While interesting the AI take is just r-slurred

What makes these lines so interesting is that the AI makes it clear that they had distinct purposes.

No it doesn't.

The relief-type lines that show people and such? Well, those mark trail-heads. They're less distinct because you're intended to be close to them! Image

If you wanted to navigate across the region, you could walk until you saw a certain relief, and then you'd know what trail to take!

Other than this annoying "ending every sentence with an exclamation like a 5 year old" Reddit style of writing, a person attributed this disctinct purpose to the markers, not AI.
