A new crop picture near Winterbourne Bassett on June 4, 2023 shows various stages of an upcoming “annular” solar eclipse, scheduled for October 14, 2023, which will pass directly over the ancient Mayan heartland  

As shown in the slide below, this new crop picture shows various stages of an “annular” solar eclipse: beginning with “first contact” between a “dark new Moon” and our “Sun” (on the left), leading to a “ring of fire” for the annular eclipse at its totality (on the right): 

Our Moon will lie slightly offset from the solar ecliptic on October 14, as it approaches our Sun to make “first contact”. This may be why the crop picture was drawn slightly-offset from crop tramlines. Planet Mercury will be aligned in Earth’s sky not far from the Moon, while Mars will be seen some distance to the other side of the Sun. 

The general style of this drawing resembles many other “astronomical pictograms”, which were drawn in crops during the early 1990’s (see time2007f ). It is also a quick-successor to another “annular eclipse” crop picture drawn in northern Italy on May 30, 2023 (see Cascina comments ).  

The largest symbol in this new crop picture (third in a row, counting from the left) resembles an ancient Mayan glyph which means “solar eclipse”: 

Indeed, that annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023 will pass directly over the Mayan heartland in central America (look at the “small red dot” for totality): 

The field location for this new crop picture is incredibly amusing, as shown in the next slide below. It was drawn (yellow rectangle) just above the “eye” (yellow circle) of a landscape “bird”, who seems to be LOOKING UP to watch the solar eclipse: 

Just to the left of that large “bird” shape in the landscape, we can see the ancient Mayan symbol for “solar eclipse” as posted above. “Light to dark” with outward rays from our “Sun” at its centre. 

That upcoming solar eclipse on October 14, 2023 could mark an event of considerable significance.  

The ancient Mayans, led by Quetzalcoatl (Kukulkan), would often study the dates of eclipses to find good “portents” for royal coronations, going to war, or other enterprises. Indeed the very name “Quetzal” means “bird”. Who do you think made this new crop picture? Would you like to take a guess?
