The historical evidence for the existence of crop circles is notably sparse, mainly limited to myth and folklore. This article delves into why we might lack historical accounts of crop circles, exploring factors such as medieval book burnings, the Crusades, and the ongoing intellectual agenda to suppress mysterious interpretations of crop circles.
Medieval Censorship and Destruction of Records
During the Crusades and the medieval period, there was significant censorship and destruction of texts that contradicted religious and social norms. Many documents were burned, especially those dealing with phenomena that could be interpreted as heretical or linked to devil worship. Given that crop circles could have been associated with supernatural or devilish activity, it is likely that records of such phenomena were destroyed alongside other censored materials. This period of suppression could explain why there are so few historical records of crop circles.
The “Mowing Devil” Pamphlet: A Rare Survivor
The “Mowing Devil” pamphlet from the 17th century is one of the earliest known references to a crop circle-like formation. It describes a pattern in a field attributed to a devilish intervention. While this pamphlet survived, many similar documents likely did not. The sensational nature of the “Mowing Devil” story might have preserved it, but it is probable that other, less dramatic accounts were lost over time. The pamphlet’s survival suggests that there were indeed other such phenomena recorded, but most were likely destroyed or forgotten.
Parallels with Other Historical Suppressions
This revisionism parallels the stance of establishment archaeologists who insist on traditional explanations for ancient structures like Gobekli Tepe and the Egyptian pyramids. Despite significant evidence suggesting advanced methods and knowledge, these scholars cling to outdated theories, such as hunter-gatherers building Gobekli Tepe or the pyramids being constructed with sand ramps and copper chisels. Similarly, the cover-up of the UFO phenomenon, now increasingly evident thanks to testimonies like that of David Grusch and Pentagon releases, reflects a broader trend of suppressing unexplained phenomena.
The lack of historical evidence for crop circles can be attributed to several factors, including medieval censorship, the destruction of records, and ongoing efforts to control the narrative around mysterious phenomena. The parallels with other areas of historical revisionism and suppression highlight a broader issue of intellectual agendas shaping our understanding of the past. As we continue to explore and investigate crop circles, it is crucial to remain open to new insights and consider the broader context of historical suppression and revisionism.
