Explore the mysteries of Cydonia on Mars - home to the famous Face and Pyramid structures
The Mars Cydonia Connection is a comprehensive web platform dedicated to exploring the enigmatic Cydonia region on Mars. This region gained worldwide attention after NASA's Viking 1 orbiter captured images in 1976 showing what appears to be a humanoid face and pyramid-like structures.
This project aims to:
- Present scientific data and historical information about the Cydonia region
- Explore the famous "Face on Mars" and surrounding structures
- Provide a timeline of discoveries and missions related to Cydonia
