a) photo of Barbie's tent ( as seen in the 1978 Barbie catalogue) by Mattel? 

Originally the egg silo was going to be presented as a pyramid shaped structure. 

Perhaps the triangular opening of the tent has some connection with this original idea when choosing it, but they dropped the idea of the pyramid since it seemed too recognisably like what you will find in Egypt. 

So the tent becomes the egg silo as far as planning out the composition, and the dolls become the ancient fossilized remains of ancient people or their sculptures merged with the magma

c) One above the other

 

d) The large pebble in the background becomes a Cthulhu. The head of the doll and her bright orange tope become its bear like claws.

 

e) The women sitting around the camping table become ancient fossilised remnant of alien people, or the worn down remnants of their sculptures. The man becomes something barely visible at all

 

e.i) A doll of a woman standing behind the table becomes this seemingly seated fossil like remains figure
