NASA finds perfect pyramid on Mars (Video)
A perfect pyramid has been spotted on Mars peeking out from the surface in a photo taken by NASA's Curiosity rover. The small, triangular mound, eerily similar to others found on Earth, may be a capstone, or a grave marker. In either case, it's unlike any similar object found so far on the Red Planet.
In this video, posted to YouTube on June 20, the pyramid formation is clearly seen rising above the surrounding Martian surface and is estimated to be the size of a small car. The video speculates it could be some kind of marker left by an intelligent life form inhabiting (or visiting) Mars in the past.
The pyramid-shaped, rocky anomaly is nearly perfectly symmetrical on all sides, a naturally occurring geological formation which is rare on both Mars and Earth. And, it appears to have been built by assembling other rocks nearby, in a brick-like pattern, to form a nearly perfect triangle rising above the Martian landscape.
The amazing image here is enhanced only by rotating the angle of the original photograph, published by NASA on its official Curiosity rover website. Paranormal investigators have taken to poring over these public images, looking for just such anomalies as this perfectly formed pyramid shape, which appears to have been made purposely by some unknown hand in the distant Martian past.
This is clearly the best evidence yet of pyramids built on Mars, for whatever purpose, and bears greater scrutiny, even a response, from NASA, as to whether (as this video speculates) there is evidence that there is, or has been, intelligent life on Mars.

At this link NASA posts its Mars Curiosity rover pictures :
I assume that somewhere in all of those images is the pyramid featured in the article's video . I find it surprising it has gotten so little in the way of public notification ...
Here is the same video from youtube :
I am still of the view that when Mars was a dying planet, and Earth was a lush envirionment, a space ship carried a girl and boy to Earth - who became the legendary Adam and Eve, and started humanity herenotwithstanding signs that Man may have evolved from primates - that could be a natural phenomenon anywhere. That immigration simply speeded up the process by circumventing what millenia may still accomplish. There is no proof that in our solar system development of life was different between the two planets - only time differed.Think of Superman being sent to Earth when Krypton was doomed as being allegorical.
You are bringing up science fiction . This observation appears to be fact . I would expect that a major effort would be started to uncover the rest of this pyramid structure and find out the history behind this object . Perhaps , like the black monolith in the movie "2001 , a space odyssey" this will get us hairless apes all hopped up to investigate ...
BTW here is the official NASA website post for the photo :
No sirprise, really. Muslim civilization has always been ahead of its time. They've been to Mars long ago-- and of course "discovered" America long before Columbus:
---> LINK
The Egyptian pyramids were not built by Muslims to my knowledge . Muslims conquered Egypt well after the pyramids were built from what I understand . Imhotep is NOT a Muslim name ...
The ancient Egyptians worshipped the sun god ISIS , not Allah and certainly not Mohammed .
It is not a perfect pyramid (or one at all). In the first place it is considerably shorter on it's right side (in the close up pics) then it is on the left, which extends out much further. Also the NASA larger picture shows it sticking out of the side of a a hill at an angle, so there is nothing under it unless the Martians built their pyramids a lot shorter on one side and at a bizarre angle that would not place them on a level surface. It is an anomaly. A fluke. Like when a face was supposedly discovered on Mar's but it only looked like a face from one perfect angle. The rest of the time it looked like a bunch of rocks and so does this. Oh...IMHO.
Right.
And Martians were ant sized.
A question, WHY would they build it on such an unstable slope and angle?
Personally, that is the first thing any engineer would ask.
I mean, if they are this advanced race of beings capable of space flight, they would understand gravity and mass. Wouldn't they? Flat side down to keep the center of mass as low as possible with as wide a base as possible is a basic rule of engineering.
And why would they build it so small?
It's the same color and texture of the surrounding rock strewn about the site. The edges are not perfectly straight as would be an engineered pyramid.
Personally, I think it is one of those miracles of nature, it defied all odds and fractured in a shape resembling a pyramid, at least the part that can be seen above the sand. Not unusual for this to happen naturally, but very rare....
