    CYDONIA PYRAMID COMPLEX THE SCARED PLANET Martian Motifs by Luis B. Vega [email protected] www.PostScripts.org ‘…and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason, GOD will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe The Lie, in order that judgment will come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness..’ -2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 The purpose of this study is to depict the various coordinates, approximate angles and measurements of the Cydonia pyramid complex anomaly on Mars. The depiction will be generated using Google Earth’s Mars coordinates, GPS calculations and figures. The illustration will show the entirety of the ‘Red Planet’, Mars from a frontal view that has the Valles Marineris featured very prominently. Although the rendition of the imagery is very low resolution, there is a general sense of where the Cydonia pyramid complex is situated on the planet. Although many in the past have composed a mathematical and Sacred Geometry association with the Cydonia ‘Pyramids’, this study will keep it simple and just touch on some elementary correlations. The study will only seek to highlight what is already known about the Cydonia, Mars pyramid anomaly but introduced new inferences and possible Biblical implications as to the Last Days coming deception. This study will delineate the Red Planet based on the concepts of Sacred Geometry. Depicted are 2 intersecting triangles that span the circle of the planet. These 2 triangles produce a hexagram centered on the Equator that is marked by Google and NASA.

Crommelin and Firsoff craters evidenced the occurrences of flow structures and spring deposits that endorse the presence of fluids circulation in the Late Noachian. All the morphologies in these two proto-basins occur within the Equatorial Layered Deposits (ELDs). 1. Introduction Martian layered spring deposits are of considerable interest for their supposed relationship with water and high potential of microbial signatures preservation. Their supposed fluid-related origin [1] makes the Equatorial Layered Deposits attractive targets for future missions with astrobiological purposes. In this study we report the occurrence of mounds fields and flow structures in Firsoff and Crommelin craters and summarize the result of a detailed study of the remote-sensing data sets available in this region.

  • Distribution, Morphology, and Morphometry of Circular Mounds in the Elongated Basin of Northern Terra Sirenum, Mars Ryodo Hemmi and Hideaki Miyamoto*
    Hemmi and Miyamoto Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (2017) 4:26 Progress in Earth and DOI 10.1186/s40645-017-0141-x Planetary Science RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Distribution, morphology, and morphometry of circular mounds in the elongated basin of northern Terra Sirenum, Mars Ryodo Hemmi and Hideaki Miyamoto* Abstract An elongated, flat-floored basin, located in the northern part of Terra Sirenum on Mars, holds numerous enigmatic mounds (100 m wide) on the surface of its floor. We investigated their geological context, spatial distribution, morphological characteristics, and morphometric parameters by analyzing a variety of current remote sensing data sets of Mars. Over 700 mounds are identified; mapping of the mounds shows the spatial density of about 21 per 100 km2 and appearances of several clusters, coalescence, and/or alignment. Most of the mounds have smoother surface textures in contrast to the rugged surrounding terrain. Some of the mounds display depressions on their summits, meter-sized boulders on their flanks, and distinct lobate features. We also perform high-resolution topographic analysis on 50 isolated mounds, which reveals that their heights range from 6 to 43 m with a mean of 18 m and average flank slopes of most mounds are below 10°. These characteristics are consistent with the deposition and extension of mud slurries with mud breccia and gases extruded from subsurface, almost equivalent to terrestrial mud volcanism. If so, both abundance of groundwater and abrupt increase in pore fluid pressure are necessary for triggering mud eruption. Absolute crater retention ages suggest that the floor of the basin located among middle Noachian-aged highland terrains has been resurfaced during the Late Hesperian Epoch.

  • Symmetry and Geometry of the Face on Mars Revealed a New Analysis Based on the April 2001 Image Mark J
    © 2001 New Frontiers in Science (ISSN 1537-3169) newfrontiersinscience.com Symmetry and Geometry of the Face on Mars Revealed A New Analysis Based on the April 2001 Image Mark J. Carlotto, Ph. D. On April 8, 2001 Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) was able for the first time to obtain a fully illuminated high resolution image of the Face on Mars. Like previous MGS images the Face appears at first glance to be a highly eroded natural formation. However analysis of this new image shows the object to possess a very high degree of symmetry in two directions. Using repeatable geometrical constructions based on clearly resolved features the Face appears to fit a consistently expressed geometrical model based on rectangles having a long to short side ratio of 4/3, i.e., by rectangles diagonally bisected by 3-4-5 right triangles. Analysis of the new image reveals that the right (east) side of the Face is covered with sand. The depth of the sand appears to be sufficient to have covered over some of the detail on the east side and may account for its apparent lack of facial symmetry. 1. Introduction The Face on Mars is a mile long formation on the surface of Mars that resembles a humanoid face. First photographed by a Viking Orbiter spacecraft in July 1976, the Face was dismissed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory as an optical illusion -- a rock formation that happened to look like a face because of the way it was lit by the sun (JPL 1976). Several years later two engineers at the Goddard Space Flight Center (DiPietro and Molenaar 1986) found a second image of it taken at a different sun angle that also exhibited facial characteristics.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of drought on the growth and metabolism of loquat. Ninety two-year-old plants of ‘Marchetto’ loquat grafted on quince were grown in the greenhouse in 12-liter pots and three irrigation regimes were imposed starting on 11 May and lasting until 27 July, 2013. One-third of the plants was irrigated with 100% of the water consumed (well watered, WW), a second group of plants was irrigated with 66% of the water supplied to the WW plants (mild drought, MD), and a third group was irrigated with 33% of the water supplied to the WW plants (severe drought, SD). Minimum water potential levels of 2.0 MPa were recorded in SD plants at the end of May.

