Ya, the name of the 2 people involved is John West and Robert Schoch. Now
the difficulty is that human history must be rewritten if these 2 are right.
Which they are. This also raises questions about who/how those monuments
were built. And don't believe that bull about levers and rollers. Its just
not a goer.
The best bit is at the end they showed a picture of the face on Mars at hi
noon, and folded it on the line of symmetry. The human face that we're used
to can clearly be seen when folded over.
But the best bit is when the other half is folded over. Its the face of a lion.
