Without knowing the exact characteristics of the camera, lens, the position in which the photo was taken (alignment wise to the object in question) it's hard to tell if the rectangular shape is due to distortions, pixel aspect ratio, image image unwrapping, etc, or if that it is it's real shape.

But for what is there I would say it's more along the lines of a rectangle and doesn't resemble a typical Egyptian pyramid with a square base.

But that doesn't mean that this could not be a pyramid with a rectangular base, who knows.

However personally for as much I would like to see a pyramid in Mars, I really doubt this is one. NASA would not let something like this slip if they were on a mission to cover up tracks of past (or current) civilization on Mars. It's just easier for them to erase the whole thing using a cheap healing brush in PS or do not publish it than have to deal with all the fuss.

Humans already have a tendency to find patterns everywhere, add to that the will to see something and it will be there

Are these the lines you were talking about?


The line jutting to the right is more pronounced IMO but they are interesting. Again the diagonal line I drew overlapping the pryamid's "apex" is only 21' or so- very small.

All I see are the red lines that you made sweet heart. But thanks for being an architecturalist.

I wouldn't call something 20' wide a mountain but it doesn't take a pyramid to produce an "almost" perfectly triangular shadow, just the right angle of lighting. Did you notice the other "almost" perfect triangle in the upper right?

But nature is pretty good at making "almost" pyramids. I wonder what kind of shadow these would cast with the sunlight hitting them just right.

Thanks Phage, it's quite amazing that nature can come up with such regular formations, I would scarcely have thought it possible. Thanks for opening my eyes

Wow!! In the last Flickr photo, not only did the photographer clearly capture a man made pyramid; but also (easily spotted by the trained eye) what appears to be flying mermaids of some sort.

I love this site

Very nice Phage, you never disappoint!

/Sarcasm on

All things pyramid must be made by someone!

/Sarcasm off

I like the pics. But you also have to admit that although pyramid shaped rocks, boulders, or mountains are possible in nature, its not common. But why are we comparing this structure with ones on earth? Mars is in fact a different planet. Unless you've been there yourself and have studied its surface, you can't accurately say it's not a pyramid.

(Edit) Also if you bring up that last photo, I don't trust anything that comes from NASA, seeing as how they edit the majority of their photos before releasing them to the pubic.

You're right. I cannot prove it is not a tiny (eroded) pyramid.

So you think that's not a rock in the last image I posted?
