Curiosity Takes Picture of Pharaoh-Like Statue!

First thing I noticed on the other thread with the panorama was the 'dowel' like thing sticking up, then I noticed the 'head' above it, nice picture, but if it was a head, it is grossly deformed around the mouth and chin area. It need not even be several rocks, but just the one with undulations causing the shadows. Made me think for a second though!

OOPS my bad forgot to post the pic but here it is.

Where was this picture found? Do you have the link to the original picture? I'd love to see the surrounding area!

This picture was taken by Left Navcam B on 533. As you can see, it is a different time of day, but the rock in question can be seen quite clearly in the middle left area of the image. The different sun angle here throws more light on the 'face'. While it is most definitely an interesting formation, it looks far less like a carved statue without the high contrast shadows in the other pictures.

However, I am still not convinced that this rock formation, and the others near it are not worth closer inspection. The 'column' formation behind the 'face' seems to have even greater detail in this sun angle then the other.

Maybe this risky 'jumping the dune' is to get a better look?

Here it is, but too small of a pic. It is shown to be at least three rocks.

It still looks like a face to me...Although the 2nd face in question does not look like a face anymore(could this be due to wind erosion?). What I said was the "hat" on the first head I no longer think is a hat, I feel like it was part of some sort of structure that maybe held up said "head." At this angle it make me believe there is definitely some sort of writing on it as well(as i said before)...What I thought was 5 symbols maybe closer to 10 but it's very hard to tell since you can't really zoom in without it getting terribly pixelated.

Thank you for posting this!

I wonder how if this can be formed naturally on earth, the best explanation for the mars rocks presented in this threads are fossils or statues and not the simpler ones like naturally formed

Obviously if there are human faced statues on Mars then we should expect Martian faced statues on Earth.

You're proving the OP.

We should not go to Mars, for they may not be welcoming and might shoot us with their dart guns.

But those pats could be buried underneath it, could they not?

This is one of the best I've seen. IMO, it looks like an actual carving.

These symbols?

Interesting...hard to see, but is this the area you were referring to?

Looks to me like the lid of a sarcophagus that has broken and the contents have fallen out, including this statue. There are other "rocks" that look like they could have been part of it as well.

After looking at this image from numerous angles on my laptop. There does seem to be
symbols/hyros on this rock and similiar ones found in Egypt and other places.
Even those reported on spacecraft. eg the binary code guy.
I am a mega sceptic when it comes to rocks posts but this ones got me
in a corner!
Are we being spoon fed like a child to break us in easy!

can you please post the pic of the simbols? I don't know where to look for them. Thx!

Awesome thread by the way! I'm usually a lurker but this brought me out !

Another suspicious rock that fits the profile...
