text: After the first picture of the face on Mars was released to the public, NASA explained the picture is just, "a huge rock formation...which resembles a human head...formed by shadows giving the ilusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." It was later added that it is just another Martian mesa,, common around Cydonia. The only difference that seperates this one form the rest are unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh.
