Older civilizations on earth have left us symbolic drawings to decipher, although we speak common languages. In Peruvian desert of Nazca lines, drawings of hummingbird and spider have been linked with ancient rituals akin to megalithic observatories like the Stonehenge. Alternatively, as the designs are obvious only from very high above, were they carved by our ancestors wanting to extend an invite to outer space visitors?
Yet if extraterrestrials are involved, is it possible they are trying to tell or teach us a thing or two through the common tool of geometry understood by intelligent species, hoping we can crack the code? Come to think of it, geometry is when art meets mathematics and any advanced or evolved race would have integrated abstract or creative thought with logic or reason in their communication métier. For instance, this message was binary coded into a crop art appearing in UK in 2002. Can this simplistic message have another meaning?
NASA once beamed a binary coded message into space from the Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico in 1974, containing information such as our decimal numbers, our DNA’s chemical elements- nucleotides, double helix pattern, a picture of a human, the position of Earth in the solar system and design of the radio telescope used for beaming the message. In 2001, a similar crop design appeared literally stamped on a field near the Chilbolton radio telescope in Hampshire, as if responding to our original message. Take a shot at deciphering that!
