Before going to my main site you may be interested in a photo
depicted in the new book getting attention today, Dark Mission....
Here is one of the photos from the book reported by the Russian Pravda news release:
Captioned: Ancient city ruins

I already had the image this came from in two versions.

This formation is a volcanic caldera.
I will try to find the source of these images and post it here. These are from the Apollo 15 & 17 missions.
I'm afraid this is another of the authors fanciful theories without merit to promote book sales.
UPDATE:
I found the source confirming my explanation above.
Along with the original images. Scroll down near the bottom of the following page:
http://history.nasa.gov/SP-362/ch7.1.htm
Just in case the above page "disappears" (NASA is notorious for doing this),
I copied the entire page and made it into a pdf.
The image and descriptions start on page 14.
Apollo Over The Moon (755Kbs) Chapter 7
Below is the description in "Apollo Over The Moon".

NASA SP-362 was not in a downloadable format,
so I purchased the document and created a pdf of the entire series.
