Cydonia, Mars: Remenants of a civilization?

So Glad

I've seen & read a lot of stuff about this. Basically, there's a plethora of what seems to be intelligently designed structures in the area known as Cydonia on Mars. This is the site where the well-known "Face Of Mars" is that has got everyone talking, but there's far more to be seen on Cydonia. There are, what seems to be, pyramidal shapes, and fortress-looking buildings that all seem to relate to each other mathematically.

If anyone has read the books of Graham Hancock & Zacharia Sitchin (among others) you'd probably be aware of all this stuff. They've produced lots of evidence to support this. They both also inform us that the point of lattitude
& longitude on the pyramids at Cydonia Mars & Giza on Earth, are Identical, which is amazing. Since there's a lot of evidence coming to light indicating that Mars had, and has to this day, water, could this be probable? Let me get you some links to show you what I'm talking about.

Pictures of the so-called "structures".

More about the pyramids on mars and their geometry.

Also, if you go to YouTube and type in some keywords you'll come up with some videos. So, anyone have any interesting things they want to bring up about this? I find it quite interesting.

they look like geological formations, I don't believe there has ever been life on mars

It would be amazing if true. But I highly doubt it. If Mars did ever harbor life I don't think it would have evolved beyond micro-organisms... but what do I know.
The thoughts of advanced civilization somewhere away from Earth is very exciting but if it was within our Solar System I think NASA would have seen some conclusive evidence of it. They said themselves that the face was just a trick of light that didn't show up in pictures taken an hour later.

I think those authors are making pyramids out of mars-hills! Baddum-Bump-Tsst!!!

Longitude describes the location of a place east or west of the prime meridian in angular measurements. See - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitude

Since the prime meridian is an arbitrary location defined by Man how can the longitude of the Pyramid on Mars match the longitude of the Pyramid at Giza?? Doesn't make sense unless you specifically place the Prime Meridian on Mars to make it so.

As already cleared up on the mirror-thread posted to the CT forum, they don't match at all - the latitudes are also different.

There is, however, a "relationship" between them...http://www.virtuallystrange.net/ufo/.../m11-013.shtml

Exactly, we dont rely on antiquated images for observation anymore

As part of the Mars Exploration Program the Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Express was launched. To date the mgs camera has allowed for the transmitting of more than 240,000 images back to earth. For more on MGS see: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mgs/

The Mars Orbital Express was tasked with to give two examples:
- Image the Entire Surface at high resolution (10 metres/pixel) and selected areas at super resolution (2 metres/ pixel)
-Determine the structure of the subsurface to a few kilometres



Such complex looking landforms in the Cydonia Region are thought to be the result of landslides and erosion of the ancient Martian crust
