Mars Anomaly Looks Like A Square Structure Or Foundation Of Some Kind

I was checking out a couple of forums that I follow on reddit, when I saw this picture. It certainly can be just rocks, but I'm still fascinated when I see natural forming geometric shapes on the Moon, or in this case...Mars.

Here on Earth, we have many interesting rock formations. Here's just a few:

Giant's Causeway in northeast coast of Northern Ireland:


Zennor Hill Rock Formations, near to Zennor, Cornwall, Great Britain:


The Delicate Arch in Arches National Park in Utah:


This picture on Mars shows what appears to be a outline of a square. On one corner, we see a formation of rocks, but the rest of the "square" shape seems to be buried under soil. Sure looks like the remnants of an ancient, square foundation or wall, but the reasonable side of me is fairly convinced it's a natural formation. Cool find though!

The rest of the "square" doesn't seem to be very square.

That image has been a favorite on ATS for years.

Very interesting looking.
Looks like 2 corners.
I’m on my iPad or I’d do it, but maybe someone can do an angle check to see if they are both true 90 degrees.

Dang nabbit, thought this was a recent find. Sorry if some of you have seen this in the past. I agree with you about the rest of this formation not looking very square, but those two distinct corners sure make it look interesting IMO.

Here's an image with a different POV and lighting.


From this thread:
www.abovetopsecret.com...


Those aren't walls, they are actually depressions. I think. It's one of those things where your brain jumps between "It's a hill. No, it's a crater." I think Armap has some higher res images.

The evidence for structures on Mars is pretty danged good, even without the sillier entries. The evidence for life on Mars is pretty danged good, despite silliness.

Although this find is old, in actuality and as discussed on this site, this instance would be categorized as ruins if the observer were told this was on Earth.

Too bad politics and dogma gets in the way of discovery too often, but being careful is a good thing.

Brandenberg's findings re: artificial nuclear residue (or ancient nuclear war) on Mars have yet to be refuted, satisfactorily, despite the evident laugh factor for something we "know" is ridiculous. His ideas on JPL having funding reasons for poo-pooing evidence for life on Mars may be true, or it may be a deeper "conspiracy theory" or it may be expectation bias.

I'm open to being wrong about all of it, but I'm pretty happy with my own confirmation bias.

There is weird, possibly unsettling history on Mars... some original "Planet of the Apes" stuff ... repeating,forgotten history type of weird... imo.

Are there any archaeologists on the site?

I'm asking because, if this was a picture of western Syria or something and you were on the search for ruins or artifacts of an ancient civilization or city, what would you be looking for? What markers or correlations would you be looking for that would show it as a possibility for further investigation?

Leaving out for a minute that it's on Mars as that brings in all kinds of confirmation bias and other things before even looking at the evidence. If this was the Sahara Desert, what would make you say, let's send in some people to look further or Nah this is probably nothing?

Thanks for the old thread link...I'll definitely be reading it.

Here's another view. Weird, huh?

The subject is in the lower left corner of the full image.

We have all be Phaged.

Nice thread, good presentation.

It’s a rock and some dirt.

a reply to: Phage

All that picture proves is that there are dinosaurs on Mars.
Lower left corner - clearly a half buried brontosaurus
Lol jk.

Here's something similar on the lunar surface (lroc.sese.asu.edu...)



To me it looks like a stone stairwell with a balcony above

No, I'm weird, because I quickly thought I saw a deformed Mr. Bill head in this picture. I keep forgetting IPA beer has more alcohol, than the "regular" beers, LOL.

Martians were terrible builders.

a reply to: shawmanfromny

Woah, did the Nazis make it to Mars?

a reply to: EmmanuelGoldstein

And now they have come back and landed on the White House lawn.

I think there are more interesting surface features than that, but it's nice that you're looking.

Cool another thread about a pile of rocks.

a reply to: norhoc

Dude, if you don't think rocks from ANOTHER planet are cool, I feel bad for you. Earth's society has jaded your personality.

a reply to: Archivalist


I am not saying that, genius, I am pointing out that it is rocks, now the foundation to a building as the OP thinks
