The DNA Connection

Around June 17, 1996, a crop circle appeared at Alton Barnes, Wiltshire. Researchers called it "The DNA crop circle," because it was a double helix type design. The formation was 648 feet in length --

In 2002, the serpent-like Mitochondrial DNA crop circle formation appeared at Crooked Soley. Some years later, Dan Brown and John Michell wrote a book about the formation, showing that it contained 1296 little diamonds within the snake-like pattern --

The number 1296 is, of course, twice 648, which was the length in feet of the 1996 DNA crop circle. There were 144 curved lines within the tube torus type shape, 72 in one direction, and 72 in the other, making up the net-like pattern, which resembles snake skin.

The twisted ladder type pattern, which resembles the double helix of DNA in a circular design, was composed of 504 little diamond shapes of standing crop. There were 792 little diamond shapes in the torus with laid down crops (504 + 792 = 1296).

The significance of these numbers were quite familiar to me by the time I read the Crooked Soley book, as indicated by previous parts of this article. Adding zeros to the end of the above numbers produces familiar results --

5040 -- factorial of 7 and combined earth-moon radius, related to Plato's Atlantis
7920 -- diameter of the Earth in miles
12960 -- half the number of years of precession, or six ages

Interestingly, Gematria literally means, "measuring the Earth." Two of the numbers above figure in the New Jerusalem Plan diagram --

The blue circle represents the Earth, with a diameter of 7920 miles. Each of the twelve yellow circles represents the Moon, with a diameter of 2160 miles. The perimeter of the red box around the Earth circle is 31680 miles (4 x 7920 = 31680).

The green ring circle, which passes through the centers of the twelve Moon circles, has a circumference of 31680 miles, the same distance as the perimeter of the red box around the Earth circle. This demonstrates squaring the circle, a problem proposed by ancient geometers. Exactly squaring the circle is impossible, unless an approximation of Pi is used. In this case, 22/7 is used as an approximation of Pi, sometimes called "Pyramid Pi." To figure the radius of the green ring circle, the radius of the Earth and the radius of the Moon are added --

3960 + 1080 = 5040

The calculation for the green ring circle circumference is then --

(2 x 22/7) x 5040 = 31680

The New Jerusalem plan diagram is based on the vision of Saint John the Divine in Revelation 21, and represents the order of the heavens made apparent on earth.

Another interesting calculation is the distance across the New Jerusalem, figured as --
