That's just plain wrong. The simplest explanation is that it is carved by erosion, and not the hands (or tentacles or feelers) of aliens. We know that such things happen all the time. Look at The Old Man of the Mountain, a rock formation that (until it collapsed in 2003) looked a lot like a face. Snapdragon seed capsules look more like faces. And of course, don't forget Vladmir Lenin, who appeared in my shower curtain. Seeing faces in semi-random or random patterns is called pareidolia, and is a well-understood psychological phenomenon.
