It’s easy to imagine that it’s been worn down by Mars’s brutal weather in that time, but it also doesn’t answer where the Martians have gone since. Homo sapiens only emerged 300,000 years ago at least, which would date the Face on Mars to within the last 300,000 years since they’d need to know what we look like. And these early humans didn’t look like us, either, nor did they look too much like the Face on Mars. The Face on Mars would have to be relatively recent for this hypothesis to make sense, too, since hominids have only existed for the last two million years. But building an enormous stone relief definitely isn’t the easiest way to communicate if they can see what we look like, they can probably also send radio messages. The Martians who built it want us to know that they’re out there and they’re watching us. The most obvious answer would be that this was some kind of message to Earth. For a start: who would it be supposed to represent? Why would Martians want to build a huge human face on their planet? It just looks like an ordinary rock feature.Įven beyond this evidence, there are a few other problems with the idea that aliens built a giant Face on Mars. Eventually, additional NASA missions to Mars in 20 respectively were able to produce far better images of the Face, in high enough resolution that you can tell it doesn’t resemble a face at all. The Face is vast, over 1.2 miles long and around 0.9 miles wide, which would make it significantly larger than even the Great Pyramid of Giza, which has a base length of 756 feet – or only 0.14 miles. The formation is still seen by many as a key piece of evidence in the argument that Mars may have once supported intelligent life. It even formed the basis of an early episode of “The X-Files”, in which the Face possesses an astronaut. In the decades between Viking 1’s photo and additional images being captured from Mars, imaginations ran away with themselves trying to explain the presence of the ominous Face. Of course, not everybody buys this explanation, especially not when the Face on Mars has an undeniable resemblance to a human visage. However, since the beginning, scientists have universally agreed that the Face is just a natural rock formation. The Face itself certainly does look like a face in this picture. The image sent back by Viking 1 in the 70s was of a large plain called Cydonia, home to many unique geographical features as well as the Face on Mars.
This is Unveiled, and today we’re answering the extraordinary question: can we understand the Face on Mars? But what’s the true solution to this puzzle? Showing what appears to be a human face set into the landscape, it’s become an enduring image in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, heralded by many as proof of life on Mars. On July 25th, 1976, history was made when NASA’s Viking 1 orbiter sent back an intriguing image of the Martian surface.
