8. | Copy circle 7 to the upper intersection of circle 5 and the vertical centerline. | |
9. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 3, tangent to circle 8 at the upper side. | |
10. | Copy circle 7 to the upper intersection of circle 3 and the vertical centerline. | |
11. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 3, tangent to circle 10 at the upper side. | |
12. | Construct the inscribed circle of hexagon 2. | |
13. | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 12, pointing down. | |
14. | Copy circles 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11, two times, to the other angular points of triangle 13. | |
15. | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 12, pointing up. | |
16. | Copy circle 7 four times, to the center of circle 1, and to the angular points of triangle 15. | |
17. | Copy circle 12 to the center of circle 3. | |
18. | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 17, pointing up. | |
19. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the righthand angular point of triangle 18. | |
20. | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 19, pointing to the right. | |
21. | Copy circle 7 six times, to the angular points of hexagon 20. | |
22. | Copy circle 7 to the lowest angular point of triangles 2. | |
23. | Copy circle 7 two times, to the upper lefthand and righthand angular points of triangles 2. | |
24. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 22 at the lower side. | |
25. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 3, passing through the intersection of the righthand side of triangle 4 and the lower side of hexagon 2. | |
26. | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 25 and the lower side of hexagon 2, tangent to circle 5 at the righthand side. | |
27. | Copy circle 26 to the righthand intersection of circle 9 and the lower side of hexagon 2. | |
28. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 3, tangent to circle 27 at the righthand side. | |
29. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 3, tangent to circle 22 at the upper side. | |
30. | Copy circles 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 25, 28, and 29, three times, to the top and the lower lefthand and righthand angular points of triangles 2. | |
31. | Copy circle 26 to the center of circle 22. | |
32. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 31 at the upper side. | |
33. | Circles 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 21, 22, 23, 24, 30, and 32, are used for the final reconstruction. | |
34. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. | |
35. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... | |
36. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2018 Mixon formation. | |
37. | The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
