Recently a congressman made headlines and subjected himself to media ridicule when he brought up the possibility that advanced civilizations had once lived on Mars.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., asked a panel of space science experts testifying before the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology on Tuesday if it's possible there was an advanced civilization on Mars in the past.

Speculation about possibility of intelligent life on Mars is nothing new, of course, though the notion was dismissed by NASA after the Viking mission. Not everyone who worked on the project agreed with the official conclusion, however. Starting with those early orbital images of anomalous features in the Cydonia region, a growing number of scientists around the world have been challenging the idea that Mars is a barren, lifeless desert, asserting instead that there was once a thriving civilization on Mars that left behind giant structures that have long since fallen into ruin. This post will attempt to make that argument featuring a number of the clearest examples of anomalies yet photographed by NASA on Mars and elsewhere in our solar system.
First things first, let's examine the definitions of pareidolia and pattern recognition according to Wikipedia.
Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to an image by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists. Examples of these would be seeing shapes in the clouds,or the face of Jesus in a tortilla chip.
Pattern recognition (in psychology as opposed to computer science) describes a cognitive process that matches information from a stimulus with information retrieved from memory.
Let us begin with an anomaly imaged on the surface that is NOT an example of pareidolia:

Another view of the same object:
https://i.imgur.com/FBUvZ5Q.jpg
Three lines of equal length forming a pattern I'm sure you all recognize, an equilateral triangle etched into the surface of a rock, the base of which is in parallel alignment with the ground. There can be no argument for pareidolia against a simple geometrical figure, a thing either has the shape of a circle, square, triangle, cube or sphere etc. or it doesn't. The question then becomes, how did it get there? The In order to fit in to the current model according to NASA, the rock would have had to have been formed with the triangle already there, any natural process that could result in such a symbol etched into stone would require a much more dynamic collection of forces, having these forces come together to form even a simple geometrical symbol by wearing away the surface of a stone in such a specific way is so far outside the realm of probability that there can only remain one simple conclusion, namely, some intelligence put it there.
Game over, in other words. There was intelligent life on Mars, and may be there still. And yet, the existence of artifacts and ruins on Mars does not necessarily mean that the beings who created them were aliens. The simplest, most probable explanation is that they were us, humans. When you consider the rapid growth of technology that enabled us to go from heavier than air powered flight to landing on the moon within a single lifespan, the idea that human culture had once colonized our solar system before being wiped out by natural disaster (or war) seems quite plausible. In light of the evidence, this scenario is perhaps the most comforting to consider, without triggering the fear of hostile alien invaders from Mars that has been a part of western culture for over a century.

Now that we are clear on the difference between pareidolia and pattern recognition, let's begin with some other examples of anomalies containing simple geometric features in a way that would be very difficult to explain as a result of natural processes.
90 degree right angles cut into stone blocks that form vertices. Many of these seen in the rover photos, just a few sampled here.

Letters, numbers, symbols. This is where things get interesting. I don't care to speculate about how these symbols match some western cultures on earth but it's impossible to think about without imagining all sorts of science fiction tropes like time travel. At this point, however, no theory can be dismissed as ridiculous, every possibility should be open for debate, at least until the authorities step in and tell us what to think again. One thing's for sure, there are some fans of ZZ Top on the red planet. Can't say I'm surprised about that.

Conclusions:
There once existed a thriving technological civilization on Mars, sometime when the planet had oceans, a very long time ago.
Mars currently has water, vegetation, wildlife, and people. Not human beings like us, but people nonetheless.
It's impossible for NASA to not know this. There is good reason to think that they are using image processing software to paint over the best artifacts. Whatever happened to Mars apparently created a massive, possibly planet wide debris field, artifacts are plentiful and difficult to conceal.
So the American government lies to the people of the world again, this time about the most important discovery in recorded human history, knowledge that will turn everything we took for granted as the truth about ourselves and render it the quaint backwards notions of a primitive, developing culture. I can't blame them for keeping such a powerful secret, how many of us are truly ready to confront the truth of our existence on a heretofore unimaginably cosmic scale? There exist similar anomalies elsewhere NASA has looked in the solar system, including Luna (Earth's Moon), Venus, Pluto, Phobos, Eros and Comet 67-p. We may not the big kids on this block, and almost certainly aren't the most developed species in our local neighbourhood. We aren't even the smartest species on our own planet. Cetaceans have highly developed brains that dwarf ours in size and capacity, and they have no technology at all, yet their languages are much more sophisticated than what currently passes for language among humans. We need to get over our collective sense of the human race's self importance.
Let's say that there is definitely a race of tiny humanoids living on Mars. How is the arrival of their neighbors from the third planet going to affect them? What's the most likely thing to happen, given that our civilization currently is a plutocracy ruled by a feudal cabal of ruthless psychopaths? Will they be given any say at all with what happens to them? If our leaders view the people of our planet with a range of feelings from indifference to contempt, how will they feel about a race of Lilliputians?

