Crop Circles, Gods and Their Secrets: History of Mankind Written in the Grain [Paperback]

Robert Boerman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2004

A Dutch crop circle researcher decodes recent crop circles applying ancient Sumerian and numerology. In this engaging, well-illustrated book, both scientific and historical, the author links two separate crop circles, both near Alton Barnes in England, each containing an old Hebrew inscription and a Double Helix. They yield the name of the 'maker', his message, important facts and the summary of human history. This information finally cracks the crop circle code, which communicates the true history of mankind and the return of the 12th Planet. Read who the gods were and how they are still here to prepare us for the coming dimensional transformation in 2012. Chapters include:

* The Seven Seals of Atlantis

* Planet X: Nibiru

* The Cross

* Symbol of Nibiru

* Genetic Manipulation

* The Sexagesimal System of Numbers

* Is the Great Pyramid Older than 10,450 BC?

* 12 Strands of DNA?

* 52: The Game of Thoth

* Tellurium

* Gematrian Numbers

* A Return of the Gods in 2012?

* Proof of a 12th Planet?

About the Author

Robert Boerman, who was born in 1963, has been interested in all things common and uncommon from childhood. In 1997 he discovered his first crop circle and has been intrigued by the phenomenon ever since. Because of his universal interests, he is the first to combine hitherto-unrelated items in this, his first book.

This review is from: Crop Circles, Gods and Their Secrets: History of Mankind Written in the Grain (Paperback)

This is a book that posits that crop circles are the creation of Ptah, the Ancient Egyptian creator god of Memphis. Specifically, the author believes that Ptah is trying to communicate to the Earth and its inhabitants that we are undergoing a physical change. According to the author this shift will return our DNA to its previous 12 strands, rather than the current 2 strands.

His basis for believing this DNA manipulation is happening now rests largely on his assumption that the number of circles in certain crop formations can be converted into letters and words of the Hebrew language. Because the Hebrew language is simultaneously syllabic, vocabularic and numeric, the author associates the number of patterns directly with Hebrew words. So, for example, the author takes the 89 circles in one crop circle formation and proceeds to go crazy with verbal possibilities. First 89 is converted into the word associated with 8. Then 9. Then the mirror image of the numbers are converted. But 8 + 9 = 17 so the word for 17 is used. The actual length of certain formations becomes radically significant to the author. And he explains that certain Platonic sacred numbers are contained in the measurements of the Circles. And Gematrian numbers, too. And, and, and...to me this is "pattern recognition" run horribly awry. What I mean by that is that there are literally dozens of pages of mathematical manipulations that seem like a data mining exercise extraordinaire. Because the author wants to find something in the crop circles he finds it.

But as readers we don't find anything of substance out. Instead we are treated to a meandering narrative with many disparate threads that are never satisfactorily linked together. Ugh! This book could have stood a good editor. As it is, it feels like the author's personal notebooks of crop circle noodlings printed verbatim. Double ugh! If there is a spiritual question, the author feels the mathematics he has uncovered in the crop circles contains the answer. In my opinion, this stretches credulity.

I give the book 2 stars because I do feel that the crop circles contain important information and I appreciate the author sharing with the public his beliefs. However, I think this book falls far short of demonstrating that the author has discovered anything other than the complex inner workings of his own mind.

Quite a bold effort at unraveling the crop circle phenomena, written by an enthusiast, not a debunker or professional scholar. He assembles evidence to postulate that crop circles are not merely decorative, but contain specific messages, or prophecies, encoded into their designs. For the most part, these messages are connected with the transformation of human DNA to allow a dimensional, or frequency, shift to occur. This concept will be a familiar one to New Agers who know it as 'ascension". There may be something to this, but the author falls way short of proving his case.
