It appears to be a statue.

what makes you think that ?

 

[Red James Cash]

It's a hunk of rock.

 

[Backwoodsbob]

It's a stone that should have been left alone. It a marker. When you move it you should have made a compass on it. So that you could tell the angles and other information. It's part of an old system that works with other stones.

 

[molgreg]

It was already moved. It was not in the ground.

 

[Backwoodsbob]

The area in which you found it in. Was it on the top of a hill?

 

[Backwoodsbob]

It's ok, they get moved. I own many stones that were being sold by rock collectors. Most don't what they have. If you want to learn more about this. Read threads about signs and symbols of treasure. The Spanish and others used this type of work. There are many things on the stone that works with the sun and angles.

I'm afraid that I agree with theothers, it's ust a rock. sorry

 

[captain1965]

I disagree that it's only a rock.
Looks carved. The way the right angles wrap around the side. Nice find

 

[somehiker]

Looks like a piece of architectural stone. Possibly part of a "reveal", like that found around arched doorways and windows in older stone buildings.
Fireplaces as well. What is the history of the area where you found it ?

looks can be decieving. I showed where this portal to otra dimension was entirely natural

Well then, I guess we should all defer to your expert opinion.
Since you have posted all them pictures of Tayopa for others to analyze......haven't you ?

 

[Backwoodsbob]

With out more information it's hard to say. Do you have any other stones to show from the same area? The angle of your pictures will help also. If it's a stone of the Priest it will be used with light. Some are made to be seen from a distance and some up close. Here is an example of their work. Even through a train eye can see what is showing. When the sun moves across the stone it will show more

 

[Real of Tayopa]

no some hiker, but my opinion is just as probable as another's at this point. As for pictures of Tayopa, I woud be a fool to post them, even though I found it,The Mexican govt has declared it a patamonial of Mexico, until the clarify it I will not post a apicture of it, Let them find it.

 

[Backwoodsbob]

Why can't all of the treasure hunters get together and change some rules. We do all the work just to let the Government come in and take it.

 

[Real of Tayopa]

you will note there are no chisel, or other marks indicating human works.

 

[somehiker]

A good stonemason doesn't leave visible chisel marks on his work.....unless the client was to ask for a "rough stone" finish of course.
And old/very old stone works and even statues eroded by exposure to the elements can appear "natural" to the less observant critic.
So even if such a stone (and this example is likely from a demolished building somewhere in the poster's area) did exhibit signs, when new, of which tools were used, weathering could have worn any such marks away long before the building was torn down.

Here's an example of that type of stonework......

 

[Rookster]

Let me turn it up side down. Nope still don't see it.

 

[Real of Tayopa]

.some hiker, we are not talking about architecture, but figures. there they rough lt, work the shape, then the details,I

There are no rough cuts
i agree with you on the stone masonry, on the first pass.they do not finish the statues l

Seems that we can all agree that the chunk of rock in your photos is definitely not a "statue" of any kind.
However molgreg, the first and last photos IMO, do show enough evidence of deliberate shaping and smoothing on at least two adjacent sides to identify it as a cap or corner stone.
So I will ask again.....what is the history of the area where you found this rock on the surface of the ground ?
