Now maybe finding a head of a statue is not significant to NASA since they over look so many archeological discoveries daily on Mars, but to me its significant. The face is not only the face of an intelligent species that once lived on Mars, but also the face of a child about 10-14 years of age. The curly hair, chubby cheeks and chin really stand out, not to mention the eyes, nose, mouth and forehead. The hair...the hair seems to be in a bun on the top, so it has a high probability of being a female. The statue head is looking out from the small hill and its facing outward on purpose...its where it was placed, so that it can look out to the horizon...I'm guessing its probably aimed at the setting sun. Also the face itself is very small, about 3 inches across, or 6-7cm. That means the probability of this species being 30 cm or 1 foot tall is very likely.
Here on Earth there are many short people, a few that are only 20-28 inches tall, 1.5-2 feet tall. And those people had a normal intelligence and you or I. So its safe to assume that a species once lived on Mars and was only 20-30 cm tall. Clearly they had a high intelligence...just look at that incredible detail of the face they made. It was probably made to be a head stone...for a grave...a final goodbye to a loved one lost. I really wonder how may archeological artifacts are passed by the NASA rover every year? Hundreds...thousands...too many to even believe possible, and yet...the rover passes by as if the discoveries don't even exist. Ask yourself why? Because, the rover is not there to inform the public, but instead to appease and drop feed the public boring scientific info the control the publics curiosity.
