JPL has now released a processed image of the Face on Mars. . . . It looks nothing like a face.
Is too! It’s a face whose left side shows the ravages of some disease, demonstrating that the Martians were/are more enlightened than us: not ashamed to look squarely at those who are less “perfect”, but able to see beyond the fleshly shell to the true beauty within. Truly we have much to learn from our Barsoomite brethren.
