Default Is it a well done deception or is it genuine?

Saw this on the news some minutes ago and found an English article.
So what do you say a deception or genuine ?

My first thought is - It's a deception and it will stay this way until the scientist has examined the object.

The object, which is estimated to be around 10-12 feet (3-3.6 metres) tall and made of some type of metal, was found planted in the ground, tucked in a red rock cove.
The movie 2001 came into my mind too

"It's not from us."
If the base is tucked in concrete, it's a hoax

Another is it a deception or genuine?

There are now businesses that sell fake people.

It doesn't have the 1:4:9 ratio to be from the TMA.

You mean the 1:4:9:16:25 ratio?

Clarke wrote about that in The Lost Worlds of 2001. It was silly to assume that there were only three dimensions.

I think the scientist have made it clear by now, there are more dimensions than these three. There is also a fourth dimensions, which is Time.

On this they agree..When it comes to more dimensions they have different opinion on how many there is.

Back to this object.

I have only seen the movie 2001 once many years ago. So I may have missed this 1.4.9 Ratio and I haven't read the book.

But do this object to have this ratio ?

The monolith from the movie was found on the moon and it was black. Not shining metal.

Time is not a dimension, but it can move across dimensions
