Whats So Unique About Cydonia?
By “R. Daniel Woolman” Ph.D, in an epic-length post on the “In Search Of” mailing list. What is so unique about Cydonia? Geologically it is a mixture of fractured, desert plains containing numerous mesas (flat-topped eroded prominences) with varied craters typical of natural landforms throughout the solar system. But at latitude 41 degrees North, longitude 9 West lie a collection of features which some observers believe are anything but natural. Research conducted by a small group of scientists in America since 1979 has suggested a most exciting possibility – the remains of artificially designed structures. Mankind’s last wholly successful voyage to Mars was NASA’s robotic Viking mission in 1976. Twin orbiters and landers investigated the geology, chemistry, meteorology and possible biology of the Red planet. Whilst soil chemistry tests were ambiguous, more than 50,000 digital images of Martian geomorphology were returned from orbit. Most of the planet has now been mapped to a resoluti
