Tractor? is that your username? I'm still getting used to operating through this website, for I am new. Anyway, you said "I am now learning about some theories about moon the shape and stripes of mountains like Everest and Nanda Devi are odd just like a monster or a monk's face as some one had pointed out. Have you ever think or study aout these things?"
Interesting question. I should brief you with my background. I've studied sociology in college as i have always been intrigued with social phenomenon. My minor was psychology. i learned about perception there. I was always fascinated with human behavior. I am also fascinated with perception. Humans take for granted what they observe. This doesn't mean that we always misperceive what we see, but sometimes we do.
I am not familiar with the monk's face or the monster-looking mountain, specificly. But I am familiar with the (planet) Mars face. Proponents of this theory believe that the Mars face was deliberately constructed by a lost Martian civilization. It also has been pointed out that the pyramid-like structures on Mars, like the Mars face, is connected to Eqypt's pyramids. Obviously, for these theorists they believe that there's some connection between humans on Earth and what seems to be a lost civilization of intelligent life on Mars.
By the way, the legend of Atlantis - a lost continent with a highly advanced civilization - was invented by Greek philosopher Plato. The Greeks, namely the philosophers, were intrigued with their advanced civilization. What were the exact reasons why Plato invented such a story, I really don't know. But it does seem that a highly advanced civilization in Atlantis reflect the ideals of the Greeks. The characters of ancient Greek gods, were cultural projections of the Greek culture, where the incredible abilities of the gods were nothing more than the reflections of ancient Greek idealism, ideals to aspire to that only the gods could reach. Here in the modern Christian West, some have said that only God is perfect. Therefore, for Plato, Atlantis represented the ideal state of a civilized culture. Moving into the modern era, Atlantis resurfaced right about the late nineteenth century. The belief in exterrestrials wasn't in vogue until the late 1940's, and there are some that connected Atlantis with the idea of aliens visiting Earth in the ancient past. For those believers, it explains how ancient civilizations came about. The aliens are believed to be advanced and knowledgable and were the only ones that could've helped the presumbly ignorant peoples of the ancient past. There are people searching for the lost continent of Atlantis. Some have claimed they have found it. In reality, they have fallen short of what they are looking for. Atlantis has yet to be found.
When in 1976 the satellite Voyager took a picture of a pyramid-like structure, it was noticed that there was a face on top of the pyramid. NASA looked further into this. They demonstrated with another photograph that the Mars face was only a trick of light. Sightings of UFOs, who also plays tricks on human perception, tend to mystify eyewitnesses. Out of being stumped comes the need to explain the mystery. Here in the West, particularly the U.S., there have been reports of sightings of the Jesus or the Virgen Mary on a tree, or even on food lke a taco, or toasted bread. Sometimes out of patterns of lines of anomolous images, like ink blots, the human mind finds familiar patterns recognizable to one's culture. Ever look at clouds and see what appeared to be a familiar object, like a face, an animal, or a person.
We as humans tend to find meaning in our lives. We have been living in a era of uncertainty, anxiety, confusion, and fear. Many believe the end of the world is near. This can partly be blamed on the new millenium, refered to as "millenialism." These anxieties are nothing new. Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon went to Florida in search of the "Fountain of Youth," where the water had magical properties of making one young once again. He never found it.
