The Crop Circle at Crooked Soley:
A Lesson on Circling the Square

The sacred numbers 792 and 504 are known esoterically as the “keys to creation,” numbers that supposedly aid the renewal of culture and human spirit, restoring life on earth to its natural state as a reflection of paradise. In 2002, these numbers were expressed as a rotating DNA symbol pressed into a field of wheat near the tiny hamlet of Crooked Soley in Wiltshire, England.

America’s Stonehenge:
New England’s Ancient Megalithic Complex

Stonehenge… The word conjures up images of a misty English plain, the sun slowly rising over towering standing stones, robed priests chanting to the moon, perhaps performing a bloody sacrifice. Although it does not bring to mind the forests of New Hampshire, this is where another Stonehenge is located, on a wooded hilltop in North Salem. The standing stones here are much smaller than at the circle in England, but they were erected at about the same time (4,000 years ago) and were aligned to mark the same celestial events.

China’s Caucasian Kingdom
With his blond beard, light-brown braids, and imposing height, the 3,000-year-old mummy called Cherchen Man (seen here) might easily be mistaken for a Viking, even though he was found in northwestern China. Thanks to him—and several hundred other mummies found in the Taklimakan Desert—scholars are now reconsidering conventional wisdom about Europe’s first contact with China. For it is now believed that 3,000 years before Marco Polo published his book on his contact with the Chinese—and 500 years before King Tut’s birth—there was a thriving Caucasian kingdom at China’s borders. But where did they come from and where did they go? A century after the first reports of Caucasian mummies in China, scholars have not yet found definitive answers to these compelling questions.
