Roads on Mars?

[Clovis]

There wouldn't have been technology too...

Always funny, I liked that joke of the traffic lights made by you not a lot of time ago!
The 12# post to be more precise

Raptors were small Dinosaurs, and they were intelligent pack hunters.

 

[Clovis]

How would it be possible that nature alone would stack up a lot of the same rocks in that order?

 

[Catastrophe]

Look more closely, and compare with a real road. Roughly parallel "lines" may be found, but not lines as we know them. Lumps of rock with no parallel or continuous surfaces. No more roads than clumps of points can have a two perfect parallel straight lines drawn through them Optical illusions misinterpreted by an open (as in empty) mind eager to find 'impossible' sensational connections.

I doubt that they are roads as we know them. That area was once covered by water. And water has been known for doing strange things over time.
Like making caves and caverns, moving mountains, and eroding rock cliffs.

Clovis,


"How would it be possible that nature alone would stack up a lot of the same rocks in that order?"

I don't see roads anywhere defined by irregular heaps of stone of irregular sizes some, by chance, being in approximate unstraight lines.

Strong tidal eps and flows. Notice you don't see any other rocks like that nearby. Ive read about the tides pushing old sunken ships up on beaches.

 

[Clovis]

Perhaps it's only the crest of something much bigger buried in the ground.
Mars has a lot of anomalies we don't yet understand. We try to compare to our world. The evolution of both planets is nowhere alike.

 

[Clovis]

The only way to find out is more exploration. Several countries here on Earth are intending to do just that. Some like China want to claim it as they're territory. Which I think is foolish.

 

[Clovis]

I don't know if the perseverance rover took samples of the rocks but it looks like there was a salty ocean before it was instantly boil away by some sort of intense heat leaving some parts that look like salts deposit.

I like that explanation. We have features like that here in NM.

 

[Catastrophe]

Clovis, sorry - I don't understand. Are you suggesting road markers (not roads) were pushed up by the tide?

Thay have never been on the Moon...
To be more precise (and less funny) they weren't as clever as humans, but I would rather think they were as clever as dogs or pigs, whose IQ must be 50/60 in comparison of humans whose medium IQ is 100.

 

[Lariliss]

Please be tolerant). In many places on Earth roads are much worse than that alignment.
Road, meaning: 'a wide way leading from one place to another, especially one with a specially prepared surface which vehicles can use '.
They are obviously leading at least.

So tell me this is a dual carriageway. And is that a pedestrian walkway bottom right corner?
And maybe those 3 circles on the left are the remains of traffic lights? This really is a busy throughway!

The narrowing road might have contraflow lane reversal.
The three circles might be lights and surveillance cameras.

But, seriously, there were/are no roads on Mars.

Nature can arrange rocks in a very strange way over time. The Earth has evidence of that also. A meteor could have that. Blast force, who knows.
At the A Bomb test sites there things like that. More than that. Big rocks stop little rocks and it built up, Are they horizontal, or vertical, away from the blast? Blast would be 360 degrees, they could be anything. I don't believe they are roads after millions of years.

 

[Catastrophe]

Remember von Daniken. Some of those so-imagined structures, like 'airports' for alien spaceships, were a couple of feet across. Some of those 'roads' were hundreds of feet across. So the aliens had spaceships only inches across, but cars dozens of feet long?

Or was it just imagination which was being stretched to superimpose structure on natural features?

This is the difference between a human brain and an artificial brain. Recognition response happens fast in the brain, within a few hundred milliseconds (going from lower level intelligence stricture to upper one and vice versa).
We see what we expect to be there.

 

[Clovis]

They aren't roads. If there ever was advanced life on Mars, we can't compare anything they may have done to anything we have done. We're talking about an entirely different species here, existing in a completely different environment.

 

[Clovis]

If we are going to discuss roads. Let's start explaining the Mars lady. No, it was not dirt on the lense she, would have been only four inches tall. When the rover looked the other way then back again it wasn't there.

I think that is what I was getting at in post #67. Assumptions irrespective of true scale.

I have just found the most obvious, perfect example of a road on Mars.

Made by a really big Big Wheel?

Jokes aside, they are better than the ones we have here in Italy!
I'm ironic, of course

Bloody good ole chap. That about clears this up.
