Is it the top-right round shape or the whole rock formation?

I think the whole rock formation, it is known as "worrirer".
Is it the top-right round shape |
Do you see a head there?!

There is a head of Dias on the West side of the Acropolis, but can't find a pick yet. Guess it's time to get a scanner..

No seriously now, I can see a round shape that looks like it was processed somehow. But you haven't replied to my question.

I've just heard it, maybe it is thought that it is the head of the statue of Zeus at Olympia (one of Seven Wonders)

I don't know, this is a head of Zeus at top of mount Nemrut in the east of Turkey:
Do these relate to each other?