Of course ... but many millenia would have an effect on the landscape . Do we even know what the stability of the Martian land is ? Did the builders ?
According to the video it was the size of a small car . They speculated that there may be more of it buried beneath that capstone .
The pyramids of ancient Egypt are not perfectly straight either ...
I agree it is not perfect but it is pretty close . If it was a large pyramid the lack of correct position to gravity is a serious issue . But we have no idea how many millenia have passed since this structure appeared or was constructed . There could have been earthquakes causing the ground to shift . Also this may only be a small structure and not a full sized pyramid . What I would like to see is for NASA to get that rover back to the same spot and photograph if from the hidden side . If that hidden side is also a near perfect triangle of the same size as the other 2 faces the evidence would be much stronger ...
That should not be a big surprise since he is so adept at covering his ass .
I love that !!!
.
They were when they were finished. It's one of the first things that your told when you start studying the pyramids.
They were designed and built almost mathematically perfect. I mean they look quite rough after three millennia have gone by true, what with people taking stone to build their little mud and stone shacks and all...
So where are the people on mars that stole the stones for their little huts?
But, that is what you get when you speculate...
John Carpenter's "The Thing"
Do you have any idea how many millenia it has been since the presence of this Martian pyramid ? If you do why don't you enlighten the rest of us ...
"He gave his life for tourism"
You win . I'm speechless ...
Area 51 does not house aliens but extraterrestrial life exists: NASA chief
Actually, its angle is a little too steep for a real pyramid. It's a tad bit too "pointy".
I think it is just a broken rock. Possibly a rock that has many small layers, so it looks like bricks. Lots of things form pyramids when broken. And even in sedimentary rocks, the breaks reflect how the smaller grains break...
"The ancient Egyptians worshipped the sun god ISIS...." this is starting to sound like an episode of Stargate SG1.....when they find proof of the Gould'e Ill believe fact can be as true as fiction......
The pirates of the Caribbean were Muslim?
Of course . But what does that prove if its been abandoned for 100 k years or so ?
Again it's condition after that many years of being abandoned is not going to be pristine .
By all means , find us a naturally occurring pyramid . That would be strong evidence to support your case . Remember that this object is the size of a small car ...
OK-- so in that case-- which ancient culture worshipped ISIL?
Wasn't that Kalishnikov ?
NEEDS MORE TRANNYCAMS!!!
If you don't have any pyramids appearing on those trannycams I'm not interested ...
I was hoping that Dowser could come up with naturally occurring pyramids to support her claims. But apparently not . That leads me to conclude that this article has validity . Regular solids like this do not occur naturally ...
We'll never know until we send astronauts to Mars and I doubt trying to see if this is a real pyramid or not, so we'll probably never know because it won't ever been part of a mission to see if it is in our lifetime if there ever is. I think that if we send up several missions to mars like we did the the moon (and where we should return) none of them will have the time to check this out. They would have more important things to worry about.
It may not be necessary to do all of that just to verify this . If the Opportunity rover is still functional it could be sent to check out the obscured side of this pyramid up close . If it still looks smooth and regular on the obscured side that would be as close to proof of the synthetic nature of this relic as one can get without an in-person visit .
Not likely to happen. NASA (if it still works) has better things to do with it and it could be on the other side of the planet. Nope, we'll never know in our lifetime and probably not in our grandchildren lifetimes or theirs. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
OK Mr. downer . Thanks for the non-encouraging words . This could be a find equal to the great monolith in "2001 , a space odyssey " but all you have to say is fuhgiddaboudit . Maybe if I write to NASA and tell them YOU are not interested it would be sufficient motive for them to look into it ...
BTW you still haven't gotten involved in :
Are you afraid of what you'll find ?
This could be a find equal to the great monolith in "2001 , a space odyssey "
Or it could be just another fucking rock (most likely).
