Melas Chasma
March/April, 2001
A large, carved monument; a pale second face is barely visible just next to and beyond the first face. This image has a lot of artifact. Admittedly, the vertical artifact lines can influence the image interpretation. But I believe there is a lot left after you mentally subtract the overlay.
The left face, the middle emblem, the right face.
The first arrow points to a possible face on a second mountain. The second and third arrows point to possible figures facing one another, with the first figure standing and the second figure sitting. I know this is vague, but the second figure is smaller and seems to be standing on a pedestal in front of the larger figure. The larger figure seems to have a beard. I'm actually kind of embarrassed to say all that, but THERE IT IS. Perhaps this is a scene of an encounter of the third kind.
Sphinx at Giza; Unknown on Mars; Cleopatra monument
These look like ruins. Analysis of the curved, black line rising over the area as if the rim of a dome hasn't yielded anything concrete (pun intended). If you look very closely, you can see that the rim arcs over the area and goes over to a foothold in the rock on an opposite side. It also has a faint shadow underneath at the far end. But then, you can see a faint track arcing back in an elipse, giving the appearance of a dome.

I can't resist: Is that a road? Now look. There are two black vehicles on the road. It's two-way traffic. The one coming down is on the right side of the road. The one going up is on the right side, also. Must be American-Martians! Either that, or it's a case of missing pixels. You decide...(why they're missing)...
