- Well, let's see now:
- 1) It really WAS a face once, but it's eroded since it was built;
- 2) Well, it's not really shaped like a face, but it was designed so that,
- from orbit, it would LOOK like a face.
- 3) Maybe the "pyramids" don't look like pyramids at two-meter resolution,
- but if we could look at them at 2-centimeter resolution, they'd
- obviously be artifacts;
- 4) (This one's for the innumerates out there) But, given the locations of
- the "pyramids," Hoagland's come up with LOTS of interesting
- correlations. They MUST have been put where they are intentionally!
- Need anybody say more?
