THE HAND OF POWER

The above striking first image is of the Coprates Chasma Region on Mars. This is the great rift or crack system deep in the planetary surface in the middle hemispheric area of the planet stretching east (right) and west (left) in the region. I've arbitrarily given it this general coloration as opposed to a more normal reddish hue associated with Mars because in my opinion this color provides the best contrast between the different objects demonstrating a little more detail and it just happens to also have the additional plus of being very nice looking as well. However, just remember that it isn't likely a realistic color.

The second image above provides a bit closer view. What you are seeing here, if this side of the planet was facing you, is a view that would be growing larger and larger and increasingly making itself known to you if you were approaching the planet from space long before you came to the planet's outer atmospheric boundaries.

The above third image is a much closer but still wide regional view of this same scene and the main area of Coprates Chasma. This demonstrates that this "Hand" and "Rain" imagery is unquestionably a function of land forms, surface topography, and topography coloration as you see above. Beyond this point of view distance, as you move closer and closer, the unique visuals blend more and more into the land topography becoming less recognizable eventually to the point of not being recognizable at all.

So the big question is whether this symbolic imagery is a function of chance "natural" formed land topography or is it a function of intentional artificial creation manipulating land topography, just on a unbelievably colossal scale?

Once the relationship with the land topography is understood, most will assume that this distant view symbolism is just a chance configuration of natural land topography like clouds in the sky or natural land forms here on Earth on a much smaller scale that sometimes take sort of recognizable shapes. Truthfully, I cannot answer this question definitively and will not pretend to do so. What I will express is some points and questions of my own that I think are germane to any consideration on this subject.
