In July 1976, experts at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory made a striking find on Mars. While analyzing the photos taken by the Viking 1 probe, which was examining the planet's surface in search of possible landing sites for its sister ship, the Viking 2, they discovered a rock formation in a region called Cydonia that resembled the face of a pharaoh looking up . The resolution of the spacecraft instruments barely allowed to discern more details than those of a vaguely human form, a fact that was exploited by some who argued that NASA was hiding evidence of contact with aliens to indicate that "the Face of Mars "It was an artificial structure built by a technically advanced extraterrestrial civilization. In 1998 and 2001, the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft returned to photograph the area at only 400 kilometers of altitude, and definitively put an end to the "conspiracy" hypotheses: the supposed eyes, nose and lips were nothing but peaks and depressions.
