Artificial structures on Mars - For real?

Hey folks, this is just my third topic, but hopefully it will be enjoyable.

Ok, as some have spotted, Imagir in his thread titled "Artificial Megalithic structures found on MARS" has basically stated that in the Hellas Basin area are located remains of what looks to be an ancient city. Trying to prove his point he posted a few shots, but not many people were convinced (i was one of them). Later on though, i decided to open up the location on Google Mars and check it out myself. I've spent literally almost 2 hours going through that area (41.51°S 56.94°E), zooming in and out, looking for something to see wheter Imagir's thought has some truth to it. Well, as i have found it it has.

One thing that I've found out is that there are quite alot of pipes in that area. See for yourself:

its just an illusion that makes it look like something else. im sure phage will be here shortly.

Apart from that, there are some structures hidden in the rocks:

Did you know that there's also a MASSIVE ocean on the dark side of the moon with all kinds of alien lifeforms living in it and apparently mass producing cans of SPAM? Yeah I saw it on teh internet a few years ago.

Wow, you have a vivid imagination.

I don't see any structures.

Keep looking, tho. Keep scanning the Martian surface. Maybe something will turn up. There have been some pretty good ones on ATS. You might want to look through the ATS threads.

And there also seem to be some interesting objects:

Hm... So, what this all point out to? Is Imagir and myself correct? My opinion is that there were several civilizations on Mars - one which created this city, one which created the Cydonia region and one living underground. Why not when NASA is lying about almost everything and doctoring the Mars pictures with wrong colors? Not to mention they said recently that a meteorite that hit the Earth 13.000 yrs ago contains some bacteria from Mars. Hm, so why not intelligent life? Afterall, there are/were oceans on Mars some time ago...and Mars had an atmospehere...so again..why couldn't this be possible?

A simple Google search yielded some geology facts about our very own planet Earth that you might want to take a look at, especially since Mars more than likely had water on it's surface millions of years ago...

this was talked about in another thread its a natural formation.

Nearly two entire hours? Not exactly career-building stuff is it?

lol, there may be things there, but most likely it really is tricks of light. Seriously Pueblo indians on mars now.....

Looks like a drainage pipe to me!

reply to post by Cybernet

First of all, posting the images without coordinates makes it difficult to see those things in context, and the "tubes", for example, look like wind-created features, but without knowing where they are it's almost impossible to find them again.

And I wonder why any hypothetical Martian would build stairs on the ground, that image is seen from above, so a stair wouldn't look like a stair.

Unless all those "buildings" are rotated the same angle and half buried, something that I think is even less likely than the existence of real buildings on Mars.

Can someone please explain this one?

That pipe looks very interesting.
A good spot , and thanks for showing us.

nice to see the de-bunkers are thriving, lol. There is no question that their have been some geometric anomalies found on the surface of Mars, as well as many other planets and moons. I am not going to run around trying to imply aliens or anything else unnatural crated them, but until we start getting a clearer picture of what the world governments actually know, I for one am not going to rule anything out. The way Buzz Aldin describes the monolith on Mars' moon almost creates a mystique about what we really know about space, and what TPTB think we should know.

Google Mars is an incredible program my friend, but you are not seeing ancient remnants of cities or civilization. You are simply suffering from a human condition called "Pareidolia".

The person you reference "Imagir" suffers from this condition more severely than most other people. His condition of Paeidolia has been so severe that it has caused him to be banned from ATS before.

If you take a look at his previous threads under the username "Taymour", you can get an idea of how severe this condition can become.

Symptoms may include, disillusion, introversion, pompousness, and a lack of critical and analogical thinking abilities.

If symptoms persist for more than 24 hours, please log out of ATS, shut your computer down, and go enjoy reality for for at least 24 hours.

Here's something pretty cool

Im just wondering if you saw the link posted above by Jocko Flocko:
scienceray.com... Since I believe most people who visit this thread will ignore his post, I have added the link again, along with pictures:

Earth itself has "geometric anomalies" found on its surface. These are naturally formed. Not formed by TPTB or MIB. Key word: Natural. Therefore, why is it so hard for people to believe that these odd shapes found on Mars are nothing more than natural formations? Sometimes the truth is rather boring, therefore people create imagintive images in their head called Pareidolia.

Also, it doesnt help when one zooms waaay in and causes extreme distortion. Go to Google Earth, in some remote area. You will find the same "odd" shapes people are finding on Mars. Then zoom in all the way and wala some serious crazy shapes start to form!


ETA: This one is right by my house:

What actually is more intriguing to me about Mars when viewing these "structures" isn't the question of some sort of "ancient civilization" being there or not, but the fantastical geological events and upheavals in the past which must have taken place for these formations to be seen as they are today. Just as Earth, Mars has been shaped over billions of years by major volcanic, seismic and flooding events, all of which would carve out these types of rock formations.
