2006 Rollright Stone Circle formation
|
Reconstruction of the 2006 Rollright Stone Circle formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed nonagon (regular 9-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 3. |
| Draw all nine inner diagonals of nonagon 2 (to every fourth angular point). |
| 4. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the second set of intersections of diagonals 3, as shown. |
| 5. |
| Construct the inscribed nonagon of circle 4, pointing down. |
| 6. |
| Copy circle 1 to the lower angular point of nonagon 5. |
| 7. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 6 at the upper side. |
| 8. |
| Construct the inscribed nonagon of circle 7, pointing up. |
| 9. |
| Copy circle 1 nine times, to the angular points of nonagon 8. |
| 10. |
| Only circles 9 are required for the reconstruction. |
| 11. |
| Leave out parts invisible in the formation itself. |
| 12. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 13. |
| ...or to flattened crop. This finishes the reconstruction of the 2006 Rollright Stone Circle formation. |
| 14. |
| The final result matches fine with the aerial image. |
