On the face of an ancient Olmec/Maya two-tiered pyramid at Cerros Mexico (50 B.C.), two fascinating sculptural masks are present. The top two human faced masks represent the planet Venus as the morning star on the east and the evening star on the west. The lower masks are the Jaguar Sun God representing the rising sun on the east and the setting sun on the west. These two celestial masks have a striking resemblance to a bifurcated mask on Mars known as "The Face" (figure 3&4).

Note; drawings of both Cerros masks are from "A Forest of Kings", by Linda Schele & David Freidel 1990, p.113.
We find it VERY interesting that Linda Schele was invited to speak at NASA in 1995 at a seminar entitled; "The Universe: Now and Beyond". Considering her knowledge of these "Face-like" masks at Cerros, what did NASA discover, and how long have they known it?
