In what can only be described as one of the most important archaeological and sociological discoveries in human history, The Cydonia Codex offers overwhelming evidence of aesthetic and symbolic design on the surface of the planet Mars. The authors' research encompasses over ten years of study and analysis of NASA photographs of the "Face on Mars" and its surrounding complex. Beginning with the famous 1976 photograph of a mile-long formation found on the surface of Mars that strongly resembles a human face, Haas and Saunders offer side-by-side comparisons of the art and sculpture of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica with a set of corresponding geoglyphic structures found in the Cydonia region of Mars. The implication is staggering--Earth's history and humankind's origins could be very different than commonly believed. Includes black and white photos throughout, as well as illustrations.

About the book >.>.> The controversial "Face on Mars" that has sparked the world's attention was discovered while the citizens of America were engaged in celebrating their nation's Bicentennial. As fireworks were "bursting in air" below the star-lit skies of America, the Viking 1 orbiter was snapping pictures of a myste-rious red planet millions of miles away. Amazingly, one of these pictures, from an area called Cydonia, would reveal an anomalous mesa that exhib-ited a most remarkable portrait of a humanoid face. It was with this one photograph that the real fireworks would ultimately begin. Following its release, NASA firmly stated that the "Face" was nothing more than "a trick of light" and any thoughts to the contrary were quickly dismissed as utterly ridiculous. But it was too late. There was nothing NASA could do to turn back the approaching tide of public opinion. Around the world the controversy had already taken on a life of its own.
