This geometry report was published at Lyn’s request in The New Federalist newspaper on June 24th and 30th 1988.

The construction demonstrates how to apply the singularity of the Gauss-Riemann elliptic function of the golden section to the Acropolis of Athens.

That was my first breakthrough in constructive geometry 28 years ago. If you apply yourself to generate the same constructions, with a straight edge only, you will fully grasp what Lyn meant when he said: “Believe nothing that for which you cannot give yourself a constructive proof.
