The things I see (not actually sure about the little people):

[wikimg:jooidmjy]File:Mysterysolved.PNG[/wikimg:jooidmjy]

The giant head is facing us but tilted a little toward the black blob in the bottom right.
Rejoice, glory is ours. Our young men have not died in vain. Their graves need no flowers. The tapes have recorded their names.

Those boxes are what I thought were coffins.

The "head" is implied that of Adam, right? Well, if it is, I don't think that it could be a head (or at least the head of Adam) because, if you look at this picture:
SPOILER: Show

Adam's head is facing downward during excavation. You said that the head was facing towards us, but that shouldn't be the case if it was Adam.

On the flip side, though, if we reasoned that the head was facing downward, and it's just that we can't see all of Adam having been excavated yet, I could fathom that this picture is an excavation of Adam.
The little cross-shaped object in the center of the picture could be a half-excavated Spear of Longinus and the two things on the side could be half-excavated arms, perhaps...?

If that's a head it's remarkably featureless. If it's the top of Adam's head facing into the ground, the featurelessness might make sense, but what is the black blob right underneath it?

I can totally see the face that Seele outlined. I decided to be a prick and point out all the features, as well as enhance them with the burn tool.

It's very much reminiscent of a stone idol or a mummy. It's very hard and skeletal.
"Now, from Nature we obtain abundant information about ourselves, and precious little about others. About the woman you clasp in your arms, can you say with certainty that she does not feign pleasure? About the woman you mistreat, are you quite sure that from abuse she does not derive some obscure and lascivious satisfaction? Let us confine ourselves to simple evidence: through thoughtfulness, gentleness, concern for the feelings of others we saddle our own pleasure with restrictions, and make this sacrifice to obtain a doubtful result." -The Divine Marquis

Actually, I sort of see a nose and mouth, but just a blur where the eyes should be.

While a lone gigantic top-hat looks somberly on.

Actually looking at the indistinct shapes to the sides... could we be seeing a couple dudes tossing a corpse off the side of a ship into the new dead sea?

The thing on the bottom. If it is a giant head it looks like some sort of cap has been pulled down over its forehead and eyes.

^ I don't think reflections of light in water can be right. There's definately a large piece of equipment dead center in this image. If it is a kneeling man, there's another guy immediately to his right, circled in orange on Seele00TextOnly's image above (is he wearing a bowtie?), and they are both looking at a readout on the device.

I don't see the person to his immediate right in Seele's images. I see "Scientists" but their proportions are much too small if the kneeling man is that big. Do you mean the "Statue"? The reason I think it's a statue is that he's standing on some form of a ledge, and the way his feet are split. It's an odd stance, to have your feet pointing left and right, heels touching, at such an extreme angle. I can't imagine it being anything other then a statue on a ledge overlooking the "Kneeling Man".

Those are absolutely not feet, that is some object bolted to the ground with an oval flange-like object. It almost looks like a fire hydrant but I couldn't find one that didn't use a round flange at the base. I also disagree with the statue assesment, as statues are not bolted to the ground with oval flange. EDIT: Well, I'm not sure... I've always thought it was bolted, and you can see what appears to be a bolt on the right, but I guess you can't see one on the left. Regardless, it is definitely a solid shape, not feet.

Regarding the thing everyone keeps saying is a building, as far as I can tell the line immediately to its right goes upward and then curves 90 degrees to the left, forming what people are taking as the roof. The curved line looks like a traffic signal, or freeway sign, sort of like here: http://www.archicentral.com/wp-content/images/Parasite-Catalyst-Freeway-Wind-Turbines-By-Joseph-De-Le-Ree.jpg (in the background, the foreground thing is some CG architectural design)

I mean the midmost "scientist" in Seele's image. The third from the left or second from the right. He's not as out of proportion as he appears because we are only seeing his head and shoulders. In your image the top of his face is directly to the right if the word "water". He's staring up and to the left.

I think I see "His" face, but it's way to blurry. The "kneeling man", "statue", and "building" in the background are pretty sharp, he just looks ghostly, assuming I'm seeing what you are.

I agree about the building, but to me "Kneeling Man" and "statue" just look like big blobs. "Kneeling Man" may or may not be there (I'm still holding out for the giant head); I don't see a statue in the black blob at all. Is the smaller dark spot where the head should be even attached to it? Or is it further away down at ground level? The only clear detail is the brace bolted to the tile floor. To me, bowtie guy is at least as clear as kneeling man, about 50/50. (Of course, I can't have both Bowtie Guy and Giant Head; one of them would be wildly out of proportion.)
