Reconstruction of the
2012 Cheesefoot Head formation
1. Draw an eight by eight grid of connected squares with sides horizontal and vertical.
2. Draw both diagonals of the lower lefthand square.
3. Construct the inscribed circle of the lower lefthand square.
4. Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing to the left.
5. Construct a circle, tangent to circle 3 at the righthand side, and tangent to both lefthand sides of triangle 4.
(This is the half of a Vesica Pisces pattern, dividing the horizontal centerline of circle 3 into three equal parts).
6. Construct a circle concentric to circle 3, tangent to circle 5 at the lefthand side.
7. Copy circle 5 to the center of circle 3.
8. Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 6, pointing in the upper righthand direction.
9. Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 8.
10. Copy circles 6, 7 and 9 sixty-three times, to the centers of all other squares of grid 1.
11. Construct four parallel, horizontal lines, tangent to circles 6 and 7 at both sides, and extending to the right upto lower righthand circles 10.
12. Copy lines 11 as a whole seven times, to the corresponding circles 10 in the other seven rows of grid 1.
13. Construct four parallel, vertical lines, tangent to circles 6 and 7 at both sides, and extending up to upper lefthand circles 10.
14. Copy lines 13 as a whole seven times, to the corresponding circles 10 in the other seven columns of grid 1.
15. Copy circle 7 four times, to the four angular points of grid 1.
16. Construct the circumscribed circle of circles 15.
17. Construct the circumscribed square of circle 16, sides horizontal and vertical.
18. Extend the upper side of the upper righthand square and the lower side of the lower righthand square of grid 1 to the right upto square 17.
19. Construct a circle concentric to circle 16, passing through the intersections of lines 18 and square 17.
20. Construct a circle passing through the intersections of upper line 11, righthand line 13, lower line 12 and lefthand line 14.
21. Copy circle 20 to the lower intersection of circle 19 and the righthand side of square 17.
22. Construct a circle concentric to circle 16, tangent to circle 21 at the upper lefthand side.
23. Copy circle 20 to the lower righthand angular point of grid 1.
24. Draw a horizontal line, tangent to circles 21 and 23 at the lower sides.
25. Copy circle 20 to the intersection of circle 22 and line 24.
26. Grid 1, circles 6, 7, 9, 10, 16 and 25, and lines 11, 12, 13, and 14, are used for the final reconstruction.
27. Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself.
28. Colour all areas corresponding to standing...
29. ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2012 Cheesefoot Head formation.
30. The final result, matched with the aerial image.
