I found a blog post by some guy shilling books about "ancient aliens on mars" and a bunch of other stuff that suggests pareidolia does exist.
I suggest an experiment: go do some washing up and look for faces in the soap bubbles.

pareidolia
Why did you ignore, just as the linked article ignores, the fact that no archaologist on the planet believes this to be what the article is saying it could be?
You can't say for sure, lol? What are your credentials other than you clicked on some far fetched click bait. Perhaps you are Indiana Jones?
Where are the entrances to your great Pakistan temple of the sphinx in between those imagined great columns?
Do you know what this word means: "pareidolia"? Look it up and you will learn somwething new whiuch you did not learn from the article that totally ignores archaology and makes its own assumptions based on what that word means.
All natural. If nature can make hexagons it can sure make a lump of rock that vaugely resembles a sphinx.

There might be something to it.
Some of the photos show unnatural symmetry, and resembles something that could be carved out of the rock.
Most of the temples in that area of the world are carved into or away from an already existing rock formation.
One thing that sort of gives me doubt, is the photos only show it from one angle. I wonder what it looks like from the other side.

Did you know "pareidolia" isn't actually a thing? It doesn't exist. Really. Look it up.
Just trying to introduce interesting stuff to this site instead of the crappy political jargon.
Stop criticizing and embrace a non-political thread.
The tendency to interpret a vague stimulus as something known to the observer, such as interpreting marks on Mars as canals, seeing shapes in clouds, or hearing hidden messages in music.
