To all who misread the "Taken by": It means "Photograph of the monolith taken by Patrick A. Mackie" and not literally taken.

This was definitely dated back. Maybe by changing the EXIF information? Note how there are many fingerprints on the monolith that only appeared after many people visited it. They cannot be seen on the early photos from right after the discovery.

  Fingerprints are hardly permanent, especially out here in the desert. Although it does not rain often, when it does wind comes with it and tends to wipe everything clean and then dirty it up again in whole new ways. If someone had a time lapse of the 4 years it was out there, I am confident you'd see markings come and go from its surface throughout its entire time in the desert. If you really want to do digital archaeology, you should be looking at the buildup of dirt in corners, and erosion of the rock surfaces at its base, not the amount of dirt on a flat surface.
