Located in Hebes Chasma at eastern end at the foot of the Mensa some 5km down, is this sensational rendering which I believe has been meticulously created into the cliff wall overlooking a possible ancient shoreline. The “continuity” of this design in my mind, is without a doubt, one of the most intriguing works of art yet to be found on the Martian surface.
From left to right, there are several dolphins and a Beluga whale. Then we have the stance of a Greek warrior complete with his shield and his helmet in complete garb of the era. His hair and facial features are clearly seen. On the shield, is the defined image of a contrived man with complete facial features as well, typical again of the insignia found on circular shields common in this time. His Corinthian style helmet is also typical.
To his back, is a beautiful rendition of domesticated animal, possibly a cow that has been ever so carefully scaled and detailed right down to the animal eye located appropriately along its facial snout. (one will need to zoom in to this location where the eye is prominently concocted by way of the only circular rock in the cliff side!)
The body of the animal has been carefully produced by way of cliff side gouges depicting its body coloring. The legs and tail are also seen again, in the appropriate scale and location. There is much more.
A truly amazing work of art of Biblical proportions! Interestingly, the warrior's shield is “facing off” the emerging dolphins which are very cleverly contrived right down to the sonar effects and specie coloring of the black dolphin.

[/URL]What is quite astonishing here is the very delicate detail that has been given to the warrior's facial features. Upon close up, the eye, nose and mouth are NOT discernible. Only when seen from some distance are the facial features recognizable. A very typical technique we have now all come to appreciate by the resident artists.
George, if I may make so bold, I would like to consider producing a tech paper on this mural as I believe the imagery here has some very profound implications to the time line so intrinsic to our human family. And in my opinion, this is "just what we need"?
