This is an area very close to the temple mount. I haven't seen this sol-515 discussed here yet so I will start.
In the third pic down, what looks like an upside-down head. There appears to be a mask or set of eyes to the immediate right of the statue.. probably from when it was toppled.
The fourth pic looks like a throne of some type?
The fifth pic has a toppled pyramid shape and what looks like a brontosaurus? figure. The bottom of the figure appears to have a mounting rail attached to it.
Now somewhere else amongst the many posts we discussed the area to the right of the skull that held the following image. If anyone can find it please post the link here.
Right as promised, I am going to collect everything we have collected on this area so far under this one thread and open it to all members for further investigation and discussion. This will be the first time we can all work together as a group and this is a meaty opportunity as the area is filled with anomalies.
marsrocks, The pink highlight is brilliant, your image clarifies what I am seeing. I think the rock behind it split off at that point and the decoration would form part of a frieze on a pillar similar to the cave in India. The pink decor seems to correspond with an elevated area on the rock behind it and I think the bit of highlighted yellow decoration would have been on a capstone on top of it.
The glyphs you have highlighted I had not noticed as I had included them as part of the decor on the stone around the head, but you may be right and they are part of an inscription. I have highlighted the glyphs I am referring to as best I can....you will see that they seem to match the are just above the demons head and would have formed a solid carved inscription.
These are two crops taken from your original image.
This one has an interesting decorative looking carving
This one has three clear glyphs
The first glyph in in the middle of the two shadows and looks like an x, the second looks a bit like a palm tree and the third like an elongated number 3
The quality is still good even when enlarged. They are hauntingly similar to some of our own ancient scripts but not exactly the same so its hard to match them. Interesting though.....
Chandre, I'll take a stab at what you see with a caveat that this may be enlarged too much to really rely on what we see at this level. The first is a combined AN - then an A - then an r or a greek g.
My pleasure marsrocks. May I also suggest that you may want to be examining the glyphs on the rock behind the demons head. There are three clear characters there that deserve further discussion. I am including some earth-based glyphs as comparison.
Chandre, thanks for your input on this one. The images you have posted are more interesting the more I consider them - very interesting comparison. Thanks!
Marsrocks, well spotted on the flaps and protrusion from the eye. Your image is far more detailed than the one I am working with....
As for the demon/goddess image, I would like to supply you with some food for thought and a suggestion that you may be able to search the image for some of these details....
The legend is about the Goddess Durga and goes like this...
Durga is portrayed as the sixteen-armed slayer of a buffalo inhabited by the fierce demon Mahisha. A threat to the world, Mahisha was invincible. Even the Hindu gods who had challenged him could not kill him. In desperation they created the goddess Durga to be their champion and gave her their weapons. A missing right hand held the spear with which she is about to stab Mahisha. In her other right hands she holds an arrow, sword, chisel, hammer, thunderbolt, elephant goad, and war discus. The objects in her left hands are a shield, bow, bell, mirror, and noose. Durga has just severed the buffalo's head with her many weapons. Mahisha, in the form of a tiny, chubby man, his head backed by snake heads, emerges from the buffalo's decapitated body and looks up admiringly at the warlike but beautiful Durga even as his toes are being bitten by her lion. Durga smiles serenely as she hoists Mahisha by his hair and treads gracefully on the buffalo's body
The Statue this refers to is below
But I think you may prefer the image take from the cave dedicated to this battle (pay special attention to the demons shape of his head and headdress) ....
Chandre, thanks for the warm welcome from you and other forum members! It's pretty obvious we have common interests in trying to understand what we are seeing on Mars, and I am glad to get a chance to contribute my thoughts to the conversation.
I agree that the skull may well be composed of different structures, but even if so, they are all extremely close together.
One thing I noticed on the left-right views is that there appears to be triangular flap like structures in relation to each eye - one pointed up and one pointed down. Marked in green here:
There also appears to be a tiny object in front of or possibly projecting out of the eye closest to us:
I think that the nose is rounded with two nostrils, but it is warped off center, with one nostril much lower than the other. There is a slight angled flat area in front of the eye that may be considered a platform, but keep in mind, any part of the image showing as white probably represents lost detail, so it can't necessarily be interpreted as flat.
On the demon head, what gets me is that it seems to be a separate object on top of the larger object. How could it have remained there unless it is affixed somehow to the larger rock - especially if one assumes the geological explanation that these objects ("rocks") were ejected from a volcano and flung some distance to land here. If so, how did they stay together? There is so much symmetry in it from the crowned hat to the long chin attachment, it seems more of a crafted object than a rock.
Interesting take on the female face. If you come across some good comparison images, please post them. Thanks, again!
Wow marsrocks, excellent work (and the soundtrack rocks too)
Your work on the skull has made something apparant to me, although this is a 3d rounded object it does not appear to be a skull. The right 'eyesocket' appears to be some sort of a platform and the 'nose and chin' appear to be a seperate structure in front of the 'skull'.
Is it my imagination or had you also noticed that ?
The carved images you highlighted are clearly raised. I think CSI labs use a point system of some sort to identify a human face, I think someone on the forum raised the point that the tampering removes just enough of those to make it impossible for the conclusion to be drawn that these are definitely faces...but in this case the area of the demon head is raised enough to be distinquished from the rest of the rock and there is symmetry and ornamental detail in the head dress. I would agree with you. The female face is also clear to me and I have seen a similar carved style in temples in India, enough to agree that IMHO this looks like a temple/ceremonial carved relief of some sort, but in the end it would be up to each viewer to decide for themselves.
I am really enjoying your posts, thanks for joining the forum and sharing this with us
HMMMM . Lions head , significant symbol in certain religious sects on earth... Normally lion and eagle can be found in same religious locations. usually emblems of power and loyalty. Now Ive found the eagles head (a while ago) its in broad day light and in my avatar. And low and behold there are glyphs and yup.. Theres a possible eagles head on one of the glyphs. I don't play games I open my mind for possibilities and try not to miss whats under my nose. These Glyphs are not even hidden! Your just not allowing the pic to tell the story. This is no game. Im trying to get you guys to look closer. Follow the clues. But i guess you want me to put my m UNCONFIRMED hard work here for you a;ll to druel over. I think in doing an honorable thing and giving vital clues? Maybe I should just cut paste loads of scientific data and wonder what that blurr really is..
I think these are some of the clearest eve dance of something intelligent you'll possbly see? Or can you show me better. By the way as you may already know, glyphs are a language. Yup not a blurry ufo or tamperer ed haze. You're looking at a language, carved by an ET! and you guys state im playing games. I didnt need to point this out but I guess if i didnt it will slip by unnoticed. Lighten up and you'll see more.
On a more serious note my discoveries (as stated in MarsAnomaly Research) will come much later, as stated in Skippers guest book. This post is about Mars balancing stones. I have enough respect to keep to the flow of this post and not grandstand my work all over it.
So to summaries,
1 Clear lions head, close up! ( Haven't seen that aywhere on the web) 2, A possible eagles head (it is ;)) My fligh of Fantasy! 4. Glyphs on eagles head! Lahguage.
Cheers

