Humans have a history of building picto-graphically designed mounds, geoglyphs and entire cities in the shape of animals and human figures... so why wouldn’t some other civilization, lets say on Mars - utilize the same idea, especially if you wanted to communicate with an off-world viewer orbiting your planet. Could these terrestrial structures be viewed as an analog to what we are finding on Mars? Lets start with this... Animal Shaped Cities to be built in Sudan (August 2010) Southern Sudan has unveiled ambitious plans to remake its capital cities in the shapes of a giraffe, a rhino and a pineapple. Here are the plans for the Rhino. Here are the plans for the Giraffe. See Full Story: www.aboswell.com/?p=188GJH

The next installment on our tour of terrestrial cities with pictographic forms brings us to the Argentina city of Ciudad Evita, which was built in the shape of Eva Peron’s profile in 1947. Note: Eva Peron's profile is highlighted and faces to the right. Here is an overview of the Eva Peron city with city map and a photo of her in profile. Not a flattering design.... GJH

University of Missouri anthropology professor Robert Benfer has found numerous mounds in the shape of animals such as a duck, condor, orca and a caiman/puma monster rising above the coastal plains of Peru. Here is the duck formation. Benfer says that the body of the duck was a natural formation that was altered by adding a head to create a duck-shaped mound. The circular mound above it may represent an egg. The formation dates to approximately 3,500 years ago.

ZipMonster, This image below is from UFO Diaries - Cydonia episode. (This is the series that Mars Revealer claims that Hoagland provided the images - including additional face mounds). Have you ever seen the image below, and if so, do you know if it is a real Mars image?

Plans for a bird-shaped museum in Sweden is underway. The museum will showcase a bird gallery of Jan-Erik’s rare collection of conserved birds. This will be set in a building shaped like a snipe, measuring 58 metres between the tips of its wings. The building will host the gallery but also feature a restaurant, shop and facilities for groups to hold conferences and conventions.

Similar to the crocodile-shaped Holiday Inn built in Australia, most people are unaware that a section of the ruins at Machu Picchu are shaped like a giant caiman. Here is Machu Picchu Here is the caiman-shaped complex. Here is what the caiman might have looked liked before the original roof-like covering was lost. GJH

Along with the caiman - the designers of Machu Picchu built the overall complex in such way that the city looks like a majestic condor flying west. Here is an aerial view of the Machu Picchu complex. Here is a drawing of the complex. Notice the design of the foundations and terraces conform to the shape of a flying condor. Note the two wings, the head, neck, chest and lower leg. GJH

The next zoomorphic formation we will visit is another Inca archaeological site known as Ollantaytambo. Located in southern Peru about 60 kilometers northwest of the city of Cusco, Ollantaytambo was built in the side of a mountain - in the shape of a pair of lamas. Here is Ollantaytambo as it looks today. Here is a drawing of the lama-shaped foundations. Here are the lamas. GJH

A large pentagram, measuring roughly 1,200 feet (366 meters) in diameter, is etched into the Earth's surface in a remote corner of Kazakhstan. "The five-pointed star surrounded by a circle is located on the southern shore of the Upper Tobol Reservoir....There are almost no other signs of human habitation in the area; the closest settlement is the city of Lisakovsk, about 12 miles to the east."
