Since back 1996 I have my doubt about this
object to be a monument portraiting a "face". This mainly
because I've always been against the "antropocentric"
vision of the universe so diffused in our society.
We - human beings - know how our faces look like; simply thinking other
races should know it, and then make a huge monument so big to be visible
from space, to catch our attention is an insult to everyone's intelligency.
Too selfish; we are not so important. And then it would have been simpler
and safer ways to accomplish this task, than relyng on the fantsy of the
supposed space observers, and to precision of the engineers in charge to
build it.
Much more practical to build a huge square object, togheter with straight
lines and possibly embedding some symbol and binary sequences. Not a big
effort, and quite visible from space.
Now that we have closer picture of "the face" it's clear that is
not a monument of such kind, and not a monument at all. It's only an
hill.
It shows some artificiality, anyway, but there are other stranger shapes
than this, for instance, like the Fortress
But this doesn't mean that cydonia plain
has no secrets.
Notice what's inside the circular hole (not a crater) in the lower part of
the image.

Take a closer look at this image:
notice that there are two crater-like objects and a third object flatter
and of irregular shape.
There are also lines on the plain, that could be massive walls.
The hill itself, in the center of the image, shows an ineplicable "crown" of walls in all its perimeter, and another one surrounding the top.

This is a natural object, probably a chip of the crust, flinged from the impact of the asteroid that caused the big impact crater visible on the right side of the context image (above) that throwed largesharp fragments all around. At least was natural, before
something (or "someone") modified its shape. |
The area where the image was taken (green box)
This image comes from another region of Mars: notice the analogies.
Original is NASA sp124005
Notice the waste deposits (coloured in dark)

Original image is at NASA M0401903 Something or "someone" has digged these open-sky mines. The mining tecnique is rudimentary at best; proceeding from the outer to the inner, without terracements and eroding the side of the hill without any care of preserving the shape and accessibility of the quarry. We already seen a quarry like these in the village one. Notice the perfectly smooth funnel-shaped hole on the plateau. Compare this image with the fortress (above) and notice the similarities on the left side. |
