The U-Wanda Proof that People See Faces in Natural Terrain Page
Have a comment on this page? Email the Odd Emperor!
Holy simulacrum Batman! Do people really see faces in random landscapes? Why; they certainly do! Is this some strange form of communication by our deep and distant ancestors, preserved in the living rock until someone wise enough comes along to tell us that it looks just like a character from Star Wars? Or is this some strange trick of the human mind?
I wanted to see for myself if it was difficult to see faces in random terrain. I gave myself about one hour on the internet and here is what I came up with. I did not attempt to manipulate or rotate any of thease images during my search.
Time; + 5m.
7 km E of Silver Springs, Nevada, United States 23 Jun 1994
Sort of a long haired witch. OK, but this is kind of lame, what else was out there?
Time; +7m.
217 km W of Denver, Colorado, United States 03 Sep 1993
This looks like a reclining lady with an arm thrown in back of her head. Not bad but there had to be better things then this!
Time; +14m
8 km NE of Silver Springs,
Nevada, United States 23 Jun 1994
Madonna and child? Nice!
Time; +23m
125 km E of Lubbock, Texas, United States 29 Jan 1996
Holy crap batman! Those darn Texans carved out a mile long rendition of King Kong!
Time; +43m.
250 km SE of Portland, Oregon, United States 01 Jul 1994
Looks like the Phantom from that old comic strip? See the others?
Time; +50 (OK, I cheated slightly, I knew what Ute mountain looked like and just called up a photo.)

this is very impressive from a distance. Legends hold that the sleeping form a great Indian who will someday rise and give the lands back to the Native Americans. Wonder how long it took them to carve that, or perhaps it just occurred naturally.
Time: + 55.

And just to make it challenging, I peeked at exactly THREE Malin pics until I saw this. Must be a long lost buried sculpture of an Aztec on the planet Mars. WHAT? An Aztec on Mars! Call Ted Kopple! No wait a moment, it's just a sand dune.
The point is; I found this crap in about 60 minutes and I wasn't even trying!
This entire "I can see faces in sand dunes" stuff is SO bogus. There is nothing new here, people have been seeing things in tree bark, mountains, rocks, hillsides for thousands of years. Now we see the same things in satellite and aerial photographs. Big deal! It's natural! Live with it! The Odd Emperor thinks that people who belive this is significant should get a life. By the way, the scientfic term forthis phenomina is Pareidolia "a type of illusion or misperception involving a vague or obscure stimulus being perceived as something clear and distinct" acording to the Skeptics Dictionary.

Better yet if people want to see shapes in landforms and get paid for it, the could go back to school and really learning about photo reconnaissance instead of dabbing. I guarantee that they will see lots of faces and just about anything else imaginable. If they don't have time to go back to school. They can find some people in the field and talk to them. The experts would be happy to tell you exactly why you see faces in terrain, everyone does but few people know why. This is why people see images of Jesus in tacos, the virgin mary in a window and other silly crap. Human beings are hard- wired to recognize faces and if you have a enough random terrain to look at, sooner or later you will see them.
The point of all this? Some
have allegedly spent a huge amount of time to prove a pet theory's (in
this case that there are a host of unexplainable face images on Mars or
whatever). I actually commend them for that. What they have not done is
their homework. This is not how real science is done.
So; you have a strange sounding idea? Great! Go out and find some evidence but don't make up your mind that you are right UNTIL you are satisfied that the preponderance of the evidence supports your theory. Go and visit the places in question if you can, talk to the people who make their living in the fields, Archaeology, Anthropology, Geology, Photography. Don't just come to a conclusion and run around gathering evidence for it. That's the way ignorant people do science. In fact it's not science at all, it's just ignorant!
People like that are sometimes called; crackpots. Do you want to be called a crackpot? No, I did not think so.
So... if you host a goofy web page that purports to prove this or that "fact" and you have obviously not made any attempt to justify your opinion , you may just get an e-mail from ...
