And, yes, still makes me remember when I went to Machu Pichu. The photo that Arken showed, reminds me of what I saw there. Maybe you should go see for yourself.
You missed the point........images taken from space won't look like "stairs" from Machu Pichu......even the REAL Machu Pichu........doesn't look like "stairs" when viewed from space.

This for sure. Not natural.
On Earth, most basalt magmas have formed by decompression melting of the mantle. Basalt has also formed on Earth's Moon, Mars, Venus, and even on the asteroid Vesta.

You missed the point. Where I said something about space in my post?

I think your on to something.
It wasn't brushed, it's a low resolution image next to a higher resolution image. A wider view of that area shows that.

Why this this area is brushed?
Reflections? What reflections are you talking about?
Reflections like the face? Real structures? Well, I think there is no better place to find the truth but here on ATS.
It's just another case of bad joining of different images.
What you guys think?

As HiRISE only has high resolution images, its images cover a very small area (usually some 6km by 8km area).
To show all of Mars surface, Google Earth (or NASA's World Wind) use images from several missions (Viking Orbiter 1 and 2, Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (with images from HiRISE and from the Context Camera) and Mars Express) and from different resolutions.
So, to find the original images, we have to look in other places.

Here is link to that HiRISE photo and explanation of "Machu Pichu"
hirise.lpl.arizona.edu...
"The long shadows emphasize small scale topographic features. Wind erosion is responsible for much of the morphology in this region."
at same site, do a search for Hellas Basin, some crazy structure and other features in that crater
Here is also a cool online viewer of HiRISE images

What doesn't look natural?
Basalt is natural, and can have quite the amount of straight lines and polygons.

Here is just one example of many:
Something interesting to note from wiki:
