Reconstruction of the Martinsell Hill 7-07-2018 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed pentagon (regular 5-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing down. | |||
3. | ![]() | Draw the five diagonals of pentagon 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Draw the five diagonals of the pentagon enclosed by diagonals 3, and extend these lines upto pentagon 2 in both directions. Number the intersections with pentagon 2 clockwise 1 - 10, starting at the top left. | |||
5. | ![]() | Draw the five diagonals of the pentagon enclosed by diagonals 4, and extend these lines upto pentagon 2 in both directions. Number the intersections with pentagon 2 clockwise 11 - 20, starting at the top left. | |||
6. | ![]() | Draw five connecting lines between the following pairs of numbered intersections: 11 and 18, 12 and 15, 13 and 20, 14 and 17, and 16 and 19. | |||
7. | ![]() | Draw five connecting lines between the following pairs of numbered intersections: 1 and 8, 2 and 5, 3 and 10, 4 and 7, and 6 and 9. | |||
8. | ![]() | Draw five connecting lines between the following pairs of numbered intersections: 1 and 4, 2 and 9, 3 and 6, 5 and 8, and 7 and 10. | |||
9. | ![]() | Complete the ten small, peripheral pentagrams (regular 5-pointed stars) by drawing every three respective connecting lines, as shown. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
10. | ![]() | Complete the five small pentagrams, in between pentagrams 9, by drawing every two respective connecting lines, as shown. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
11. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of the pentagon enclosed by lines 5. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
12. | ![]() | Copy circle 11 to the upper intersection of circle 1 and the vertical centerline. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 12 at the upper side. | |||
14. | ![]() | Circle 13, and lines 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
15. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
16. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
17. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Martinsell Hill formation of 7-07-2018. pdf-file | |||
