The strange thing to me was the amount of erosion at the base of the two halves suggests that the divide has been present for many years (I don’t know the erosion rate for this type of rock in this environment.
But the bottoms of the rock are worn away to the extreme, while the divide looks scarcely touched. I suppose the rock near the ground is more effected by sand blown closely over the ground, but I would have thought that would have effected the bottom of the divide, moreso than the top.

Damn aliens, flying down, using their lasers to cut completely random rocks in half for no reason, then flying off…

Termites. Their queen demands an improbably long and narrow hive as a statement in allegedly utopian urbanism; and they needed to clear an appropriate site.
