Conspiracists See 'Ancient Pyramid' in Mars Photos

Images from the Mars Curiosity Rover have one conspiracy theorist website convinced there's an ancient pyramid on the Red Planet.

In a YouTube video posted by Paranormal Crucible, a narrator points out the "remarkable artifact" has "a near perfect pyramid design."

"Due to the size of the object about the scale of a small car I would theorize that the artifact is either the capstone of a much larger pyramid possibly buried deep beneath the surface, or perhaps a marker stone," the narrator declares.

"Whatever this mysterious object may actually be is open to debate. But I would suggest due to its near perfect design and shape, this anomaly is the result of intelligent design
and certainly not a trick of light and shadow."

Story continues below video.


Curiosity landed on Mars in August 2012, and an image gallery put together by NASA shows several photos of rocky terrain, although it's not clear if any are featured in the Paranormal Crucible video.

The video set off a barrage of comments, mostly skeptical, including one poster who offered a picture of a pyramid-shaped stone taken on planet Earth.

Another commenter joked, "It's crystal clear that's a damn pyramid although I find it quite suspicious that there are no camel footprints in the sand …"

Still, life on Mars might not be too far-fetched. A geobiologist at Old Dominion University in Virginia told Space.com Curiosity has possibly discovered signs of life fossilized in the sands of Mars.

Nor is it the first time conspiracy theorists have been intrigued by provocative images from Mars.

Earlier this year pictures emerged reportedly showing a mushroom cloud on the Red Planet and the shadow of a worker next to Curiosity, the London-based Mirror reports.