Hi Harry I understand Humanoids frustration as part of our normal dialogue on this forum when discussing our views is to illustrate what we are saying with images and the links so everyone can go and look for themselves. I also understand that you are trying to teach us how to see things differently in an effort to get to the same place you are in. Yes, this image is worth deeper investigation as you point out other items we are looking more deeply. A bit like peeling off the layers of an onion. I myself have examined the block more closely and I can see that the surface has a three dimensional aspect that tiny as it is throws shadows that I did not notice before. I also see blueberries, supposedly caused by water action, in strategic places on the rock. I see stairs coming up the one side leading around the image and going down the other side. I imagine that the 'flowers' on the block may have sprayed steam or water as part of a cleansing ritual, I imagine that this site was elevated.... but it all boils down to two words. I IMAGINE. Your input is encouraging us on flights of fantasy, which is good in trying to understand the images and possible culture/religion of the former occupants of this area of Mars, but not constructive from a scientific viewpoint and not in keeping with our goals of creating a library of 'scientific' evidence to present to people that will visit our site in the future. We need concrete proof of the culture that existed on Mars and you will see from reading the posts on this site that we are determined to find as much as we can. The 'lion/leopard/cat' image is clear but we know how easily 'faces' are discounted by the media. Now if we had a clearer image of what is on that stone it would be another story.
If you dont get the idea how to view our neighbors doodles/ art/ religion/ culture, then how the hell will you, or I talk less of anyone else, going to understand and find their evidence. The lions head is clear. Not fuzzed. Not hidden, and oh , by the way it just happens to be on Mars!! Now is that anomaly?
Even without removing tampering its whispering quite loudly " LOOK AT ME MORE CLOSELY ! " Now if thats not good enough for you then im sorry. You have just brushed aside you first, bright, clean, untampered with anomaly. I think these guys have pulled something up pretty special. They have taken the time to study and discuss details. Thats caught my attention and i aim to join them on it. There is a lot to assimilate in this image but the obviuse has to be found first. then forensically peal this site apart. Well thats what Im doing. .
Hi, lost for words at the moment. I think ive seen too much... I'll give the basic cool stuff. Tilt your head to left relax your vision. What animal do you see. Take your time. The block'rock is perfectly placed as the tongue , if seen from directly above but that wont even scratch the surface of what this is. Cant say any more ..sorry
The eyeball is obscured but there

