On June 8, 2025, a new and intriguing crop circle appeared at Falkner Circle, near Avebury, Wiltshire, United Kingdom.
This 75-meter-wide formation in the field seemingly depicts the Sumerian representation of the Solar System, featuring 12 celestial bodies. Let me explain: today, our Solar System is recognized as having nine planets (including Pluto, because I’m old school), but the Sumerians included the Sun, the Moon, and, according to Zecharia Sitchin’s interpretation of Cylinder Seal VA 243, the mysterious planet Nibiru — making a total of twelve objects in their cosmic model.
This striking cylinder seal from the Akkadian period, dated between 2330 and 2150 B.C., depicts a king or deity seated on a throne, holding a plow. Two figures approach him, seeking an audience. The plow is an attribute associated with Ea/Enki, or possibly Enlil, who is described in some texts as the inventor of the plow.
Between the two figures, there is a six-pointed star surrounded by eleven spheres, and one final sphere set apart from the rest — positioned between the intercessor and the deity. Sitchin interpreted this separated body as Nibiru, the enigmatic twelfth planet in ancient Sumerian cosmology.
The resemblance to the crop circle is, at the very least, striking. According to Jerry Kroth, it shows a perfect combination of the image of a solar explosion—a very common and recurring theme in crop circles—and the idea of an intruding star, causing gravitational and energetic disturbances in the Sun and throughout the Solar System for a period of time.
A previous crop circle predicted that we would experience another Carrington-type event during the current solar cycle, meaning within the next 18 months.
It is remarkable that neither the Sumerians nor the Akkadians had a heliocentric cosmology. According to their beliefs, Shamash, the sun god, traveled across the sky from east to west every day and, at night, returned to the east by crossing the “Kur,” or the realm of the dead and spirits.
What led them to represent him as the axis of the Solar System? Moreover, without observational instruments, they could only identify five planets—not even the Pleiades, a star cluster of seven stars visible to the naked eye.
Returning to Wiltshire, we find another significant curiosity. In the hollow of the hill, between Kennet Avenue and a small fortification on the slope of Hackpen Hill, stands a solitary stone that was once part of what became known as the “Falkner Circle.” Partially excavated in 2002, it revealed several tombs and standing stones forming a circle 36 meters in diameter, which is believed to have originally consisted of 12 stones.
Others have attempted to interpret the design of past crop circles in a technological sense, given its resemblance to the resonant cavity of a microwave magnetron core. Interestingly, this symmetrical toroidal matrix with 12 peripheral nodal orbs functions like a harmonic bioacoustic gateway at 528 Hz. This resonance is said to affect health, reducing tension and anxiety while influencing mood.
In any case, we are faced with a complete mystery.
