Dr. Malin's  negative with some  orthorectification and the two Viking images.

Only 3 complete images of the Face-mesa, so far. 35A72 and 70A13 belong to Viking-1976: two positives of shadows at sunset. The 3rd. (the large one, here reversed to its negative) belongs to MGS-1998. Quite different shadows at sunrise!. Therefore the Face-mesa IS NOT SYMMETRICAL (except in pedestal). Ignatius did not stress such basic fact and now quite a few authors still assume symmetry as in ordinary terrestrial sculptures.

The Face-mesa was built without symmetry to convey two different human 'faces'. Obviously it cannot be symmetric because the original positive in high contrast, as shown below, gives a thing without any resemblance to human face. The geniality of Mr. Ignatius was precisely to recognise a priori, without graphic clue, that my Art-lines (below to the right) correspond, once reversed to NEGATIVE as in above image, to a perfectly proportioned human face. View-point in South-West, ground level.

Positive at sunrise with clue to Ignatius'  insight.
