Titolo: Crop cinesi antichi?

One of the first documented reports of a crop circle formation - the
unexplained geometric designs that occur in fields of wheat and corn -
appeared in 1678 Stirlingshire, Scotland. But this phenomenon was largely
ignored until the 1970s and 80s when formations began to appear with
increasing frequency around the globe. Today most countries - with the
exception of China - are said to have experienced crop circle phenomena.
Yet is China really devoid of these unusual creations? Certainly, if someone
or something is trying to communicate with mankind through patterns carved
into crops, China's sizable population could not be ignored.
Western experts have obviously failed to carefully consider the data from
this country. One only has to refer to the work of Zhang Hui, a research
fellow at the Xinjiang Museum in Urumqi, to find evidence that suggests
China - with its long history - experienced crop circle phenomena long
before any other civilization on the planet.
Zhang claims to have harvested more than 20 stone patterns appearing to
match crop circle formations from other countries, but pre-dating them by up
to 3,000 years.
After discovering several of these stone circle patterns, which range from
simple circles to more elaborate shapes, in the grasslands of Qinghe County
beside the Sino-Mongolian border, Zhang was intrigued. He quickly headed to
Beijing to consult Chinese translations of reference works by British crop
circle experts.
He was amazed by the similarities.
Zhang believes the primitive people of the region, after witnessing the
formation of actual crop circles, concluded that the designs were a form of
communication from the gods and responded in kind to the divine messages by
placing rocks in the shape of the circles.
For Zhang, these stone arrangements prove China has experienced crop circle
phenomena - possibly more recently than imagined.
According to Zhang, one rare eyewitness described seeing a crop circle
appear in a Northeast China field in only a short time while he was in the
company of Red Guards. However, as the event occurred during the "cultural
revolution" (1966-76), when such superstition was illegal, the account went
undocumented.
If crop circles are an attempt at communication from an unknown source, then
what is this source and who is supposed to receive the message?
Humans, being ego-centric creatures, naturally assume the messages hidden in
the crop circles are meant for mankind. But what about the other species
inhabiting our planet. As in Douglas Adam's novel, "So long and thanks for
all the fish" - where dolphins were actually alien observers studying the
human race as a psychologist studies rats in a maze - humans may not be the
most advanced species on the earth.
Possibly, the messages are meant for the legions of cockroach species which
inhabit the darker corners of our daily life. After all, following mankind's
inevitable self-destruction in a nuclear holocaust, cockroaches will be the
only creatures left alive.

come, no, e sicuramente questi insetti sanno aprezzare le forme
geometriche :o)

è bello sognare per chi riesce a farlo metterei la firma

 Ciao, Jasmine
Fico quello che dici, da qualche tempo ho cominciato a pensarlo anch'io,
poco importa se  vero o falso l'importante è credere in qualcosa di bello

 poco importa se  vero o falso l'importante è credere in qualcosa di bello
ti correggo secondo la mia visuale: poco importa se vero o falso,
l'importante è credere in qualcosa e stop, "bello" diventa troppo relativo a
seconda dei punti di vista :)
M.

 non è un comportamento scorretto, dai, per piacere
Molloy, anche questa volta devo constatere la tua incapacita'
a capire anche le cose piu' evidenti.
Peccato!!

 più elementari.
Tralascio tutto il resto perche' mi pare scorretto continuare
e anche perche' ti reputo incapace di capire quello che
dico, ma solo questo vorrei precisare: in vita mia non ho
mai sentito dire di uno che "se ne frega della regola"!!
In italiano, caro Molloy, non si sottilizza tanto come vorresti
tu e se uno viola anche una sola regola si dice tranquillamente
che "non rispetta le regole".
Capito?

 che "non rispetta le regole". Capito?
Solo nel tuo mondo, nel resto della Terra ci si esprime utilizzando piů di
sei parole del vocabolario. Solo nel tuo mondo uno puň essere accusato di
violare le regole, anche le piů elementari (parole tue), per poi intendere
tutt'altro livello di cose. Infine postare una news in inglese, che come
tale č un episodio sporadico e necessario per riprendere la notizia nella
sua completezza, non č da considerarsi comportamento scorretto, un mio
eventuale insulto a gentili richieste lo sarebbe stato, considerando poi che
fin da subito ho puntualizzato la sicura disponibilitŕ a riportare la stessa
notizia in italiano appena la incrocio, beh, chiudiamo sta sceneggiata. Fine
dell'inutile flame direi
M.

 replicare nei miei confronti? No, allora impara ad esprimerti
Impara l'italiano.