  • Amagmatic Hydrothermal Systems on Mars from Radiogenic Heat ✉ Lujendra Ojha 1 , Suniti Karunatillake 2, Saman Karimi 3 & Jacob Buffo4
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-21762-8 OPEN Amagmatic hydrothermal systems on Mars from radiogenic heat ✉ Lujendra Ojha 1 , Suniti Karunatillake 2, Saman Karimi 3 & Jacob Buffo4 Long-lived hydrothermal systems are prime targets for astrobiological exploration on Mars. Unlike magmatic or impact settings, radiogenic hydrothermal systems can survive for >100 million years because of the Ga half-lives of key radioactive elements (e.g., U, Th, and K), but 1234567890():,; remain unknown on Mars. Here, we use geochemistry, gravity, topography data, and numerical models to find potential radiogenic hydrothermal systems on Mars. We show that the Eridania region, which once contained a vast inland sea, possibly exceeding the combined volume of all other Martian surface water, could have readily hosted a radiogenic hydro- thermal system. Thus, radiogenic hydrothermalism in Eridania could have sustained clement conditions for life far longer than most other habitable sites on Mars. Water radiolysis by radiogenic heat could have produced H2, a key electron donor for microbial life. Furthermore, hydrothermal circulation may help explain the region’s high crustal magnetic field and gravity anomaly. 1 Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences.

Use is made of the infamous photos of Cydonia on Mars, and in particular of the site that became anecdotally known as the “face on Mars”, following the 1976 Viking photos under low resolution. It is conjectured, and to a certain extent demonstrated here, that it is possible for advanced civilizations to factor in erosion by natural processes into a large scale design so that main features be preserved even with the passage of millions of years. Alternatively viewed, even without such intent embedded in a design left for posterity, it is possible that a gigantic construction may naturally decay in such a way that even cataclysmic (massive) events may leave sufficient information intact with the passage of time, provided one changes the point of view from high resolution images to enhanced blurred renderings of the sites in question. If one takes the intentional design for erosion to be taken into account, then it is also possible to conjecture that it is not necessary for the original structure (“monument”) to be designed such that it resembles something if viewed at high resolution in the first place; in fact it is possible to treat elements in the environment as large scale “pixels”, as natural monolithic blocks, so that when viewed from a distance under slightly unfocused conditions they produce the desired effect, thus lasting for millennia.

Mars Reconnaissance OrbiterMRO Imageimage (2001)(Viking Orbiter Image – 1977) -- ‘face’ is 1.5 km across Early Mars? Recall: Evidence of water A) shows that ancient mars had a Global Equivalent Layer (GEL) 1500- 3000 feet of water on the surface. B) suggests it may have lost as much as 85% of that water to space, leaving it with (today) a GEL of 200-400 feet (or more) – stored in ice caps and subsurface reservoirs C) reveals that “The total amount of water in the atmosphere of Mars is at most a few cubic kilometers,” which would yield a global layer ~25 microns deep. RED Mars --- in the 19th Century London’s Cornhill magazine, 1873 • Mars is “a charming planet . well fitted to be the abode of life.” • “the far greater lightness of the materials they would have to deal with in constructing roads, canals, bridges, or the like, we may very reasonably conclude that the progress of such labours must be very much more rapid, and their scale very much more important, than in the case of our own earth.” Camille Flammarion (1870s-1880s) • “Since it is the surface which we see, not the planets [sic] interior, the red colour ought to be that of the Martian vegetation, since it is this species of vegetation which is produced there.” The continents of Mars, he concluded, “seem to be covered with reddish vegetation.” • “There must be something on the lands, whether it be moss or even less.” Mars has “species of vegetation which do not change [color with the seasons],” in the same way that on Earth “olive-trees and orange-trees are as green in winter as in summer.” • “ this characteristic color [red] of Mars .
