I attributed the famous elevated "Face on Mars", and the "King Face" in the dunes of Mars, to the human tendency to perceive faces, plus the many degrees of freedom in Mars photos (2 degrees of freedom for latitude and longitude, 2 for illumination angle, 2 for camera angle, 1 for scale, 1 for orientation, and an infinity for changes produced by drifting sand). Now however we have the "humanoid statue" on Mars.
The Iliad describes "the Gods" often intervening subtly in ways that humans could not distinguish from chance. What could be subtler than "chance art" on Mars? It's gentler than showing us 500 terracotta statues of the Emperor's soldiers all in a row.
Europe gave Africa the motor vehicle and the machine gun: massacres and venereal disease. "The extraterrestrials" pursue a gentler information transfer.
