 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.
 II> 
 II> AH-HEM!!!  If you will recall, the origional photos were shot when the
 II> "face" was only lighted on one side, and about 1/3 of it was in total
 II> darkness, so it did not register!  So where do you get 20 years,
 II> (since the first pictures, I know!), but the wind and blowing sand have
 II> had possibly THOUSANDS of years to destroy it if it WERE made by
 II> intelligent beings! Have you seen the computer reconstructions of what
 II> the Sphynx probably looked like when it was first carved?  (Or was THAT
 II> a freak of "natural action" too???)  LOL!
 
First of all, I'd go with computer reconstructions in National Geographic,
(I have that issue) NOT that *&%$#@ show "Sightings."
I wouldn't trust them to tell me what color the sky is.
 
 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?
 II> 
 II> Not much different than a desert with lots of rocks.
 
Exactly.
 
 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!" :-(
 II> 
 II> Hmmm... Well, they have done computer reconstructions of what the
 II> Sphynx looked like when it was first carved, (assuming THAT wasn't a
 II> natural "freak!), and it doesn't look a BIT like it does now!  I wonder
 II> of some computer geek with a Cray will do a similar reconstruction of
 II> the "face" and we'll see what THAT looked like!  
 
See above.
