Alien Anomalies

Noone, in the second linked image in your original post, there is an obvious 'cross' made of what looks like wood. Now, I am not religious at all, but it does look as if this is above the rocks, so what would that be? Look at the following cut of the image which I have totally manipulated (done too many things to the image to list them all!) but I have not photoshopped this cross in as you can see if you look at the original. The whole area to the right, where those large rocks are, is an interesting place and I suspect that this is an area which is currently much used as there are open spaces cleared of rocks and I can see a couple of snake-creatures (but further down and to the right) too.

The cross is a little less than halfway down (and a little more than a third) on the left hand side about an eigth of the way in from the edge.

slightly larger image of the above

forget this - I see you have found it already, sorry about that. Did not see the other post until after I had done this one.

... and here is a couple of close-view images of the large rock to the far right of the main image shown above.

Here is my version of the second image seen above. The quality of the downloaded images are poor to say the least.

I have applied some slight adjustments of brightness and contrast to the image shown below but have not applied any enhancement procedures.

I think the objects outlined in red by Masjosh are ancient artefacts.

I have increased the colour saturation by 50% to show any colour differences between objects and some of the differences are circled in yellow.

The objects circled in green you may also find interesting.

I spotted this immediately upon a close inspection, might be a case of my mind playing tricks on me, however there is no arguing what it looks like..

Thanks to Noone and Timewarp for bringing this to our attention.

That's exactly what I thought when the detail started to show.

This enhanced image tells us that there is other important detail contained in the captured images but cannot be plainly seen in the original downloadeds.  

The image shown below is the same as the one above only the brightness has been reduced by 20% and the colour saturation increased by 50%. The reason for doing this was to determine the colour differences between each object and also between the objects and the terrain.

There are many interesting objects to view. Some are well defined, but you may need a magnifier to spot them as they are very small.

There are also some special artistic features on the larger rocks. How did these recognizable artistic formations get there?

I wonder if other members can see the features on the large rocks.  

Here's an enhanced and sharpened view of the first image shown in the thread.

The RGB values were adjusted as follows: Red -07; Green +07; Blue +32.

If you look closely at the base of the highlighted rock, chippings from the rock carvings and sculptures can be seen.

It would appear that the surface of the planet is one big picture gallery.

This enhancement shows that there is a lot of 'hidden' object detail in the downloaded images just waiting to be revealed.

Engrave or fossil?
