It was first imaged in detail by the Viking 1 and Viking 2 orbiters. Cydonia (region of Face on Mars)Ĭydonia is a region on the planet Mars that has attracted everyone.

This face is pretty uncanny and vastly superior to that alledged “ face on mars”. It has a screen name ‘ Super Granny‘ on Google Earth.