BTW you still haven't gotten involved in :
I have already expressed my opinion in another thread which you choose to ignore. Get yourself two or more women (or hell, even men) who will say they are married to you and take it to court, claiming your right to polygamy. You won't because you know it'll be laughed out of court and you'll need a very expensive attorney. If you honestly think this will lead to polygamy, then take it to court and find out. Otherwise your speculation is just horse shit. Or are you afraid to test the law, even though you are convinced it'll lead to that?
Thanks for not reading my thread which covers an actual SCOTUS declaration about polygamy [in favor] . Keep your head up your ass . It's so warm & comfortable there . Never mind the smell ...
BTW , what thread did I ignore ?
There is no reason why this is necessarily a made object. This article is a joke or hoax.
Fracturing and jointing have a multitude of factors that effect the how and why.
Thanks for the link . I'll look it over .
But let me finish by asking this question . If the obscured face is also a smooth triangle of the same size as the other 2 faces wouldn't you be inclined to consider this rock as a synthetic object ?
In the video, at 17 seconds in, it shows the rock to be on a side slope amongst other rocks. If you focus in on the one rock, it appears to be something that resembles a pyramid, especially if you rotate the frame as was done in the video. When you look at the whole picture, however, you will see that there are several rocks, that if rotated and buried in sand would also make a type of pyramid.
The long and short of this is, it is a rock. None other than natural forces need be applied to create this shape.
If you look at the 3rd comment :
you will see the actual NASA photo this was taken from . Where are these "other pyramids" on that photo ? I'm not seeing them ...
...
No-- it was actually his cousin Lobachevsky--- Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky to be precise!
Those differentiable Riemannian manifolds are TOUGH !
What I read or didn't read doesn't change one fact. YOU LOST! It will not lead to polygamy and you are lying when you say it will and you are just saying it because YOU LOST! The ruling is in and you can't change it. I's over and you lost!
You lost!!! You and your side have to just eat it and learn to live with it because it is now the law and your side can't do anything about it because you LOST!
It doesn't matter how it doesn't matter if you think it's states rights or that it moral or immoral. The fact is it's too late to bitch because you LOST!!! And you can't change it! That's the best part! You'll just have to learn to live with it because you LOST!!!!
You lost!
Comment removed for CoC violations [ph]But what's worse is refusing to read the info I seeded .Comment removed for CoC violations [ph] doesn't change the facts no matter how many smileys you put up .
What can be concluded about you from this exchange ? Comment removed for CoC violations [ph]. Burying your head deep in your ass is not unlike an ostrich burying his head in sand so that he can't see the horrors going on around him . It should be clear to anyone reading this thread that polygamy legalization is now inevitable . And after that unlimited group marriage . But that's not your problem . You can always put up more smileys ...
Readers , feel free to express your opinion here .
My opinion is...YOU LOST!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL!
Don't necessarily look for pyramids, but look for shapes that can be seen as a pyramid.
To form a pyramid you need a corner of a solid shape, but that shape can be a rectangular, square, rhombohedral,etc. solid, to form a pyramid just depends on the view that you are given. This particular picture shows several, especially in the upper left-hand corner, that could be viewed as pyramidic, given the proper orientation.
I cant tell what type of rock it is from this one, isolated image. It looks to be heavily striated, but whether that is a depositional feature or not...????
I am seeing maybe 1 possibility that meets your criteria sticking up at the left side of the top . But it has the wrong shape & angle .
Prandtl-m prototype could pave way for first plane on Mars
WASHINGTON, June 30 (UPI) -- NASA researchers are preparing to test the prototype that may pave the way for the first plane to fly Martian skies. The airplane is called the Prandtl-m.
[This news item is for those that are saying the pyramid will never be investigated . The above technology could make it possible ... even probable .]
New Horizons Sends Back Images of Mystery Dark Spots on Pluto
Several mysterious dark spots on the surface of Pluto have caught the attention of NASA researchers as the New Horizons probe makes its final approach to the dwarf planet
Several spots are evenly spaced along Pluto's equator, with each having a diameter of about 300 miles, according to NASA.
