Reconstruction of the 2024 Stonehenge Visitors Centre formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon (regular 5-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 3. |
| Draw the five rays of pentagon 2, from the center to the angular points. |
| 4. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of the lower righthand side of pentagon 2 and the horizontal centerline. |
| 5. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 4 and the upper ray 3, tangent to circle 1 at the upper side. |
| 6. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lower intersection of circle 5 and the upper ray 3, tangent to circle 4 at the upper side. |
| 7. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 6 at the lower side. |
| 8. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 7, pointing up. |
| 9. |
| Draw the five diagonals of pentagon 8. |
| 10. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of the pentagon enclosed by diagonals 9. |
| 11. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 4, pointing up. |
| 12. |
| Copy circle 10 five times, to the angular points of pentagon 11. |
| 13. |
| Copy circle 10 one more time, to its own intersection with the upper ray 3. |
| 14. |
| Construct a circle centered at the upper angular point of pentagon 8, tangent to circle 13 at the upper side. |
| 15. |
| Copy circle 14 four times, to the other angular points of pentagon 8. |
| 16. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the lower side of pentagon 8 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 7 at the lower side. |
| 17. |
| Copy circle 16 five times, to the angular points of pentagon 2. |
| 18. |
| Copy circle 16 one more time, to the lower intersection of circle 14 and the upper ray 3. |
| 19. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 18 at the lower side. |
| 20. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 19, pointing up. |
| 21. |
| Copy circle 10 five times, to the angular points of pentagon 20. |
| 22. |
| Construct a circle centered at the upper angular point of pentagon 2, tangent to upper circle 12 at the upper side. |
| 23. |
| Copy circle 22 five times, to the other angular points of pentagon 2, and to the center of circle 1. |
| 24. |
| Construct five pairs of parallel lines, parallel to rays 3, tangent to circles 22 and 23 at both sides. See details. |

| 25. |
| Circles 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, and 21, and lines 24, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 26. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 27. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 28. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2024 Stonehenge Visitors Centre formation. |
| 29. |
| The final result, matched with two aerial images. |
