STRANGE SYMBOLS?

On the right picture I have marked things that took my attention. They are numbered according to how clearly they can be observed, and how likely it is that they actually are something real...

  1. This is "the bone". The shape of it is rather natural. But it certainly does not look like a rock. Neither does it look like a dune. Rather it looks like something organic.
  2. The stitches
  3. A vertical groove. Surprisingly the angle between this and the stitches is approximately 60 degrees. 60 degrees is an important angle, because it is the angle of the corners in an equilateral triangle.
  4. Does the "track" made by the stitches continue around the "bone"? Something seems to be there.
  5. This is interesting. Something like letters or other symbols?
  6. And two more stripes

Now lets take a strongly contrasted enlargement and try to see if the symbols really are there...

It looks something like "NP" where the 'N' is reversed. Is it just a coincidence again? Could the bumps and grooves in the terrain by accident make up this kind of symbols? You could think that way. But no matter how I tried, I didn't find anything like this elsewhere! Now look at the first image on this page. Look at the first images on the previous page. You can clearly see them; especially the square part of the 'P'!

But is it possible that this kind of relatively small (the stitch track is about 400 m long and 20 meters wide) features in the terrain could remain visible for millions or even thousands of years?
