What is Apophenia? Seeing Faces In Rocks

How many faces can you see in these natural rock formations and what is apophenia?

There is a lot to this. The reason we have Pareidolia is because we evolved with it. Ancient people knew how to look at stone, to make their precise tools and survive. The created an incredible multi faceted style of art that takes a few weeks of studying in order to see it. Once we recognize the styles, you can see it all over America, and in some of the most ancient cities. The carvings are light and faint, however, the motifs repeat, over and over. The same characters, the same patterns. Portable rock art is a growing movement especially here on YouTube. Check it out!

Some of, but not all, of the ROCKS are petrified remains... MUDFOSSILS! There were giants on the earth in 'those days' 🤯

I've always referred to that as pareidolia....maybe they mean something very similar.

Actually they should invent a word meaning sort of mental problem being stubborn NOT to see faces in rocks, these seconds in this video clearly are faces carved on purpose on mountains in ancient time 2:51, 2:53, 2:55, 2:57, 0:37, 1:49, 2:06 ( actually they are 2 faces ), . Not only this, also these huge faces carved on mountains are signs that in very ancient times there were advanced civilizations able to carve thse things on huge mountains!!

Is that why they call a side of a rock, the face, they have faces so now someone had to label those people to make them look away... Every rock has a face, get over it !

That's an impressive collection of face and figure rock formation postcards:) They must have been very famous tourist   attractions. Is Apophenia  a current popular  theme among the current postcards?

Ancient man embellished natural features in rocks to create faces. Its knownas portable rock art but also includes the countless cliff face carvings in North America. Your information is outdated and invalid. This is no longer an accepted excuse for portable rock art. American projectile points Woodland period and older also have human faces worked into the knapping. The artistic style beyond just the faces are an exact match from Northern Europe and North America and this exact artform does not exist on other continents. The Other Artifacts @Facebook
