15:22c ... "the Skull" begins to take shape ...

Step 3, constructing "the skull": The nose, eyes, mouth, and teeth of the Skull need to be constructed inside "the Golgotha circle" (4440) from Elias (2220) and Jesus (888) who are already there. The center of the face is the circle of Elias (2220) and the nose is Jesus. To construct the rest of the skull first draw a square around Jesus and Elias. The center line of the mouth is the base of the square enclosing Elias. The eyes of the skull are then made by moving up two copies of the squares enclosing Jesus along the diagonals of the graph so that they are tangent to the square around the nose. Then draw four diagonal lines through the corners of these 3 squares. The upper part of the mouth is then made by drawing a horizontal line through the intersection point of the two diagonals beneath the nose. The upper two front teeth of the mouth are made by constructing vertical lines through the appropriate intersection points of the diagonals with the mouth. Make copies of the 2 teeth to fill up the top of the mouth with exactly 10 teeth. Then copy and flip the top of the mouth to create the lower jaw. The full mouth is now filled with 20 teeth. Removing the construction lines results in the next diagram ...
