 ML> you still can't really say that... we already know that there are
 ML> extremely  high winds and sandstorms on mars... what's to say that that
 ML> area hasn't  undergone some extremely damaging weather since viking was
 ML> there? 
 II> 
 II> TRUE!  In fact, a wide-angle picture taken at the same time showed not
 II> only wind and blowing sand, but clouds over the area of the "face!" 
 II> IOW, we STILL do NOT have a good picture of it!  So the "proof" STILL
 II> has not been obtained!  (Shaddup, Ross!)   |-/
 
Oh, it's "proof" all right, proof that PT Barnum understated his point.
 
 ML> there will be no _proof_ until we actually land a man on mars and
 ML> detailed  inspection of the area is made...
 II> 
 II> RIGHT!!!  Hopefully later pictures of the area will clear up the
 II> question. 
 
Already "cleared up," except in the minds of those who've bought into
Richard Hoagland's fantasies being spread mostly by his propaganda minister,
Art Goebbels.
 
 II> On the other paw, couldn't that big "splorch" over the "face's" left
 II> eye have been caused by a meteor impact at some time after it was
 II> built, (assuming for a moment that it was built by someone/thing
 II> besides natural planetary dynamics)?  But like I said above, there WERE
 II> clouds and blowing sand in the area, and the picture WAS taken from a
 II> couple of hundred miles up... Besides, _IF_ the face was made by
 II> intelligent life, how many aeons has the wind and blowing sand, (and
 II> acid rain from previous occupants maybe ), had to erode it?  Just
 II> look at how badly the Sphynx has eroded over the aeons since IT was
 II> carved from blowing sand and rain!    :-/ 
 
The sphynx is still recognizable.
The "face" on Mars was a screwup based on a poor resolution photo.
