Life On Mars?
By Adam - 11 February 03
Might David Bowie have asked an intelligent question?
NASA has unintentionally provided evidence of a civilization on Mars, evidence that is much discussed by such theorists as Richard Hoagland. Analysis of the geology of the Cydonia region, where the artifacts or "unnatural-looking formations", are situated, revealed that the site was once covered by a shallow inland sea. The "city complex" seems to surround the "faces". There is evidence that the shoreline of the sea following the margin of the "city".
"The Cydonia region, where the artifacts or "unnatural-looking formations", are situated."
Computer enhanced images of the faces have revealed startling details...eyeballs, pupils and even spectacles. Closer investigation of the anomalous three-sided pyramids clearly shows detailed buttressing at the corners of the massive structures. All this attention to detail would be preposterous if these objects could be explained away by the scientists at NASA, but they cannot be! NASA is officially silent concerning the "explanation" of the Cydonia region.
Richard Grossinger, in his foreword to Hoagland's book The Monuments of Mars sheds some light on the timeliness of this discovery and it's effect on the world, "Richard Hoagland believes that fear as much as indifference keeps us from acknowledging the face, i.e., from even confronting the dilemma of whether it is natural or artificial. Something in our nature doesn't want to "face" ourselves in this way; the reflection, after all, is just as potentially damaging to the rigid priesthood of Western science as it is to the officials of Western religion. If the human faces are there on Mars, it blows just about every orthodoxy wide open...Faces on Mars are such an unlikely thing at this stage of our history and in our present crisis that its confirmation could literally crystallize us in a new way"
Mr. Grossinger's comments are not only significant with respects to his grasp of the Cydonia phenomena's effect on the human psyche, but also in regard to the implications it poses to institutions of religious thought. Not only are these views psychologically accurate, but they are prophetically accurate as well. Few people living on this planet can lay claim to a foundation of objective truth which would persevere in the face of a Martian revelation. Society thrives and flourishes on stability and routine and human nature directs us along paths of least resistance and complexity. All sciences continually strive to encapsulate and generalize that which can be known. The well traveled road of the status quo, the accepted and recognized, is difficult to abandon.
