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

24 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:

• “In this respect, it is very notable that a similar solar eclipse occurred at the same lunar node 5766 years ago in the year 3751 BC (on June 19, proleptic Gregorian calendar).” calendar · Marc Smulders · source page
• “On the day of the formation this was also 50 × 9 × 13 tun (a tun = 360 days) as well as 90 × 90 Tzolkin-cycles ago (difference 8 days).” calendar · Marc Smulders · source page
• “It refers to the beginning of history, approximately the year 1 of the Hebrew calendar (5776 years ago) and connects this with a turning point in history short after the annular eclipse of September 1, this year.” calendar · Marc Smulders · source page
• “Mark the annular eclipse of September 1, it closes the circle that started some 5770 years ago.” astronomical · Marc Smulders · source page
• “The formation reflects the opposition of Neptune at the lunar south node and Jupiter at the north node.” astronomical · Marc Smulders · source page
• “On July 8, the date of the formation, the moon set conjunct Jupiter at the north node.” astronomical · Marc Smulders · source page
• “It possibly even predicts the end of history in the way we know it.” prediction · Marc Smulders · source page
• “The crop circle formation tells us that the circle, which started some 5770 years ago, will close soon after the annular eclipse of September 1 and has a close relationship with the crop circle formation at Stonehenge, which appeared on the very same day and also relates to 3751 BC.” prediction · Marc Smulders · source page
• “The poor construction of this crop circle suggests it is manmade.” authorship_human · Kenneth Heck · source page
• “The location at the Long Barrow shows a close relationship with the very past.” landscape · Marc Smulders · source page
• “The Long Barrow predates Stonehenge: the construction started about 3600 BC.” landscape · 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 5dba499e— 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.
