Reconstruction of the Rollright Stone Circle 2-07-2006 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. High resolution dwf-file | |||
12. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
13. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop. This finishes the reconstruction of the Rollright Stone Circle formation of 2-07-2006. High resolution dwf-file | |||
