Ancient Intelligent Life? It would be nice to think this structure is evidence: Pingmonster's Wall

I'm out exploring the Heart and Soul Nebulae at the moment. While setting down on a planet to log off I found this structure that looks decidedly unnatural; as if it could be made by intelligent life.

The formation runs from horizon to horizon and has the appearance from altitude of an ancient ruined wall.

It's probably an artifact of procedural generation of the planet but it's nice to imagine that it's actually something else.

So here's Pingmonster's Wall:

Found in this system:

I surveyed it in the SRV and it is a continuous line of low hills that hold to a straight compass bearing in both directions. It really does seem to be an unnatural ruin.

Again EDH is a vehicle for firing my imagination. With all the talk of potential alien races in the galaxy it's great to imagine that we might find evidence of ancient alien civilisation if we explore deep enough....

Yup...almost certainly a glitch.

And I agree with you 100%. I would LOVE to see the ruins of ancient civilisation out there in the black!! I'm hoping FD does that some day in the near future "Soon [TM]"

Thanks for the replies CMDR's!

As I said I did survey this artifact from ground level in the SRV. The range of hillocks that make it up are pretty insignificant on the ground but it was impressively noticeable from 30km's altitude.

Pingmonster's more, um, "regular" exploits and discoveries can be found here:

I found some nice vistas out here in the Heart and Soul sectors so those, and all my other explorations, are usually posted to the travelogue weekly.
 
That ancient alien wall is covered in sand blowing from one direction, hence the discoloration on only one side. That's my theory anyway :)

I talk to meself out here in the black...only intelligent conversation I get out here.

Would be nice to find something ancient and ruined and obviously not made by nature ^^
 
Yes; as much as I realise the artifact is a procedural generation artifact it's nice to dream.

The galaxy is big enough for a human civilisation bubble and and alien one.
