While this is a spectacular image which appears very convincing, upon closer examination of the surrounding area - especially beyond this section - there is what I interpret as a vast and natural pattern of erosion, somewhat similar in appearance to tessellated pavements. LINK: Secret Mars - www.secretmars.com/mia041-ruins-of-a-settlement-2MJ Craig Hi MJ. Thanks for joining the discussion. Tessellated pavements are naturally created grid patterns of square and polygonal blocks that resemble mosaic tiles, however unlike the deep and hollow, box-like structures, with high standing walls, observed with in the ruins of the Martian Atlantis complex - the creation of tessellated pavements are relatively shallow. They occur in flat areas and their borders can appear as ruts or groves, while others have slightly raised borders that are short in profile and generally uniform in shape. GJH Thank you for your response George. I meant to stress "somewhat similar..." more so in appearance. On the original HiRISE image ( www.uahirise.org/ESP_019103_1460) vast stretches of this cellular terrain exist, just beyond the "city" area, and elsewhere further South. Some have these "walls", some are more eroded. Significantly, the majority of these formations extend wide over hilly areas, and to my eye blend in with the geological terrain quite naturally. My conclusion would be that this particular area highlighted, shows these cellular formations eroded to a point where they give the appearance of destroyed buildings and walls.

Located in the Cerberus/Tartarus region on Mars is a stepped pyramidal structure that is highly unusual (Figure 17). Notice the long extended ramp and the central mound formation set within a rectangular platform at the top of the structure. The central mound is oval in shape and has two small circular mounds set below it. There is also a thin, cord-like feature that follows the ramp to the eastern edge of the platform and runs down the southern side of the pyramid wall to the ground. This Pyramidal structure with Long Ramp strongly resembles the famous Etowah Mound produced by the indigenous people in Georgia. Notice the central square-shaped mound and the overall spiral, stepped design of both formations. Figure 17 Pyramidal Structure with Ramp Left: Cerberus/Tartarus, Mars Right: Georgia GJH

Here are the remains of a cylinder-shaped stadium structure located in the Arcahia Planitia region of Mars. Notice its outer wall and jagged rim (Figure 18). It appears that its roof has been blown off at some point, revealing a highly irregular interior that is partially collapsed. A similar stadium like building called Ksar Draa is found in the town of Timimoun, which is located in the Adrar Province of Algeria. Notice its cylinder-shaped outer wall and jagged rim (Figure 18).

Image analyst and member of The Cydonia Institute Jim Mill discovered an oval or lozenge-shaped mound with a narrow, flat plateau that runs along the top of the formation in the Chryse Planitia region of Mars (Figure 19). The Martian mound looks very much like an oval-shaped earthen mound that also has a flat, central platform that runs along the top of the formation in the state of Georgia. Part of the Kolomoki Mound group this mound is known as Temple Mound A and is one of the oldest mounds in the United States, dating back to around 30AD. Perhaps both mounds were designed by the same architects... Figure 19 Mound comparison left: lozenge-shaped mound, Mars Right: Temple Mound A, Kolomoki Mound group Georgia. GJH

Located along the western edge of the Elysium Planitia is a massive collection of anomalous formations that includes a cluster of geometrically designed mounds (Figure 20). The first is a long serpentine-shaped formation with a central spine and segmented ribs. Sitting on its eastern side is a circular mound that also has a set of radiating spines. And directly below the circular mound is a geometrically opposing, four sided pyramidal formation. This grouping of geometric structures appears to be archeologists that could be produced with the aid of geodesic domes.

Here is another structural oddity that I found in the same area as the cylinder-shaped stadium structure located in the Arcahia Planitia region of Mars (See Figure 18). Notice the partially destroyed walls and foundations that form a low lying grid of liner cells that take on the shape of a Truncated Torso (Figure 21). Its compartmentalized walls can be compared to a section of ruins located at the Cajamarquilla archaeological site found near the coastal city of Lima, Peru. Notice the tightly knit set of compartmentalized walls and interior grid work of cellular foundations in both images. Figure 21 Compartmentalized walls and grid work. Left: Truncated Torso City.

In 1988 independent researcher Keith Morgan acquired an orthographically correct composite photo of the Cydonia area on Mars, by Dr. Mark Carlotto (Figure 22). While Morgan studied the area that Richard C. Hoagland called the “City Square” he noticed what appeared to be a set of brightly lit, small mounds which were clearly visible in the city complex. The mounds caught his attention, because three of them seemed to stretch out in a curve from around one of the main pyramidal structures, located to the southeastern end of the City Square. In his diagram you can see the accuracy of the curve through the mounds (labeled 1-6), with the fifth being offset, yet touching the arc, while the others falling on the arc with fairly accurate symmetry (Figure 22). Figure 22 The Morgan Curve Left: Detail of orthographically correct composite photo of the Cydonia area on Mars, by Dr. Mark Carlotto Center: mounds labeled 1-6 by Morgan Right: The curve. ...... Morgan sent his discovery of the curve to a researcher that worked at the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) as a Cartographer Geomorphologist, Erol Torun. He found an 'X' and 'Y' axis of the curve that produced a logarithmic function of the curve (Figure 23). Notice the 'X' and 'Y' axis fall along key points that are similar to the alignments of Cydonia that he and Richard C. Hoagland discovered. Figure 23 The Logarithmic Function of the Curve Detail of orthographically correct composite photo of the Cydonia area on Mars, by Dr. Mark Carlotto Notations by Morgan The 'Y' axis rayed from the three mounds of the City Square, through a mound on the corner of the pyramidal structure that the curve stretched out from. The center of the D&M pyramid (Labeled 1) points right down the 'Y' axis, through two markers, connecting these two major anomalies (D&M pyramid and the City Square). The 'X' axis points from the mound at the end of the ray, and then out through another mound, along the corner of another mound, and ending at the edge of the "Fort" (Labeled 2).