Hi harry. There is a lot of NASaTY tampering in this image. I think I can see the steps you mention at just before, on 12 o'clock, and just after 12 above the block. The tampering makes it look like sand banked up against the three rocks but if you look closely you can see the blurring. Is that the correct spot ?
harry, The main problem I have with your explanation of this image of the stone, is its distance from the rover and its size, in both images provided by humanoid, the camera is looking down on them (not across to them), which tells me the stone is near the rover and that it is not very tall, I agree this rock is unusual and out of place.
This is only my personal perception of the image, and I would love to see the evidence of the wide steps etc. but I just can't see them no matter how much I play with the contrast etc.

Hi all, An update on the Unusual feature "Block, Rock Or Noah's arc".
The entire site around the block seems to have sunk/submerged in water or mud. The site is more like a temple, Top left central hints of wide steps and Block is plumb in center of main section of site. Tampering used almost 100% of image. There is an unusual amount of tampering on Block which (when cleaned) has interesting diorama. The Angular cut into bottom left shadow of Block is actually an object in the fore ground. Water seems to be a theme (My Opinion)

Harry, that is a beautiful concept. I can see the stone upright with the 'flower' on the top and water streaming down the iridescent sides with 'leaf' imprints. I think there may be another 'flower' in the closest corner hidden in the shadow but you can just see the circular outline of the top of it. Maybe water flowed down over the 'v' shaped lip and collected in a shallow bowl. It really makes for a beautiful mental picture, although xiriux may accuse me of being 'romantic' I will hang onto that thought for the day. I'm female, I get to be soppy at times
Hi , Beautiful image.. Ive seen these before i think . It maybe a representation of a flower... Water actually flows through top.and down stone channels The leaves are on the lighter upside of the rock. you can make them out. .. attached to structure long ago

Nice evidences. You can find a lot of mechanical debris in this site (sol630-sol680). Use stereo anaglyph maker program, here is a link to an excellent freeware: http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/. After downloading the stereo image pair you can analyze it in 3D, but do not forget switch on the "Resampling" function. You need the appropriate glasses to see in 3D. Have a good investigation.
Hi Humanoid The image is clear enough, I know the others wont be any better. The marking that interests me is visible in both. I've highlighted it below. Reminds me of a coptic cross but I am sure that it's something more functional. I know that ARP2 posted this and I remarked that the stone looked like an opal in the colour version but I think they may have altered it to hide this anomaly ?
Papa, you're right. The stone does look like a similiar skull to Hoaglands lunar one with the red mask on it. Creepy !
I find those pictures simply amazing! Naturally occurring stone balancing? Note rocks in both photos are not part of underlaying ground but separate stones just sitting there (since when?) Both images come from Spirit.
