New Features
The "Nose"
This extraordinary double arch feature at the exact symmetrical centerline of the Face is stunning confirmation of the artificiality of the Face itself. With two "Nostril" shaped depressions and a decidedly feline structure, the obvious comparisons between the Sphinx at Giza and the Cydonian monument are reinforced 10 fold. Note the similarity in shape to a typical feline nose (Cleo's) and the Face.
The probability of such a feature appearing randomly on a "mesa" that has been identified as having Facial characteristics is virtually non-existent. There is no question that the feature is present, in the correct size, shape and orientation to be a nasal representation, and not a product of contrast distortion or image artifacts. The v-shaped central "cartilage" tapers from top to bottom and the arches are proportional to each other.
The additional weight that is added when you consider that the Artificiality Hypothesis presupposes the appearance of additional facial features as better images are obtained of the area is also compelling. The advocates of the Artificial Origin of the Face need not have specifically predicted the appearance of "feline nostrils" to strengthen the contention that the Face is intentionally designed to look like a Face or that it may have a feline appearance under certain lighting conditions. Simply advocating these possibilities previously is sufficient to qualify as a confirmed prediction and a reinforcement of the assumptions made from the previous data set.
The Goalposts
Basically "Right Between the Eyes", these two peculiar little clumps of bright material are split by the exact lateral center of the Face mesa. They are oddly identical in construction (remember, you are seeing the West Goalpost parallel to the cylinder and the East Goalpost is angling away from you) and are either an anchor (as if for a plumb line) or a centerline marker for the Face itself. The West Goalpost is a horizontal cylindrical shape with a vertical spherical node protruding from it's center. The East Goalpost appears to be the identical, but is foreshortened in this picture because of the oblique viewing angle of the orbiter. The West post also seems to be supported by a pair of legs projecting from below it at 45 degree angles, and there is a hint of similar structures in the shadowed area of the East Goalpost.
To have such an organized and balanced feature at the precise centerline of the Face is well beyond the bounds of chance. The brightness against the backdrop indicates the Goalposts are made from a different material than the surrounding area, implying that they were meant to standout from a considerable distance overhead. The overall geometric balance of the features with respect to placement, shape and albedo is an exceptional brace of the design hypothesis.
The Crest
Noted by Dr.Tom Van Flandern in his latest web analysis, the Crest appears to be a series of ceremonial markings similar to an Egyptian death mask and including previously noted features such as the "Bi-laterally crossed lines" and the "Projection".
The similarity is obvious but again the extreme noise and lack of contrast in the image make it little better than the Viking data. The marked up version below points out some of the faint details. Note especially the projection which corresponds to the cobra on Tut's mask.
Summary
Taken individually, any one of these features would be anomalous and worthy of close scrutiny. In unison, they provide a potent argument in favor of an artificial origin for the Face structure. Claims of bias and projection fall weakly aside in the wake of confirmation of previously observed features, fulfillment of predictive models, and a clear pattern of organization and design in the placement and constitution of anomalous new features. Random acts of erosion simply cannot produce angularities, perpendicularities and proportion in such an elegant and redundant manner. Fine structures such as the "Goalposts" and the "Projection" are a striking buttress to the Relational model previously put forth by Hoagland and Torun.
Given all this, Van Flandern's calculation of "Billion to one odds" in favor of artificiality seem conservative. Even without the confirmation of the teeth -- which would have rendered any debate on the issue pointless -- there is now more than enough evidence to conclude that the AOC (Artificial Origin of Cydonia) hypothesis is verified.
Given this conclusion, it is now time to venture forth with a manned mission to Cydonia.
Next, we will look at the ongoing efforts at disinformation and obstruction being perpetrated by JPL and MSSS.
