Reconstruction of the Sugar Hill 1-08-2007 formation | |||||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
| 2. |
| Create a hexagram (regular six-pointed star), by constructing two circumscribed equilateral triangles of circle 1, one pointing to the left, one pointing to the right. | |||
| 3. |
| Copy circle 1 to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | |||
| 4. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 3 at the righthand side. | |||
| 5. |
| Construct the circumscribed hexagram of circle 4, in the same way as hexagram 2. | |||
| 6. |
| Copy circle 1 to the righthand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
| 7. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 6 at the righthand side. | |||
| 8. |
| Construct the circumscribed hexagram of circle 7, pointing to the right. | |||
| 9. |
| Copy circle 1 to the righthand intersection of circle 6 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
| 10. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 9 at the righthand side. | |||
| 11. |
| Construct the circumscribed hexagram of circle 10, pointing to the right. | |||
| 12. |
| Copy circle 1 to the righthand intersection of circle 9 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
| 13. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 12 at the righthand side. | |||
| 14. |
| Construct the circumscribed hexagon (regular six-sided polygon) of circle 13, pointing up. | |||
| 15. |
| Extend all sides of hexagram 2 (all sides of both triangles) in both directions, up to hexagon 14. | |||
| 16. |
| Extend all sides of hexagram 5 in both directions, up to hexagon 14. | |||
| 17. |
| Draw the three diagonals of hexagon 14 through the center. | |||
| 18. |
| Construct the circumscribed circle of hexagon 14. | |||
| 19. |
| (For clarity, the results of previous steps are removed temporarily). Construct the inscribed regular 36-sided polygon of circle 18, pointing to the right. Number the angular points counterclockwise, starting at the rightmost one just above the horizontal centerline, as shown. | |||
| 20. |
| Draw the diagonal of polygon 19, connecting angular points nrs. 2 and 11. | |||
| 21. |
| Extend diagonal 20 to the right, up to the horizontal centerline. | |||
| 22. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of line 21 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
| 23. |
| Extend diagonal 20 to the left, up to circle 22. | |||
| 24. |
| Repeat steps 20, 21 and 23 35 times, for all other corresponding pairs of angular points of polygon 19 (nine angular points apart), as shown. | |||
| 25. |
| Construct three circles (concentric to circle 1), through the second, third and fourth set (from outside) of mutual intersections of lines 24, as shown. | |||
| 26. |
| Construct a "two-points" circle, defined by the end-points of a centerline, with the points at the righthand intersections of hexagon 14 and circle 18 with the horizontal centerline. | |||
| 27. |
| Copy circle 26 to the righthand intersection of circle 22 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
| 28. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 27 at the righthand side. | |||
| 29. |
| Triangles (hexagrams) 2, 5, 8 and 11, hexagon 14, lines 15, 16, 17, 21, 23 and 24, and circles 18, 25 and 28 are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
