Posted @withregram • @ancientdestinations On August 20, 1975, NASA launched Viking 1, with its destination being Mars. The Viking 1 was equipped with a landing pod capable of photography that would send data from the surface of the planet. Its main purpose was to determine if there was any form of life on Mars. Viking 1 sent out pods to land on the planet. The pods took pictures to show how the planet looked from the surface.

Pictures were taken of: impressions of depleted rivers; extinct volcanoes; two polar caps where the ice was easily visible; and deserts that may have had ice underneath them. One of these deserts, named Cydonia, had several intriguing features on it. There were several pyramids that seem to be identical to the pyramids in Egypt. However, what was more curious was a sphinx-like formation ten miles away that looked very similar to a face. The formation has been named the "Face on Mars".
