Did you look at the original pictures of Mars he was working with ? Then put those next to the ones he had enhanced and quite obviously took liberties with ? It's like looking at two sets of completely different photos . I felt he was trying to hard to make Mars fit into his thesis and it just wan't very convincing to me.

Sure we may have 40,000 years of proof of existence. The question is what was our intelligence like 17,000 years ago. Were we more ape like - did they change our DNA to where we could figure out how to make buildings instead of living in caves.

There's a huge problem with trying to "connect the dots" with such inferior imagery, and it tends to lead to way too much creative fudging to make the numbers come out to be even close to anything significant.
And the archeological record is pretty clear that human beings have been around in our current form for at least 40,000 years. So there's that.

When he firsts draws circles around the stars near the Pleiades and lays them over the current star chart. Many of them match up perfectly. The Universe has changed and obviously Cydonia has deteriorated over time but the coincidence of the match has to be high. If this star map was made 17K years ago, I have to wonder how long they were there after it was built. I am reading Lost star of myth and time by Cruttenden, it touches on all this.
