Okay, it's only a story I was telling myself yesterday evening, when I was in my bad and I couldn't sleep.

I imagined that finally a team was sending on Mars. When they arrived there, they find ruins of an ancient civilization. They also find some scripture really near from Earth elder languages like Hebrew and Sanskript. So, they can translate some scriptures and learn more about the Martian civ. They was quite devellopped, socially and scientifically. They had an advanced technology, a religion also, monotheist, of course. And finally, we will discover that they was forced to leave from Mars to colonize earth, before life on Mars destroyed by 'an alien danger'...us...

Interesting idea, ever think about becoming a writer? Plot seems kind of overused with mars and all, still interesting though.

It does sound interesting... combine "2001" and "the Martian Chronicals".

Boy, wouldn't that be odd?
Of course, that also brings up 2 more questions:

1.) Where did this old human race go?

2.) How would the public react?

I must compliment you on the story though. Its quite good.

The martian chronicles is my favourite book.

A little bit stargate, too.

i wish i could go i would lve to see for myself the fotgotten world and all its mystries it has to explore.

Could become a Science Fiction book, but the chances of that happening are really really really really low.

We send satellites and found nothing to what your say. Can argue the 'Mars Face' was an artifact, but the face was just an illusion played by the Sun on us.

Wonder if you could connect your story to missing link.

We never really explored Mars yet. I'm sure many surprises are waiting us there.

sounds more like "mission to mars" to me

Does any body think there is life on mars?

Highly improbable. At least life as we know it. Maybe fungi or bacteria or something frozen. Even that is questionable?
