Photos like these invite people to see what they want to see. With
regards to the 'face', that image is old - there are newer ones that
show it for what it is - a pile of dirt and rocks:

The human brain is very good at organizing disparate elements into
recognizable patterns. From years of sitting in stalls in public
restrooms I have become very good at recognizing faces in floor tiles
while I attend to business, but I assure you that the 'faces' are
constructions of my mind and don't really exist. Like 'deja-vu'.

Damn John, I should have passed this by you in the first place!  You
always have the simplest answers for life's most complicated problems.- Hide quoted text -

What's the advantage in seeking a complicated, convorted explanation
for a phenomenon when a simple one will do?

What are the odds, or how is it possible that nature can make not
one but 50 pyramids? John some of them look to exact to be made
randomly by natural forces. Why do people dumb down when confronted
with simple observations? They immediately go for what they are
familiar with.

I know the answer! If you accept that these structures are made by
intelligent life, everything changes, and the suffering of change is a
painful experience, it's much easier to get up go out and do it again.
You have to give up the idea we came from apes, religion has to be
looked at in a different light. I see why NASA, and the GOVT.
photoshopped the Mars face.

BTW, John did you know the word Cario, means Mars in Egyptian?

BTW, I'm not proposing these pyramids were made by aliens, they were
probably made by us in a distant ancient civilization. Sometimes the
simplist explanation is the best? That worked pretty well back in the
14th century, but it's a different world today. Occam's Razor need a
revision or two.

Occam's razor, also Ockham's razor,[1] is the principle that "entities
should not be multiplied unnecessarily." It is apocryphally attributed
to 14th-century English logician and Franciscan friar, William of
Ockham. The principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon
should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that
make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory
hypothesis or theory. The principle is often expressed in Latin as the
lex parsimoniae ("law of parsimony", "law of economy", or "law of
succinctness"): entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem,
roughly translated as "entities must not be multiplied beyond
necessity."
