The Crowned Face or what is sometimes referred to as the King Face is located within Libya Montes region of Mars and ever since its discovery, in the summer of 2000 (M02-03051) by fellow Mars researcher Greg Orme, this complex facial monument has received a lot of attention among the anomaly hunting community. Unfortunately it would take a little over ten years of image requests and patiently waiting before NASA would release a new image of this intriguing formation. Well, finally in the summer of 2010 The University of Arizona released a HiRISE image of the formation that confirms all the facial features of this amazing geoglyph.  Note: the original MOC image release of the Crown Face was extensively analyzed in my second book: The Martian Codex: More Reflections from Mars (2009).

Here is a new and larger enhancement of the Crown Face HiRISE image (018368_1830), with a little contrast adjustment.  Now stand back from your monitor and watch the conjoined faces...emerge. GJH |

The left eyeball is pretty stunning - looks like an iris and a pupil:  |

Although the conjoined half-faces that merge together to form the Crowned Face composite on Mars may appear unconventional, its overall design shares a kinship with the traditions of Modern art. A similar use of conjoined faces was utilized in a series of paintings by Mark Rothko in the early 1940’s.  Painting by Mark Rothko, The Omen of the Eagle (1942) GJH |

Back in 2009 marsrocks found two birds next to the Crowned Face.  GJH |

WOW, the new HiRISE image really confirms all the facial features that were seen in the original MOC image. This is very exciting. I like the close-up that shows the eye.
The two birds are "interesting" ....I'd like to see a closer look.

The paper “ A Composite Band of Facial Features within a Winding Valley of Libya Montes on the Planet Mars” was presented at the Space Technology & Applications International Form (STAIF II) on April 18, 2015 at the MCM Eleganté Hotel located in the heart of Albuquerque, New Mexico.  The presentation was received well by the public and attending members. Many in the audience were stunned by the formations tonality and the almost photographic appearance of the facial formation.

Pareidolia...plain and simple...admire your imagination, but seriously...science has demonstrated why we see what we see...I'm sure I'm not the first to suggest pareidolia.
