For years, a research group conducting examinations on the surface of Mars claims to have found traces of life on the Red Planet. Comparing some structures photographed by NASA to human-made artifacts, the team concluded that there may have been a civilization similar to humans on Mars. Here are the structures shedding light on the potential life on the Red Planet… The surface of Mars appears as an empty, red barren landscape. But upon closer inspection, the situation could be very different. George J. Haas, the founder and leading researcher of the Mars research group known as the Cydonia Institute, analyzed photographs of dozens of structures on the Mars surface that he was sure are created by humans in his new book “The Great Architects of Mars”. These include pyramids, a keyhole-shaped formation, and even a structure resembling a parrot. According to the author, these formations could be remnants of once magnificent cities, soaring pyramids, and more. Geometry, as Haas claims, is an indicator of civilization. The renowned author has been meticulously examining NASA’s Mars images for over 30 years, searching for geometrical features and patterns that cannot be explained by nature. Here are some structures documented by NASA that are the focus of Haas’ book… 1- KEYHOLE FORMATION The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) of NASA captured a photograph of a strange formation on the surface of Libya Montes, a high-altitude region of Mars, in 2011. The elevated structure consisted of two main parts: a wedge-shaped formation and an attached circular dome. Together, they resembled a massive exclamation mark. The “perfect geometry” of this strange land shape caught Haas’ attention in 2013. Three years later, Haas and some colleagues published the formal analysis of the keyhole in the Space Exploration Journal, concluding that its geometry and symmetry could have been cleverly constructed. Haas also pointed out the resemblance of the keyhole to the monuments built by Middle Eastern and Japanese cultures like the Kofun Tomb in Japan. 2- PARROT GEOGLYPH Independent researcher Wilmer Faust noticed a strange shape in the image of a large impact crater known as Argyre Basin in 2002. Showing the image to his colleagues in the Cydonia Institute, Haas emphasized features that looked like an eye and beak on a head in the region’s topography, a mound-shaped body, a leg with a foot, and an elongated fuzzy wing. Haas said, “I immediately noticed the parrot formation after seeing the image.” Since then, this unusual structure has been known as the “parrot geoglyph” or “Parrotopia.” 3- SAGAN PYRAMIDS NASA’s Mariner 9 spacecraft captured the image of unusual formations in the Elysium region, the planet’s second-largest volcanic region, while gathering information about Mars’ atmosphere and mapping the planet’s surface in 1972. This triangle stood out among triangular pyramids, steep-sided volcanic cones, and impact craters. With an average height of over 3,200 feet and a width of about 10,000 feet, they overshadow even the largest pyramids on Earth. These pyramids caught the attention of the famous astronomer Carl Sagan, who proposed that they might have been formed by strong winds and harsh sands creating large rock and soil piles in pyramid shapes. Haas considers the possibility that these pyramids might have been built by intelligent beings, not dismissing Sagan’s explanation. 4- MARS ATLANTIS COMPLEX Located in the southern hemisphere of Mars, the Atlantis Chaos region is characterized by deep valleys and steep slopes. According to the European Space Agency (ESA), scientists believe that this terrain was formed as a result of the slow erosion of a once continuous solid plateau. However, independent researcher Javed Raza suggested that the image appeared as part of an “enormous city-like complex.” Raza claimed that the broken walls and towers placed at equal intervals resembled typical remnants seen in urbanized areas on Earth. 5- STAR STRUCTURE While examining ESA images of the Nepenthes Mensae region of Mars, a rugged, flat-topped plateau in the eastern hemisphere, Haas came across a peculiar-shaped formation. The elevated landmass resembled an irregular star shape with “five arms extending like a giant sea star.” The author believes that this star shape bears a striking resemblance to a star castle frequently seen in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries and during the colonization and Civil War period in America.
