text: The messa: "The Face on Mars" was discovered in 1976 by a voyager named Viking. The messa was revealed to the public a few days later. The authors reasoned it would draw attention to Mars. The reasoning for revealing the messa proves it was not created by aliens it is a natural landform. Things like the Appilation Mountains were not created but are natural landforms. the same thing goes for "The Face on Mars," it wasnt created by aliens but is a natural landform.
