     The first obvious connection is the existence of pyramids both on the Giza Plateau, and on Cydonia.  I promise this will be the last page of numbers.

     L.C. Stecchini, a well-known world-class historian formerly at the University of Rome became a specialist in ancient measurements and standards.  In 1971, in an appendix to Peter Tompkin's highly successful compilation of Material on the Great Pyramid of Giza wrote:  

     "In order to describe Africa down to the equator, the Ancient Egyptians used a system of right triangles in which one side was one of the three axes of Egypt, and the other perpendicular to it.  The hypotenuse usually indicated the course of a segment of the east coast of Africa.  The most important of these triangles was one obtained counting from Behdet 19 degrees 30 minutes (19.5) south along the central axis of Egypt and then 19 degrees 30 minutes (19.5) to the east."  The now familiar, 19.5 degrees which is also expressed in the Monuments of Mars.

     The 19th century editor of the London Observer, John Taylor discovered that if he divided the perimeter of the base of the Great Pyramid, by twice it's height, he got 3.14, or pi.  Pi appears 10 times in the D & M Pyramid on Mars.  

     In 1988 in an article in Discussions in Egyptology, the British Mathematician John Legon published intriguing data on the positioning of the Giza Monuments showing that, "the size, and relative positions of the 3 pyramids were determined by a single unifying theme."  He drew a rectangle around the three pyramids.  This rectangle's dimensions are 1000 x Ö2 by 1,000 x Ö3.  The diagonal measurement is 1000 x Ö5.  These numbers also appear redundantly in the D & M Pyramid on Mars and the entire Cydonia Complex, as previously discussed.

     Here you can see the layout of the Pyramids and the Sphinx are organized using the Golden Section Spiral, which is also expressed in the D & M Pyramid on Mars.  

According to Erol Torun, the placement of the Pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza is based on the Fibonacci curve.  The positioning of the Sphinx in relation to these rectangles turns out to be precisely according to the critical e/pi ratio, A/B = e/pi = 0.865.  This geometry as I have shown, is also expressed in the Monuments of Mars.

     Also expressed in the Great Pyramid is the Viseca Piscis, which is also found in the mathematical formulas expressed in the Monuments of Mars.  The angle of the slope is 52 degrees, an angle expressed in the Viseca Piscis.  

     So we have the same sort of tetrahedral geometry expressed in both locations, Giza, Egypt, and Cydonia, Mars.  A mathematical connection.  But there are those who will say that number crunching can bring about any results, so the researchers looked for more cultural connections.    

     Cairo, the city near the Giza complex, got its name in the 10th century from invading Arabs who decided to call it El-Kahira, from the Arabic El-Kahir, meaning, "Mars."  

     The five-sided figure of the D&M Pyramid has similar proportions of another ancient figure.  The Egyptian Hieroglyph meaning star, which has the same, five pointed proportions.  In inscriptions in certain tombs in Upper Egypt, Mars is also referred to as the "Eastern Star."  The Sphinx's gaze points due East. 

       Now, these are interesting coincidences at best, but the researchers needed more data to prove a connection, so they dug deeper.  Is there a stronger and provable connection specifically between The Face on Mars, and the Sphinx of the Giza Plateau?  They then peered into the etymology of the Sphinx.

      The planet Mars and the Sphinx were both seen as manifestations of Horus, the divine son of the Star Gods Isis, and Osiris.  The name of the Sphinx was "Horakhti", or "Horus of the Horizon."  The eminent Egyptologist Sir E. A. Wallis Budge pointed out that the name "Horus" conveys the meaning of  "face."  So basically Horakhti means "Face of the Horizon."  

     The planet Mars was also referred to as Horakhti.  Mars was also sometimes known as "Hor Dshr" which literally means, "Horus the Red."  The Sphinx, for much of it's history was painted red, like the red of the planet Mars.  

     Also, Hoagland discovered that the tangent of the Face's Cydonia latitude, is precisely equal to the cosine of the Sphinx's latitude at Giza.  All interesting, but hardly conclusive.  

     So the researchers wanted to know if stronger connections could be found with this image of a fusion between feline and hominid, cat and man.  What visual formations do the Sphinx and the Face on Mars, share in common?  The first one is obvious.

     The headdress of the Face is eerily reminiscent of headdresses worn by Egyptian Pharaohs, which also adorns the Great Sphinx of Giza. 

    But again, that was not enough.  So what the researchers did was look more closely a contrast-enhanced image of The Face.  

They took the left half and folded a mirror image of it over, 

and it looked like a primitive hominid, which might have something to do with how old they think the Face is, circa half a million years.  Going back to the original, 

they then took the left half and folded a mirror image of it over, and it looked like a cat.  

      So they realized that what they were looking at, was another expression of the of the feline and hominid fusion complete with Egyptian style headdress, right next to what appeared to be pyramids containing the same kinds of geometric relationships, on another planet.
