Trail Marker?

[Mammothman]

A friend of mine took this photo and it just screams to me trailmarker, but I can't really read it. It looks like a start of a trail to the top left. I don't know what it is about this photo, but the more I look at it the more I feel it is a marker... Ideas? Interpretations?

Wow ... that is nice. Don't know what it is, but it certainly gets one's attention. If one was searching for it, there would be no mistaking it. Great find.

MMan:
Here's what I see. An elephant with a large hoyo formed by it's trunk and mouth area. There's a pointer "bump" on the left edge of the large hoyo. The smaller hoyo at ground level has another pointer. Both pointers are indicating the main trail goes to the right; around the elephant. I don't see an inverted "V" for a confirmation mark, BUT that tilted Tobias "T" might just be as good or better.

Looks like a marker to me. You might see if another one is facing this one. Only seen that once.

You all have an active imagination... LOL I see rock formations all the time when I am hiking/hunting and think to myself, wonder if those TreasureNet people would think that jagged rock, that looks like a heart and created by erosion, would think that's a heart... hahaha

My sentiments too. My opinion is that if you are in uncharted terra obscura and wish to leave a sign for someone, even yourself, to find later, then you leave an easy to find, unmistakable, permanent rock creation. This business of 'looks like a ...' has gotten a lot of mileage on this forum, and is defended strongly, but the whole idea is illogical and contrary to human nature. Fantasies are more fun than reality I guess.

I have a overactive imagination too.
But if I was to have marked something there, here's how I'd have done it.

Kenworthy explains this marker best in his book on Monuments.

Kenworthy seemed to know alot more than he was letting on to.. I've seen alot in the field that mimics his findings. Perhaps it's all natural and reoccurs frequently? Could be...
But, I'm not sure he ever really made the ancient connection. And that changes everything.

Go back up and look at Shortstacks first post. Bottom corner her has the word pointer inside an upward arrow. Look on both roacks to the left and right of his arrow. I see a lot of scratches and lines etc on both boulders.

Is that anything?

[Quinoa]

The scratchings just to the right of it (it would be to the right of "the treasure under a cliff" marking I did) are of a "box" or square and about 7-8 dots leading up to it. The way I'm guessing it , the box represents the vault, and the dots are the distance to dig to it. So it would be tunnelled under the cliff so many "dot " units. Possibly feet or paces. Of course I can't verify any of this, it's just the way I "see" it, or one possible way It could have been done.
If you look even closer, there are some possible tiny lightning bolts indicating a trap somewhere along the way. I believe one of the dots is one such thing, indicating a trap about 6-7 "dots" of measurement in.

Edit:
Just in case someone tries to investigate this based on what I see, There's also a trap indicated right at the entrance. It's marked on the cliff, and on the small markings in the foreground.
How can I see all this crap? I don't know for sure, but I doubt it was meant for helping people take risks or get rich. Maybe I shouldn't be posting.
