Some pics here.

I'm not a geologist, but if those weird patterns are only ever formed on earth my microbes, then that seems like a very compelling idea by this author.

Ok, lemme tell you all how it went down


There WAS life in Mars. It eventually became intelligent life too. But they realized their planet was dying, so they peaced out.


Guess what... They visited earth too, and interacted with humans. They even helped our species get by in the early days, but peaced the fuck out of here too*
They will be back, eventually. Once humans reach a certain point of maturity**

*^{they peaced the fuck out for ethical concerns, ya dig? they realized it wasn't cool to keep pets. Word.}

**^{Once humans stop killing each other like a bunch of dickbags, and figure out this space travel shit, we will have proven ourselves worthy as a species to play with other intelligent beings. Word.}

that pic always cracks me up

I have never seen it, but I am chuckling politely.

There are eroded pyramids, shapes, faces, structures, all kinds of interesting sediment/erosion, etc. on the surface of Mars indicating ancient civilizations.

Of course nobody is willing to go on the record and say that because of the major religious wars that would be started as a consequence. Not to mention special interest groups, world governments, etc. that do not wish for anyone to draw those conclusions on their own.

The Vatican vaults supposedly have most of the compelling evidence of Alien life forms secured from public view (Which is why nobody gets access to the Vatican "archives" or "vaults"), including art, relics, artifacts, etc. portraying extra-terrestrial influences/beings. The idea is that the religion says no extra-terrestrial beings exist so any and all evidence was rounded up by the church, secured from the public, yet remains and is passed down for generations within their archives for continued study relating to our origins.

Here is a formation that is clearly a hominid face that was leaked into the media (someone scouring the surface of Mars as taking fun amateur photos got it I guess). NASA discredited it as a natural formation that can't be replicated and was just an effect generated by lighting, not due to any fallen ancient statues or anything.





I think it is a statue of an Ancient Martian civilization, but whatev. I mean is it really that much of a stretch to believe that is exactly what this is?


by the way, is the surrounding headdress around the face on the Martian surface that far off from




I think not

An alternative theory is that we actually ARE the Martians but we just don't know it because there may have been a cataclysmic event of some kind that erased our true origins, but much like a lizard that floated on the coconut across the ocean, we actually developed somewhere else but ended up over here now, so humans are the actual martians and we once inhabited Mars before it was no longer inhabitable.

The 'face' was captured by Viking 1, so uh, yeah, not amateur.

1/7/2015 10:34:37 PM

and then where he ran was pope

1/7/2015 10:54:33 PM

Did someone say face?

1/7/2015 10:58:36 PM

They sent a Viking to Mars to find some head.


no
I don't believe Viking I captured the photo

I believe that an amateur did, either a control operator at NASA or someone somewhere, and the subsequent attention was spurred by NASA to debunk the conspiracy theorists.

They would have never let a photo out like that without supplemental explanation if it hadn't been for the actions of some amateur somewhere imho

either way, hi res low res or whatever res, looks artificial in origin to me

that's precision cut outline in a cartouche shape imho whether the details remain after thousands of years or not

1/7/2015 11:09:09 PM

one more thought on this since I am feeling very artistic and feel the need to make my case


To me this surface structure on Mars is akin to finding a penny at the bottom of the ocean without ever having seen one before....ten thousand years from now

you have no idea what was happening ten thousand years ago but you know that it is peculiar that something could be lifted from the bottom of the ocean that appears discrete and somehow meaningful

The junk you lifted is mysteriously in the shape of a perfect circle and almost looks like it meant something once. Could be coincidence and just an old shell or someone's discarded garbage, but it seems artificial at the same time somehow....

so this is a joke thread right?

i can't tell if every post in this thread is sarcasm or not.

Grandfather mountain and the Old Man in the mountain are clear proof that giants used to walk the earth

1/7/2015 11:45:55 PM

Agreed. Giants once walked the earth.

Robin Williams was a Giant

1/7/2015 11:49:07 PM

proof there may have once been intelligent life there

1/7/2015 11:50:25 PM

Nope.

^ Those sand patterns are natural formations due to geostrophic winds and the sedimentary composition of the planet's surface.


It's just a natural formation so we can stop photographing now and cease the search for intelligent life.

I don't think we should be surprised to find out that there was indeed life on Mars. I think what we ought to be looking at is if there was life, and if Mars was an active planet at one time, what killed it?

My guess? Alien government experiments on inducing earthquakes stopped Mars' core from rotating, and a crack team of alien badasses led by Alien Eckhart couldn't get it spinning again.
