Unfortunately many researchers involved in the study of Martian geology are unaware of the long tradition of half and composite artworks and have prematurely excluded the mirroring technique from their criteria for establishing artificiality. This idea of mirroring half faces and figures is an acceptable research tool throughout the archaeology community. Mirrors were so important to the Maya that they even worshiped a god known as Smoking Mirror. Historically the Maya and the Olmec produced some of the finest mirrors ever produced in the New World. There are many educated Western minded viewers that have difficulty seeing the figures and faces that appear “hidden” within many of these complex Peruvian designs and the carved compositions often found within Mesoamerican artworks.īecause of this asymmetrical ideal, The Cydonia Institute has taken the liberty of mirroring (or duplicating) each half of these Martian geoglyphic faces in an effort to complete the partial image, therefore providing the viewer with a more comfortable, complete image that completes bilateral symmetry.Ĭontrary to what many of the detractors of this technique have advocated - mirroring is a legitimate tool utilized by many scientist in the study of archaeology. If one would examine the many bifurcated and composite art works of the Mesoamerican and Peruvian cultures one would quickly realize that symmetry is not at all the standard. However, this is not the archetype for facial geoglyphs observed on Mars and throughout Mesoamerican and Peruvian cultures.

As an example, when viewing the Face on Mars, the western mind expects to see a full frontal view of a complete portrait, representing a generic human face. The idea of sculpting a fully symmetrical face or figure is a Western model, which unfortunately has become the “standard” adopted by most academics as a universal ideal.
In short most viewers tend to look for a classic face, someone like Elvis. Due to the fact that many people are incapable of recognizing half faces in a topographical field and cannot fully perceive complex facial composites, such as those produced in the Mesoamerican and Peruvian cultures, when looking at a proposed geoglyphic “face” they tend to look for the recognizable features of a full frontal view of a face. It must be emphasized that every geoglyphic rendering of a partial head or “face" that has been discovered can be seen without the aid of duplication. Many of the geoglyphs that have been found on Mars by The Cydonia Institute are either partial, half-images, which appear “cut-in-half or bifurcated two-faced composites that only rely on mirroring (or duplication) as an aid - to be fully realized.
Overall these types of images tend to be generic facial hybrids that are distorted and grotesque and are for the most part simply impressionistic gestures. Simple facial designs may appear as dashes or dots. These types of masks and stacked faces are usually just one-dimensional images that are whimsical, web-like contours without any substance or real depth. This phenomenon has been classified as simulacrum or false image. Strange mask-like faces like those created in Dan's parsing of the Face on Mars can sometimes form in images that may also appear in a stacked formation, much like a totem.
When focusing on an unfamiliar pattern the brain wishes to make sense of the chaos and will focus on familiar aspects in the image that can be recognized. Because their seems to be a great misunderstanding and miss-use of mirroring space imagery of many formations on Mars such as the Face on Mars, at this point in our discussion of "New Discovery Found About The Face On Mars " I'd like to address the anthropomorphic effect of mirroring and provide a guide in the identification of accepted geoglyphic structures on Mars.įirst of all when any surface is mirrored, even a random-patterned surface such as marble or wood grain, bilateral symmetry is instantly created.
