Interesting, my wife's an archaeologist who is used to looking at aerial/geophysical images of this sort.
Earlier today, I took this photo and saved it as a greyscale image (to remove the tell-tale red that would indicate that it is Martian) so that I
could show it to her without telling her what it was and ask her opinion.
My question was: "What do you make of this image, is it a natural or manmade formation?"
Her immediate reply was that in her opinion it was unquestionably manmade. She added that it looked like a settlement, penned within a rectangle,
with the pyramid-like structure as the most prominent feature within the 'town'.
The image, she continued, looks very like radar/geophys images she has seen of mayan settlements which aren't usually visible to the nakes eye
because of rainforest cover.
She was somewhat surprised to learn that the pic was from Mars!
