Absolutely. The layout of the site might be representative of constellations or system positions; though it is tricky to map from a 2D layout to a 3D universe.
It is actually possible that lines/mounds in the site do point to a certain point in the sky, but it would be time-sensitive. It could be something like: if the two circles in the site represent that pair of planets, then if you stand in the middle of the larger circle (representing the planet you're on) and the smaller planet is over the smaller circle, then some line in the ruins represents the direction you need to look.
Yep. I really do think that the ruins is a stellar map, and after a bit of amateurish paintshop work, I'm more convinced now than ever.
Let's look at the mock up I posted earlier (thanks to hhiram for the original aerial view):
Now, my hunch is that IF the ruins are a stellar map, then it needs reference points in order to make it legible. If the large landing pad represents the site of the current discovered ruins,
Synuefe xr-h d11-102, and IF the smaller landing pad is a second ruins site like the first one, AND if we go with the theory that a second ruins site must be in system
Col 173 Sector KY-Q d5-47 as hinted at by Frontier's trailer (thanks to some great detective work by commanders in this thread), then this is how the architecture of the ruins lays out over top of a map of the galaxy (please excuse my horrid paintshop skills!):
NOW, looking at this a few things become apparent:
1. The thick blue cross lines in my sketch represent the X and Y axis of the galaxy, which just happen to line up perfectly with the very big ridge that juts out from the large landing pad at the alien site representing X, and the shorter big ridge that runs perpendicular to it representing Y. They line up perfectly.
2. Regarding the line that hhiram said pointed straight at Merope (one ridge of the wedge), if it is not meant to be a vector from the planet's surface but instead meant to be a galactic vector from the system itself, then the two lines represented by the smaller ridges coming off the large landing pad do indeed directly point to some major stellar objects. In my sketch, the red line points directly to either the Witchhead Nebula, the Barnard's Loop area, or possibly the Cone Nebula past them both. The green line, or the upper ridge from the large landing pad, directly points to either the Flaming Star Nebula or possibly the Triad of the North cluster.
Now, if I am right,
and this is a map,
AND there is a second set of ruins in
Col 173 Sector KY-Q d5-47 waiting to be found, then I predict that this second set of ruins will look very much like this:
It will be set up similarly to the first set, but from the perspective of
Col 173 Sector KY-Q d5-47 where the large landing pad will represent that system, the small pad will represent
Synuefe xr-h d11-102, and the large ridge will run same as in the first ruins BUT the shorter large ridge will go the opposite direction, and the smaller ridge wedge coming out of the large pad will point as I've shown in a whole new direction, with one ridge pointing (possibly) to Barnard's Loop and the other (possibly) to the Flaming Star Nebula.
That's my theory on the meaning of the ruins. Now as to what the obelisks and stuff on the inside of the ruins mean, they may just be more information or vectors telling us distances or marking other stellar objects for reference. Possibly.
