Reconstruction of the
Hackpen Hill 8-07-2017 formation

1. Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines.

2. Construct the inscribed dodecagon (regular 12-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up.

3. Construct the inscribed circle of dodecagon 2.

4. Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 3, pointing to the right.

5. Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 3, pointing up.

6. Draw twelve rays, from the center of circle 1 to the angular points of hexagons 4 and 5.

7. Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing to the left.

8. Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing to the right.

9. Construct a circle centered at the midpoint of the righthand side of triangle 7, tangent to the righthand side of hexagon 5.

10. Copy circle 9 to the center of circle 1.

11. Construct the inscribed dodecagon of circle 10, pointing up.

12. Draw two lines, from the upper intersection of triangles 7 and 8 to the upper lefthand and righthand angular points of dodecagon 11.

13. Repeat step 12 five times, with respect to the other intersections of triangles 7 and 8, and the corresponding angular points of dodecagon 11, as shown.

14. Construct a circle centered at the top of dodecagon 11, passing through its upper righthand angular point.

15. Copy circle 14 six times, to the angular points of hexagon 5.

16. Circles 1, 3, and 15, lines 6, 12, and 13, triangles 7 and 8, and dodecagon 11, are used for the final reconstruction.

17. Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself.