"It's a real puzzle -- we don't know what the spots are, and we can't wait to find out," Alan Stern, principal investigator for New Horizons, said in a statement.
Now that IS interesting - worth a new article posting.
The intelligent race that ruled our world for many centuries before they went extinct 200 million years ago. fired several space craft toward Pluto and they all crashed, one after another, leaving big craters.
Nahhh... That's an Ewok.
So man did exist at the same time as dinosaurs ... at last you admit it .
The intelligent race was known as the Trilobites. Existed Long before mankind was thought of.
It's just a rock.
I still say that the strongest evidence can only be obtained by maneuvering the rover into place to examine the hidden face of this pyramid . If it still looks geometrically regular it should have a strong effect on future planetary exploration .
It's just a beer can sized rock that ended up looking like a pyramid. Here's another rock carved by nature.
Even odder
What you say about the size is refuted in the article . As to the above picture ... yawn , so what ? Does it have planar triangular faces ? Are you trying to make as ass of yourself in your comments ?
How do you know that is a natural formation ?
This article says the pyramid is 4 inches tall, about the size of a soda can. As for the picture, the ass (like the pyramid) is in the eye of the beholder.
How about this? Our world is full of oddly shaped rocks and so is Mars.
Since that is on earth not Mars I repeat my above question : How do you know that is a natural formation ?
Really, Petey. It is a rock. Only a rock.
Nice cooling features.
You don't even know where it is let alone when it got that way . But have fun expressing your unsupported opinion .
How about this, Petey. If you are so supportive of the idea that it has been mechanically formed by processes other than natural forces such as weathering, jointing and gravity, why don't you prove that it is what you say? Prove that it is other than natural.
I am supported by a Bachelors degree in geology and years of experience with rocks. In the field, I have seen countless examples of rocks breaking in just such a fashion. What is your evidence?
The builders of the beer can sized pyramid have been found.
This completely screws up my wife's Passover.
Not much at building rockets....were they.
You are welcome to post whatever evidence you have . Please include the details such as the size of the resulting rock and any photos you might have . Also include details such as the number of faces which are regular polyhedra in such naturally occurring rocks . If the Mars rock was examined & found to have a clean triangular face on the hidden side would that affect your interpretation ?
No extraterrestrials invited to Seder ?
That's nice . But he did not bother supplying photos to prove his point . As to the size , that would be a far more serious criticism if it could be demonstrated to be accurate .
No, It wouldn't.
Tool marks would, or perfection (more or less) in the angles, and knowing what lies beneath the surface. We cannot tell what the rest of that rock looks like, because only a portion of it is exposed on the surface. We cannot even tell with any degree of surety that the shadowed side is planar.
Here is a picture of Devil's Postpile National Monument.
Throw a bit of sand on that scree slope and you will have apparent "pyramids" popping out all over.
Pyramid Lake in Nevada
The name of the lake comes from the impressive cone or pyramid shaped tufa formations found in the lake and along the shores. The largest such formation, Anaho Island , is home to a large colony of American white pelicans and is restricted for ecological reasons. Access to the Needles, another spectacular tufa formation at the northern end of the lake has also been restricted due to recent vandalism. [10]
To the contrary, Petey, Martian goyim welcomed.
'Course, there will be Five instead of Four Questions.
Thanks for your photo contribution . A cone is a lot more "natural" of a formation than a pyramid ...
The Matterhorn
Pyramid Peak, Antarctica
It does have a generally pyramidal shape . I'll give you that . But it is clearly a natural formation just because of the jagged edges , unlike the NASA photo .
The "pyramid" is not uncommon in nature.
It's a mystery . Here's another one : How did John Russell come up with a good question ?

Petey,
Why turn an interesting discussion into a personal insult session?
Mount Rtanj
The pyramids in Faroe Island
Pyramid formations/mountains from all over the world, how many do we need to show it's a common natural formation?
Gashebrum in the Himalayas.
Meepzoor.
France ... naturally .
