December 9, 2006: Young man of the mountain
Spluch finds and translates this item from the Chinese Xinhua: "This rock formation which resembles a human face (when viewed from the side) can be found at Shiquan town in Shanxi province, China. It was formed after the construction of the mountain road was completed. This creation is purely accidental." Now, this entry is less interesting to those of you who never saw or never heard of New Hampshire's rock formation which became its unofficial symbol, before it came crashing down in 2003: The Old Man of the Mountains. And as a long-time skeptic I know that the faces are simply our minds making sense of patterns. This is what we do. But I can't resist thinking, well, the Old Man can't be held back; knock him down in one part of the earth and his younger version pops out in another place. |