>that is NOT an example of pareidolia
Yes it is, in fact everything here is until you can show me a good picture of it.
The history of Mars is intertwined with the history of Earth. Has to be. The meaning of Cairo can't be just coincidence. I'm not up to speed with the hidden history side of this story, but I've seen and heard enough. Not that I don't have my own opinion on these matters. Some expertly qualified professionals have opined that the cataclysm that ripped away Mars's oceans (and reduced the fifth planet to what is now the asteroid belt) happened 65 million years ago, when the dinosaurs were extinguished on Earth. I may be just a self educated layman, but judging from the condition of the artifacts uncovered, this seems like too long an estimate. Ten thousand years or so seems more probable, considering that many of these objects are lying in the open and are still recognizable. Assuming there hasn't been several civilizations that have risen and fallen in the meantime, which is starting to look likely.
The world as we know it is on the cusp of disappearing forever, and it's about time, we have a much needed, better one to create, for the sake of all, not just humankind. It's time to put on our grownup pants and start dealing with the mess we've made.
This collection was gathered mostly from Facebook groups on the subject as well as online. I have had a few issues with getting the entirety of the collection onto Imgur to share, the program crashes frequently during large uploads and is very difficult to sort and organize. New photos will be added to this folder as I get them.
Is that you, MoonMoon?
I'm not opposed to the idea that Mars could have once harboured life, but I do have one question.
It's been billions of years since the core cooled and the magnetic field collapsed.
How could ANY monuments built by an intelligent race survive such harsh conditions for that amount of time?
>>19483551
>The meaning of Cairo can't be just coincidence.
They named a city after a god of war, it's not that big a coincidence. Even the Arabic name is "the Conqueror".
I'm not particularly interested in having a debate about the meaning of these images, but encouraging debate and raising awareness is why I'm doing this. I'm sure many of you will have an extremely negative reaction to the idea presented here, by all means feel free to analytically slice me to pieces. I'm confident that most people are able to ascertain the truth when they see it with their own eyes. You would have a better chance convincing me that the great pyramid of Giza was a natural formation than some of the objects in these photos.

>>19483571
It's only been around 75,000 years. The estimates are based on the assumption that the core cooled for natural causes, which happened over a great span of time, as they would on Earth. While in reality, the loss of the planet's atmosphere happened quickly, was caused by man, and the core's cooling was thus dramatically quickened.
Wasn't there something about isotopes on Mars that could only have been created through nuclear explosions?
Problem imo is if an advanced civilisation were on Mars, even millions of years would've let traces on the surface. We don't see any patterns on the suface, just random rocks that look like objects.
Those objects would've been for long desintegrated but big structures, cities and roads...

Wind erosion, m8. It's all buried in sand. And there are more prominent ruins but obviously, you won't get to see the best parts. All the public landers have been dropped in places where there used to be sea or lakes or deserts, mountains, far away from the major cities.
I was there, I remember the world we use to call Maakaa. Then Shiva came with the lightning power of 1,000,000 suns. The scar is still evident today. Most of the people on Maakaa looked like what you would imagine them to look like when you read the Hobbit story. The truth is not fiction, there really was a surface world on Mars, they still exist but after the Spanish wiped out most of the North American Continent to find Gold, only a handful remain. In Atlanta Georgia there is a underground entrance at what you now call Stone Mountain.

>NOT an example of pareidolia
hey marsfags, remember that the surface gravity there is only 37% of what it is here. i have a hard time buying that these pictures of people / statues make any sense, cause we would look way different if we evolved under those conditions. also, martians colonizing earth would seem really difficult, like if we tried to walk around on a planet with 3 times our gravity, imagine all the health problems of long term exposure. i dont think this, but it would make more sense to me to say that humanity came from venus, dropped a colony here in africa, then another on mars. some of those pics are really cool though
