In late July,  a startlingly large crop formation was discovered near Wayland Smithy. The formation contains more circles than any discovered in the past seven years -- 73 main circles and 168 "grapeshot." The 241 circles form an unusually square formation which lends itself to a number of interpretations.
&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;
The Mayan interpretation in particular seems quite strong, leading mathematic researcher Chris Thomson to request "anyone with knowledge in this field to take my findings and try to relate them to the Maya and their mythology and mathematics."
&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;
Thomson's initial findings can be found in Crop Circle Connector's &lt;A title=" Wayland Smithy, July 2008" target="_blank" href="http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2008/wayland/wayland2008a.html" class="external"&gt;coverage&lt;/A&gt; (under "comments").

Transplanted from his pagan Irish origin, Brân " has become King of the island of Britain, crowned in London and has acquired the Christian epithet &lt;CITE&gt;bendigeid&lt;/CITE&gt;, 'Blessed'....He led an expedition to a foreign land and was victorious.  Nevertheless, he was wounded in the foot with a poisoned javelin, and, though no causal nexus is mentioned, the islands of Ireland and Britain were rendered desolate.  Brân commanded his followers to cut off his head and to travel with it, first to Harlech and then to the island of Grassholm.  Obeying his commands, they spent seven years at Harlech, regaling themselves with meat and drink. Then, setting out for Grassholm, they found there a fair royal place, a great hall, overlooking the sea.  That night they spent there without stint, and we may infer that they continued to feast, as they had at Harlech, for eighty years, in the company of the uncorrupted head of Brân.  This was called the Hospitality of the Wondrous Head."&lt;BR /&gt;     - Roger Sherman Loomis, &lt;EM&gt;The Grail, From Celtic Myth to Christian Symbol&lt;/EM&gt;
