Both the report and the photograph are fakes. The photo is a doctored image whose original belongs to Cornell University in the USA. The real photo, taken on Sept. 16, 2000, shows the actual excavation of a mastodon (prehistoric elephant) skeleton by Cornell University scientists in Hyde Park, New York.

Further details are available here: http://www.graphics.cornell.edu/ outreach/mastodon/aerial-views.html. In the faked version, a picture of a human skeleton has been superimposed over the scene, along with a small human figure added to create the impression that the "skeleton" is gigantic.

To reiterate, the "human skeleton" photo is a fake, and has nothing to do with Saudi Aramco.

Thanks for your inquiry,
