Reconstruction of the 2002 Windmill Hill formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing to the right. |
| 3. |
| Construct the circumscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing down. |
| 4. |
| Construct three other circumscribed equilateral triangles of circle 1, pointing up, to the right and to the left. |
| 5. |
| Construct the circumscribed circle of triangles 3 and 4. |
| 6. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 5, pointing to the right. |
| 7. |
| Construct another inscribed hexagon of circle 5, pointing up. |
| 8. |
| Draw 7 lines, each from the same point, the angular point of hexagon 2 down right (1), to the three angular points of hexagon 2 to the left of the vertical centerline (2), (5) and (8) respectively, to two intersections of hexagons 6 and 7 (3) and (7), and to angular points of hexagon 6 (6) and 7 (4). |
| 9. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon (regular 5-sided polygon) of circle 5, pointing to the right. |
| 10. |
| Construct 11 more inscribed pentagons of circle 5, such that one angular point of each coincides with a different angular point of triangles 3 and 4. Together with pentagon 9, their angular points divide circle 5 into 60 equal parts. |
| 11. |
| From the same point (1) as in step 8, draw 16 lines to 16 consecutive angular points of pentagons 9 and 10, as shown. |
| 12. |
| Replace lines 8 and 11 with double parallel lines at a short distance. (This distance has not been constructed!). |
| 13. |
| Copy and mirror lines 12 relative to the vertical centerline. |
| 14. |
| Trim away all parts of lines 12 and 13 outside the circular sector as shown. |
| 15. |
| Leave out all parts not visible in the formation. |
| 16. |
| Colour the areas corresponding to standing crop. |
| 17. |
| Copy coloured parts 16 five times and distribute evenly around the main center. This finishes the reconstruction of the Windmill Hill 2002 formation. |
| 18. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
