Situated to the northern side of Silbury Hill, towards Avebury is a formation some are calling the Fractal Star of David. It consists of 126 circles. This is based on a diagram known as a Koch Fractal, based, of course, on the name of its discoverer, Lolita Koch. The main equilateral triangle has its sides divided into three equal parts.
Smaller equilaterals fit into the central section of each of the three sides.
This action is then repeated with a yet smaller triangle. In theory, this process is infinite but in this formation, for practical reasons of manufacture and scale, it is ended with a border of exquisite small circles. All rights reserved.
