Hello again Ramon, The lines you found are an interesting puzzle. Perhaps you used your screen shot to do a Google Image Search. I've sometimes found that helpful, although internet results are often pretty nonsensical. In the case of your lines, my image search came up empty. My first and only guess are that they represent some kind of mineral prospecting survey, but that's merely the only plausible explanation that happens to occur to me. As far as your strange road is concerned, I think it is a rail line. If you enable Other > Transportation > Rail in Layers, you'll find a rail line roughly following the course of the line you marked, and no other rail line under the Layer-marked line. When I was trying to overlay a MAP of the massive explosion in Tienjin just a little over a year ago, I discovered that the Road Layer in China is offset, and the amount of offset varies throughout the country. I presume this may be true of rail maps as well. At any rate, I followed your line in both directions until I found what appear to me to be rail cars, although at about 10 meters, they are significantly shorter than the cargo cars I am familiar with in the US. I also marked, for comparison, a nearby unimproved road. Attachments:Rail Cars.kmz (891 B)

Thanks for the information.
Very interesting.

Your "rail cars?" mark is very extrain too. A train?

I have no idea what "extrain" means, so I've no idea if my placemarks are very extrain or not. As one who grew up across the street from a freight yard, I've never considered a line of rail cars to be a train until a locomotive was coupled to them, and I couldn't see anything that looked like a locomotive at either site. That doesn't diminish the likelihood that your "strange road" is a rail line. As for the area being "mysterious," I frankly doubt that it's any more mysterious to the people who have lived in this sparsely populated region for centuries than, say, the deserts of Utah are to the Mormons. I'd be careful, if I were you, about assuming any place on earth is somehow imbued with mystical or magical powers. Morgan Freeman said to me just last Monday, that we human beings actually sense very little of what is happening around us, and that most of what we perceive as reality is actually constructed in our heads. Most of what we see in Google Earth is full of potential ambiguity, and often how we interpret it depends on what we hope or expect to see. It has been my experience that people who allow their sense of self-worth to be bound up in having special understandings and insights that the rest of us lack, have a strong tendency to interpret their experiences in ways that fly in the face of reason or probability. There are people (apparently quite a few of them, judging from what I have seen in the popular media) who cherish the appealing notion that our planet is being or has been visited by intelligent beings from elsewhere, despite the total lack of any scientific corroboration and the staggering mathematical improbability. If the hash marks you found near the primitive track were made by visitors from another world, they would indeed be "strange". If, on the other hand, they were made by regular human beings like you and me, they would not be particularly strange, especially to the people who made them. I would encourage you to try to keep an open mind about the nearly infinite number of things we can see in Google Earth that defy, without further investigation, our understanding, and not assume immediately that it fits with some cherished preconceived notion. Try to remember the wisdom of wise old WILLIAM, that the simpler explanation is more likely to be the better one.
