Hi, Ross;
 
 ML> ... 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?
 RS> Not enough to erase the "face" in only 20 years.
 
AH-HEM!!!  If you will recall, the origional photos were shot when the
"face" was only lighted on one side, and about 1/3 of it was in total
darkness, so it did not register!  So where do you get 20 years, (since
the first pictures, I know!), but the wind and blowing sand have had
possibly THOUSANDS of years to destroy it if it WERE made by intelligent
beings! Have you seen the computer reconstructions of what the Sphynx
probably looked like when it was first carved?  (Or was THAT a freak of
"natural action" too???)  LOL!
 
 RS> No, it was simply a screwup based on a poor resolution picture.
 RS> What would the area you live in look like from the air, based on a
 RS> photo with resolution of 1 mile?
 
Not much different than a desert with lots of rocks.
 
 ML> there will be no _proof_ until we actually land a man on mars and
 ML> detailed  inspection of the area is made...
 
 RS> Even then the screwballs will yell "coverup!" :-(
 
Hmmm... Well, they have done computer reconstructions of what the Sphynx
looked like when it was first carved, (assuming THAT wasn't a natural
"freak!), and it doesn't look a BIT like it does now!  I wonder of some
computer geek with a Cray will do a similar reconstruction of the "face"
and we'll see what THAT looked like!  
 
Catch you later... Happy squirming!
