Reconstruction of the 2008 Avebury Stone Avenue formation | ||
| 1. | 
| Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. | 
| Construct a "two-points" circle, by defining the end-points of a centerline, one of which coincides with the center of circle 1, the other with the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline. |
| 3. | 
| Copy circle 2 to the center of circle 1. |
| 4. | 
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 2, tangent to circle 3 at the lefthand side. |
| 5. | 
| Construct a circle centered at the lefthand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 3 at the righthand side. Circles 4 and 5 together make up a "Vesica Pisces", circle 3 being its central circle. |
| 6. | 
| Draw the connecting line between the lower intersections of circle 1 with circles 4 and 5. |
| 7. | 
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 6. |
| 8. | 
| Copy circle 7 to the center of circle 5. |
| 9. | 
| Copy circle 2 to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. |
| 10. | 
| Construct a "two-points" circle, with one point at the center of circle 8, the other point at the righthand intersection of circle 8 and the horizontal centerline. |
| 11. | 
| Construct a "two-points" circle, with one point at the center of circle 8, the other point at the lefthand intersection of circle 8 and the horizontal centerline. |
| 12. | 
| Construct two inscribed equilateral triangles of circle 9, one pointing to the left, one to the right. |
| 13. | 
| Construct a circle, passing through the upper and lower mutual intersections of triangles 12, and passing through the righthand intersection of circle 9 and the horizontal centerline. |
| 14. | 
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 9, tangent to circle 13 at the lefthand side. Circle 13 makes up one half of a "Vesica Pisces" inscribed in circle 9, circle 14 being its central circle. The radius of this circle is one third the radius of circle 9. |
| 15. | 
| Copy circle 14 to the center of circle 10. |
| 16. | 
| Copy circle 14 to the center of circle 11. |
| 17. | 
| The final reconstruction is based on circles 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15 and 16. |
| 18. | 
| Remove all superfluous parts. |
| 19. | 
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 20. | 
| or to flattened plants. This will finish the reconstruction of the 2008 Avebury Stone Avenue formation. |
| 21. | 
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
