Barsoom
Edgar Rice Burroughs was a legendary writer who lived from
1875 to 1950. He created Tarzan, the Land of Pellucidar, novels of the Moon and
Venus and Barsoom. The arid landscape of Barsoom was filled with dead cities
and towering green warriors, not to mention a princess or two. We of earth call
this world Mars.
A planet of extreme mystery called Mars. You would think
that with all the rovers and orbiting probes there would be less mystery today
about what is on this red planet that has so fascinated humans for thousands of
years. Not so. The alien hunters are out in full force. More speculation and
more stories exist now than ever before about Barsoom.
Now without actually having put explorers on Mars, it is
very difficult to believe the main stream scientists who are positive about what
does and does not exist on Mars. There exist hundreds of photos of Mars taken
from the rovers sent there or probes that have orbited the planet. And for most
of these photos, there are those who see shapes that should not be there.
The experts debunk these “sightings” of statutes, buildings
and other evidence of aliens. They say it is caused by pareidolia, a
psychological response that sees everyday items in random photographs or random
occurrences.
The latest case involves a rock formation on Mars that bears
a striking resemblance to Stonehenge. The alien hunters believe this extraterrestrial
arrangement of rocks on Mars is so similar to Stonehenge in England that they’re
calling it Marshenge.
The shape hunters of Mars see circles and a square in this
arrangement of stones that sits on top of a cone shape mound. This stone circle
was highlighted on the Facebook page called Journey to the Surface of Mars along
with many more photographs showing unusual or alien features. Some of these
shapes when colorized for enhancement show very clearly shapes that do not
occur naturally.
Is the Ankh cross real or a figment of over eager imaginations?
What about what looks like a building of some sort that when
colorized looks metallic?
Or a pair of pyramids on Mars?
Then there are shapes that look carved or man-made, or
should we say alien-made?
How about what looks like a machine part laying on the
surface of Mars?
And this is just a small sample of controversial photos from
Mars. Is there any truth to Edgar Rice Burroughs tales of Barsoom? Over the
years, I have learned you can “never say never”. In other words, keep an open
mind about the mysteries that still exist. After all, isn’t that what science
is all about? To learn new things and re-write the history and science books.
What we grew up being taught about history, science or even
everyday products is not always true anymore. Everyday new things are being
discovered in the world of science and history that affect our lives. Even the
safety of everyday products, check out the link below.