Of all of the photos you posted that might be the most convincing . Here it is [I think ] in it's natural habitat :
Check it out
Pyramid shaped mountains
Good link : But some of the photos are manmade pyramids , like this one :
I asked you a hypothetical question and your reply consisted of a categorical rejection of the premise . Neither of us have proof of what the 3rd face of the rock looks like . That's why I want to take the Rover exploring while you merely reject the premise and refuse to go exploring . There's a word for that : bias .
As to your scree pile that is irrelevant inre to larger objects .
You are depicting nano-sized pyramids . When you can get one the size of the one at Giza happening in nature , let me know ...
Did you read his comment ? I generally find Russell completely unresponsive to questions whether they are thoughtful or not .
Your assessment of any member's performance has no relevance to this thread, an in fact, the way you phrased it is demeaning.
Why not be content with any/all thoughtful comments in your discussions?
That's why I want to take the Rover exploring while you merely reject the premise and refuse to go exploring .
You gonna pay to have NASA do that? It might well be too far away for the Rover to get to. I think we should all go outside (preferably at night), find Mars and squint really, really hard to see what it is...
In the case of Russell I can tell it was one of his classical "hit & run" type comments.BTW you got comment #100 . Congrats ...
PS : My left-handed[not PC?] compliment to him was still a compliment .
I hope that Curiosity will make its way over there to live up to its name and check it out to end all this speculation. Maybe it will discover some inscription on it.
Probably says "No Trespassing"
How about: "End of world sale - everything 50% off"
This would make a great topic - speculating on possible inscriptions.
The major expenses have already been incurred : designing & making the rovers ; launching them into Martian orbit and landing them intact on the planet . The amount of taxes required to pay for the rover "driver" to get the vehicle to the correct spot should be minor . Take them out of Eric Holder's salary since he is now going back to private industry .
Petey:
Wrong, and in so many ways.
No it did not. You said:
Here are the actions that I performed in response:
So no, you did not ask a merely hypothetical question. You asked for detailed evidence to support my contention that it is only a rock. I gave you object proof that rocks can and do break giving the forms that can make the pyramid form shown in the picture, even if the third side were shown to be planar.
Further, Devils Postpile National Monument is merely one example of columnar jointing in basalt, a fine grained igneous rock. There are dozens of dozens of examples of this, but I am not going to post them for they will fall, "like pearls before swine." You can look them up and educate yourself. I am not Going to waste my time trying.
It's just a rock, Petey. Just a rock. Just admit it. You got hornswoggled. Everybody does once in a while.
Thanks so much for wasting both of our times showing off your expert but irrelevant knowledge . Scree is too small to be relevant to the topic . I'm going to ignore you now "expert" . Feel free to STFU and go away .
I am lauging my fucking ass off!!!!
HaHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHH
Petey can't take it!
At last you have revealed where you keep your expertise !
Actually it says "Martian caused global climate change is a hoax!"
Okay I now did post an article on possible inscriptions.
It could also say "This End Up"
"No Photography!"
Mac, while the Ammonia example is interesting, a more cogent one would be the silica tetrahedra, the grouping and stacking of which into chains into sheets gives all silicate minerals their crystalline forms as well as dominant cleavages.
An interesting primer on the subject is here .
NASA says it's just a rock which is good enough for me.
Here are some big crystals .
Priceless!
A while back NASA had its mission changed to building the self esteem of Muslim nations ... by Obama.
I no longer trust their word on anything ...
Leave it to a Birther site to mock the idea of trying to find a way to peaceful co-existence.
A "Birther site" ? Wrong . Watch the video again ...
Do you have any idea how absurd that is ? The video is real . It is an event that happened & a real reflection on the anti-science agenda of Obama . Of course it was picked up by an anti-Obama site . But it still real . Your slimy method of attack has no merit in a real discussion .
I'm not challenging the authenticity of the video; I am challenging the way it was used by an anti-Obama/anti-Muslim group's agenda to try to turn an effort for peaceful, common ground based on Muslim scientific contributions TO A HATEFUL PROPAGANDA piece.
