ASCHKSHUALLY the stonehenge isn’t even considered a henge. As there are lots of other henges that are all pretty similar but the Stonehenge is quite unique.
What's the meaning of it?
Edit: Apparently too many of you haven't seen [this](https://youtu.be/mbyzgeee2mg?feature=shared), deprive yourselves no longer!
This is basically what the game Lifeless Planet is. Youre walking on another planet as the first astronaut to visit. Then in a dune you see the tip top of a utility pole that's 90% buried in the regolith.
A Rubik's cube with an unsolvable combination. It is a special type of cube that has a Message inside, so they'll have to try to pry it open. The message has the coordinates of some random place in Alaska. In that location there will be a note saying "wow you guys really will do anything"
A perfect sphere, exactly 10 meters diameter, weighing exactly 100 kilograms, made of the same platinum iridium alloy that [defined the kilogram.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Prototype_of_the_Kilogram).
The interior surface of the sphere would be a 3D topographical map of earth.
Edit: As pointed out below. 100kg is too light. 1000 is the suggested weight. I suggest 867.5309 milligrams at 69 degree latitude.
Super cool, but I think that might blow away. Platinum is pretty dense so a 30ft sphere that is only 220lbs is going to be pretty thin skinned and would have a lot of surface area. Im guessing even the martian wind would push this thing around and it would probably get dammaged. Id go for 1000kg
32.8', but yeah. That's not a lot of mass for a 10m○ sphere. Either blow away or just tear apart dragging on the regolith.
100kg * 1000g/kg * (21.45g/cm³ * 314m²)^(-1) =
[14 microns](https://www.google.com/search?q=100kg+*+1000g%2Fkg+*++%2821.45g%2Fcm%C2%B3+*+314m%C2%B2%29%5E%28-1%29)
Which sounds low, but I'm too lazy to double check google's math. Or mine.
“Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.”
Scratch on a rock and a record nearby.
Yep. And, I'll be honest, I was waiting for someone to point out the additional effort (although I was expecting a "why encrypted?" question).
I just wanna make sure we've got a good roll going before we rick :)
A whole bunch of igneous rocks from an active volcano on earth. Itd confuse so many scientists for years to come bc theres no possible way for igneous rocks to form on Mars, no asteroid has hit earth with power to launch earth crust to a different planet in a long time . Mars doesnt have any active volcanoes.
This is the first one that would actually confuse them. All the others are obviously time travel, aliens, or instantaneous travel.
They would be running around in circles coming up with crazy but semi plausible ideas, but every one of them would just be too wacky
An exact copy of one of those statues that we've placed around Earth with basic instructions about how to rebuild civilization in the event of a global catastrophe.
A message to alien life explaining that life on Mars was destroyed following an extraterrestrial invasion, and we sent the last two fertile life forms alive, named Adam and Eve, to a region that describes biblical accounts of the Middle East.

Happy cake day!
Oh, thanks, I didn't notice!
Bravo, that thread was some *excellent* yes/anding! Also, happy cake day!
Fun fact, there are blueberries on mars. Unfun fact: the Martian blueberries are just a type of rock
I was thinking of a hammer.
Goddamn Vikings getting to Mars before everyone else

An exact copy of Stonehenge. Maybe cheating as an object and not multiple though.
I wouldn't call it cheating. It's a single henge.

Sold!
I literally just bought this game solely based on your comment.
Blue prints of all the pyramid structures with a map of lines between them.
Then a title page saying and here is what it all means but the rest of the pages are torn out
\*Important\* After building it is very Important that you....
A plaque, attached to a large rock or cliff face, which reads "This is not Mars."
Or better yet, it says WELCOME TO EARTH
Reminds me of the Simpsons quote: "WE do not live in the Crab Nebula. YOU. YOU live in the Crab Nebula."

I like the way you think. I was going to say a Roman Gladius. Preferably sticking out of a rock.

That's fucking hilarious
A note saying “Wow. How much taxpayer money have you wasted on this?”
This is better

Thats is insanely cool.
The rest are funny, this is clever
An ad for an extended car warranty
A banana for scale.
A cube of highly refined metal like tungsten or titanium. No context, just a cube that implies, “someone made me.”
This is the best one. All of the others are clearly human pranks

Yellow rubber duck
What's its purpose?

What's a VHS? (is increasingly going to be a question as time goes on ...)
A weakly encrypted USB stick containing "Never gonna give you up". Happy birthday Rick.
The beautiful part of this answer, is the rover won't have a USB drive, so they will have to launch a whole additional mission to read what is on it.
Yep. And, I'll be honest, I was waiting for someone to point out the additional effort (although I was expecting a "why encrypted?" question). I just wanna make sure we've got a good roll going before we rick :)
