What happened
Inside the cable car station on Mount Chiliad's summit, a crude mural shows a mountain crossed with lines and X marks, topped by symbols usually read as a UFO, a cracked egg, and a figure wearing a jetpack. Rockstar never explained it, and the mural became the seed of the longest-running mystery hunt in the game's history, with players mapping every line of it onto the mountain looking for a hidden trigger.
Why it matters
Every deeper tier of this iceberg exists partly because of this wall. It taught a player base of millions to treat the map itself as a puzzle.
How we know
The mural and its role as the community's founding mystery are documented in GamesRadar's long-running easter egg coverage; the deepest tier of this iceberg covers what a former Rockstar developer eventually said about it.