There is no "Obama anti-science agenda." Where'd that come from?
As for
You're a poor loser.
I would have thought it was obvious . Science is , if nothing else about future advances , not wallowing in past deeds . Obama was not interested in the future of NASA science ... only in the present of middle eastern obstructionism . Have his NASA policies changed since that video ? If so I don't recall reading anything to that effect .
It's the Republicans that hate science, like evolution, the Earth is more then 7,000 years old, the earth rotates around the Sun, the bible is a history book and you don't always have strange children when you marry your sister, or your Aunt, or your first cousin, etc.!
I thought this was an article about science. How did it change into a political hate-fest?
I blame it on aeon pax :
Not all Repubs subscribe to those beliefs . In any case Obama's anti-science agenda for NASA was spelled out precisely in the above video :
One more page view and the count will be 1200 ... too tempting to pass up ?
That's what happens when you post an interesting article, Petey.
It is really ok, AMac. Petey only believes the science that he wants to.
And you have revealed a stunning lack of critical thinking.
You discount ( here ) the considered opinions of NASA mission specialists on the size and uniqueness of the shape, even though they are trained, experienced and in charge of interpreting these specific Images:
You discount the words of our own residentHydro-geologist Dowser ( here ) who was gracious enough to give her learned opinion on the subject:
You discounted AMac here as being
I posted several items throughout this article as to why I think that it is just a rock:
And, you poo-pooed the many posts by NoWhereMan showing naturally occurring pyramids because some of them were man made... ( Here ).
So, you raise the bar time and again, deflect, ignore evidence and deprecate peoples' honest and good faith work in trying to show you the that the pyramid form is, in fact, prevalent and common in nature.
Nice job, if you are only interested in stringing people along and wasting their time. Otherwise, I would say that you are just an asshole.
Sorry, my post was truncated. My Bad.
You discounted AMac's post here as being too small to be relevant, though clearly crystals outward expression, parting, fracture and cleavage have everything to do with their atomic makeup and structure.
You accuse me of being biased ( here ), yet give not the slightest shred of evidence besides "I say so".
Expertise is not identical to objectivity . If you don't know that by now there is no hope for you in the future as the politicization of science continues at an increasing pace .

Just what does that have to do with Pyramids on mars?
You're the expert . You tell me ...
New Pluto photo shows hints of surface geology
NASA's Curiosity Rover Eyes Weird Rock On Mars
Actually, part of the far right conspiratorial thought come from the quote; "God (Nature) does not build in straight lines" which is of course a fallacy. Naturally occurring crystalline structures, trees, etc, exist. Ex: Deny Ignorance - There ARE Straight Lines and Right Angles in Nature!
If you can demonstrate a naturally occurring macro-sized pyramid I will withdraw my thesis . Talking about nano-sized crystals misses the point . The rock which was the subject of this article was said to be the size of a small car ... and it may have been the capstone for something much larger .
"conspiratorial thought"
So ... ignore what I said and plunge ahead with your "diseased mind" hypothesis . Got it . I can't wait to see what you do with this :
If you take enough pictures of the Martian surface, you will most certainly find multiple pyramid shaped rocks on its surface. You will also find rocks which look like human faces, like rectangular buildings, like kitty cats, like Rover the family dog.... If seen in the right light. And you won't need to take a lot of psychedelics, either. Believe me, there are a LOT of rocks on Mars. Some look like clouds which look like Elvis Presley!
I frequently hike in New Mexico, a state with a LOT of rocks. I know all about rocks and how they often look like familiar things.
That said, I dearly hope there are pyramids made by intelligent life forms on Mars. I hope the universe is scattered with wonderful life! This way, when the stupid humans have killed this planet -- Earth -- dead, I'll be able to die myself, knowing that the universe is replete with life, which is not so rare as we had once thought.
Picture removed violation of Ning TOS [ph]Thanks for turning this forum into a display of symbolic pornography . Try discussing the seeded topic .
