text: From the ship point of view its just as if it were a landform found on Earth. First, in the text it states "the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesalandforms common around the American West." Showing that is just somthing found normally on a landmass. Second, the unusual shadows in the photos make it look Egyptain. Like something that would naturally form in that kind of climate. Lastly, on the JPL web site it revealed as a natural landform and not an alien monument.
