My first impression was, its looks like a cut, biologist are using of plants or microorganisms.<br>Your idea, Koala, that it could be a map sounds good. These "neuro-cells" with its tentacles at <br>the end of the "appendages" could be entrances or fans. But distances as you suggested don't <br>fit. Moving in by 11 and 1 o'clock position to reach the crossing down of 12 o'clock after a <br>short walk wouldn't give much space to travel by tram for several days and Olympus Mons <br>would be shown too small at all. <p>I think it's good to keep this interpretation in mind. If it's a map, this thing is of enormous <br>dimension. Diameter of Olympus Mons is 600 km at the escarpments, where the 12 entrances <br>were located. The white circle could be the top plateau with a diameter of about 100 - 150 km. <br>That means our probes would have been exploring only the area of the "neuro-cells" yet.<p>About your questions: Rotation period of mars is 1.026 Earth days.- According to Herodot the <br>division of a day by two times of twelve hours was taken by the Greeks from the Babylonian <br>culture. So it's just a human convention. <p>m.f.g.<p>X<p><br>
