The depressions are actually quite wrong for a skull. <BR/><BR/>Context is also important. That feature was discussed as far back as 1998, but no mention of a resemblence to a skull was ever uttered back then. That's because the image we saw at the time, one taken from overhead, showed no resemblence to a face or skull whatsoever.<BR/><BR/>One of the criteria often suggested for determining whether a geological feature might be a huge sculpture, would be that it<BR/>appears to be appropriate for its subject matter if seen from several angles. Think about those "Old Man of the Mountain" crags which usually only show that way in profile, compared to the sculptures at Mt. Rushmore.Carol Maltbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693212305194138330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147219.post-69852658885027667942007-02-15T01:39:00.000-06:002007-02-15T01:39:00.000-06:00Brent--The feature the ESA is calling a "skull" *i...Brent--<BR/><BR/>The feature the ESA is calling a "skull" *isn't* the Face. I think they're trying to confuse the issue with that image.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074004681516756703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147219.post-80537282536265622652007-02-14T05:07:00.000-06:002007-02-14T05:07:00.000-06:00I like the attribute "skull"I like the attribute <A HREF="http://boodangy.blogspot.com/2006/09/cydonian-face-more-of-skull.html" REL="nofollow">"skull"</A>merlinhoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065505795981128058noreply@blogger.com
