Reconstruction of the
East Kennett 21-06-2009 formation

1. Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines.

2. Construct the inscribed square of circle 1, pointing to the right.

3. Construct the inscribed circle of square 2.

4. Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 3, pointing up.

5. Construct the inscribed circle of hexagon 4.

6. Copy circle 5 to the lower intersection of circle 3, and move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own upper intersection, both with the vertical centerline.

7. Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the end-points of a centerline) between the righthand intersections of circles 1 and 3 with the horizontal centerline.

8. Copy circle 7 to the intersection of the righthand side of hexagon 4 and the horizontal centerline.

9. Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, tangent to circle 8 at the lefthand side.

10. Construct a "two-points" circle between the center of circle 9 and its upper intersection with the vertical centerline.

11. Construct a "two-points" circle between the center of circle 9 and its lower intersection with the vertical centerline.

12. Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 11, pointing up.

13. Construct a circle, passing through the lower intersection of circle 11 and the vertical centerline, and tangent to the lefthand and righthand sides of triangle 12.

14. Construct a circle concentric to circle 11, tangent to circle 13 at the upper side.

15. Copy circle 14 to the center of circle 10.

16. Construct a "two-points" circle between the lower intersections of circle 11 and triangle 12 with the vertical centerline.

17. Copy circle 16 to the upper intersection of circle 1 and the vertical centerline.

18. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 17 at the upper side.

19. Construct the circumscribed hexagon of circle 1, pointing up.

20. Construct a "two-points" circle between the lower intersection of circle 1 with the vertical centerline and the top angular point of hexagon 19.

21. Copy circle 1 to its upper intersection with the vertical centerline, and move it to its own corresponding intersection.

22. Copy circle 18 to the center of circle 21.

23. Draw the connecting line between the intersections of circles 18 and 22.

24. Copy circles 3, 6, 9, 10, 11 14 and 15 as a whole, while mirroring with respect to line 23.

25. Copy circle 20, while mirroring with respect to line 23.

26. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 25 at the lower side.

27. Copy circle 26 to the center of circle 21.

28. Construct a "two-points" circle between the upper intersections of circles 6 and 21 with the vertical centerline.

29. Construct a "two-points" circle between the upper intersections of circles 9 and 21 with the vertical centerline.

30. Construct a "two-points" circle between the lower intersection of circle 15 and the upper intersection of circle 21, both with the vertical centerline.

31. Copy circles 28, 29 and 30 as a whole, while mirroring with respect to line 23.

32. Circles 1, 3, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 are used for the final reconstruction.

33. Remove all redundant parts not visible within the formation itself.
