This image, taken by NASA's Viking 1 orbiter and released on 25 July 1976, captured the public's attention because of a feature that looks very much like a human face. Further observations confirmed that this is in fact just a hill in Mars' Cydonia region. The human brain is wired to identify faces, even when they aren't there. (Source: NASA/JPL)

According to several AI calculations, the base of this Square structure is estimated to measure 235 meters on each side (approximately 770 feet). Interestingly, the width of the Great Pyramid in Egypt is nearly identical, at about 230 meters.
