text: One reason that this landform is not a face is because NASA revealed a close up picture of the face, revealing only a landform. That picture had a caption that stated, "huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." Before, there were pictures that weren't as high resolution, so it looked like a face but is now proven to be just a landform. This shows that the landform that looks like a face, is just a landform since there is a photo that shows what the "face" actually is. This means the face is just a mesa or butte.
