Vast underground ruins hidden beneath a sleepy modern Japanese town, enormous cyclopean stone pillars arranged in a circular hall, surfaces covered in unknown glyphs and spirals, mixture of ancient Asian and alien patterns, at the center a colossal idol half buried in darkness, many closed eyes carved all over its body, cracked stone skin revealing something organic inside, a lone scholar with glasses and an old lantern standing on a narrow stone bridge, tiny compared to the idol, warm lantern light casting harsh angular shadows on the walls, water dripping from the ceiling, stalactites like teeth, intricate pen lines, dense textures, Morohoshi Daijirou style cosmic horror, combination of archaeology and occult, 1970s horror manga atmosphere, monochrome ink, high contrast black and white, full page illustration, subtle mechanical devices partly fused with stone, feeling of ancient technology beyond human understanding
