that on May 16 the sun was almost in a conjunction with the Pleiades.” authorship_et · Marc Smulders · source page

Geometry

2 diagram file(s) on this page. measured from the diagram itself, and experimental: the extractor's rotational order is right on 88.8 % of a 200-diagram hand-labelled set against a gate of 90 %, so read a number here beside the picture rather than instead of it.

Experimental, and marked ≈ wherever it appears. These numbers are read off a drawing, not off the field: the extractor's rotational order agrees with a hand-labelled set on 88.8 per cent of 200 diagrams against a gate of 90 per cent, its element count is within one on 97.5 per cent, and its ring count is not calibrated at all. Nothing in the analysis tree is derived from the rotational order while that gate is unmet.

Diagrams that look like these: cc e0e0c5eb— the nearest by perceptual hash. The whole archive is browsable by shape in the shape section, and this formation's own diagrams go straight into that grid: show them in the grid.
