Humans possess an inherent ability to recognize patterns, often leading us to see familiar shapes in random distributions. This phenomenon, known as pareidolia, has a history of encouraging speculation about extraterrestrial life, dating back to 1976 with the "Face on Mars" narrative. Such interpretations stem from our psychological inclination to find meaning, even when non exists.

If there are enough geological features, two of them may naturally form a right angle—nothing extraordinary there.
