2023 Hetty Pegler's Tump Long Barrow formation
|
Reconstruction of the 2023 Hetty Pegler's Tump Long Barrow formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 3. |
| Construct a circle tangent to both upper sides of triangle 2 and tangent to circle 1 at the lower side. |
| 4. |
| Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing down. |
| 5. |
| Construct a circle tangent to both lower sides of triangle 4 and tangent to circle 1 at the upper side. Notice, that circles 3 and 5 make up a "Vesica Pisces": two equal circles passing through each other centers. |
| 6. |
| Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the upper intersection of circle 3 and the lower intersection of circle 5, both with the vertical centerline. |
| 7. |
| Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circles 3 and 5, passing through the upper intersection of circle 6 and the vertical centerline. |
| 8. |
| Copy circle 7 to the center of circle 1. |
| 9. |
| Construct the inscribed nonagon (regular 9-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 10. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of nonagon 9. |
| 11. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lower intersection of circle 10 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 1 at the lower side. |
| 12. |
| Copy circle 11 to the lower intersection of circle 8 and the vertical centerline. |
| 13. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 12 at the upper side. |
| 14. |
| Circles 1, 6, 8, 10, and 13, together, make up the final reconstruction. |
| 15. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 16. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2023 Hetty Pegler's Tump Long Barrow formation. |
| 17. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
