However, soon I obtained graphics software and started investigating direct in the science data for myself much closer and more carefully. I quickly determined that the "tubes" were actually a long line of many side-by-side short ridges parallel to each other built by some life form operating in shallow water flowing down a slope on one side of a long trough system. The many ridges were actually formed on one slope of the trough system in shallow water flowing down that slope and confined visually width wise and elongated length wise due to the long length of the trough system's slope. Looking at them down their long length but short width created this segmented "tube" form appearance in basic. This appearance was further refined and enhanced visually by the confining effect of image tampering on either side of the site's water flow slope. Back then I was just beginning to be exposed to and did not fully understand the presence of the image tampering and how it altered the look of site
