A peculiar mountain formation in Chile, eerily resembling a human face, has been spotted on Google Maps, leaving both locals and internet users baffled. The uncanny resemblance has ignited speculation over whether it is a natural phenomenon or an ancient man-made structure.
The Discovery
The strange geological feature was found in the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth. The 'face' appears to have distinct eyes, a nose, and a mouth, carved into the rocky terrain. Some believe it could be a result of wind and erosion, while others speculate it might be a relic of an ancient civilisation.
Natural or Man-Made?
Geologists suggest that such formations can occur naturally over millennia due to weathering. However, the precision of the facial features has led some to question if human hands played a role. The Atacama Desert is known for its rich archaeological history, including the famous Nazca Lines in neighbouring Peru.
Internet Buzz
Since its discovery, the 'face' mountain has gone viral, with users debating its origins. Some have even drawn parallels to the 'Face on Mars,' a famous optical illusion captured by NASA in 1976. Whether natural or artificial, the formation has certainly captured global attention.
Could this be another mysterious landmark waiting to be explored, or simply a trick of nature? Only further investigation will tell.
