“RECESSED BLOCKS” by MarsX3D

Today’s Context View is loaded with anomalies. We’ll concentrate for now on the blocks in the lower left-hand corner, which are not at all shy about showing their ninety-degree angles and tell-tale shadows.
Moving in for our Detail View, we find rocks bearing the unmistakable signs of having been worked. The closer block has had the center portion carved out in a square. On the left side, what might be a decorative motif blends into what looks like decorative vining...or snakes? Numerous other smaller right-angled anomalies lie scattered about, half-buried. In back, a rounded cube has been hollowed out, apparently completely so given the blackness of the space inside it.
One cannot help but think of the anomalous stones of Pumapunku in Peru. Is there a connection here, or is it just imaginary?
Now look at the locator dot on the lower right side. What do YOU see? I see a box with a curved portion extending from the left side, all symmetrical in arrangment, thickness and material.
Once again we have demonstrated that the Martians knew their stuff when it came to working with stone.
Wish we could say the same about our sense of exploratory curiosity…

“SO, HOW DO I VIEW X3D STEREO?”
Simple! While viewing the stereo pair at a comfortable distance, gently cross your eyes (no eye-strain) until you perceive three images all the same width. The one in the center is in 3D. Just relax into it and your eyes will automatically bring it into focus. Once you have it, you will never forget how to do it. Kinda like riding a bicycle…
