Are Thes Relics of a Lost Civilization on Mars? New Book Claims to Uncover Ancient Martian Architecture
By Archyde News
The rust-colored terrain of Mars, long considered a barren wasteland, may hold secrets far grander than we ever imagined. George J.Haas, founder of The Cydonia Institute, argues that a closer examination of Martian surface images reveals compelling evidence of an ancient, intelligent civilization. his new book, “The Great Architects of mars,” presents a detailed analysis of structures that he believes were intentionally crafted, not simply formed by natural processes.
Haas, who has dedicated over three decades to studying NASA images, contends that these formations – including pyramids, keyhole-shaped structures, and even a formation resembling a parrot – are remnants of a once-thriving martian society.He emphasizes the role of geometry as a hallmark of intelligent design.
You don’t have to be a geologist to know the difference between a rock and a sculpture — something that’s geometric,
Haas told dailymail.com. This perspective challenges conventional geological explanations and invites a re-evaluation of the Martian landscape. The question is, are these objects truly artificial constructs, or merely tricks of the eye?
The Debate: Pareidolia vs. Ancient Architecture
Skeptics argue that what Haas interprets as artificial structures are simply examples of pareidolia,a psychological phenomenon where the brain perceives familiar patterns in random stimuli.This is very common; think of seeing a face in a cloud or the “man in the Moon.” In the US, staring at Mount Rushmore could trigger pareidolia, as many see familiar faces in the rocks.
You might potentially be looking at the front of a car or a burnt piece of toast when you notice a face-like pattern.This is called face pareidolia and is a mistake made by the brain’s face detection system,
explains a common counterargument.
However, Haas remains steadfast in his belief that the complexity and geometric precision of these Martian formations go beyond simple visual illusions. He argues that the level of detail present in some of these structures cannot be explained by pareidolia alone, and this detailed approach is further outlined with each piece of ‘evidence’ he presents.
Key Martian Structures Analyzed by Haas
Haas’s book highlights several formations he believes support his theory. Let’s examine these structures in greater detail:
1. The Keyhole

Discovered in 2011 by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) within Libya Montes,this structure features a wedge-shaped formation conjoined with a circular dome. Haas draws a direct comparison between this ‘keyhole’ and those constructed by New World, Middle Eastern, and Japanese cultures, the most notable being the Kofun Tomb in Japan.
Haas,along with other colleagues,published an analysis in the Journal of space Exploration in 2016,concluding that While there are known geological mechanisms that are capable of creating and destroying the individual angles and planes presented in this formation,the natural creation of two opposing geometrically designed formations seems to go well beyond the probability of chance.
2. Parrot Geoglyph


This structure, located within the Argyre Basin, was noticed by independent researcher Wilmer Faust in 2002. Haas and his colleagues at The Cydonia Institute then analyzed it. Haas claims that it has been recognized as a parrot with a head, eye, beak, a body, a leg and foot, and a wing with feathers.
Haas then argues that, unlike cloud shapes, the Parrot Geoglyph contains details such as eyes, irises, and eyelids. It’s got 22 points of anatomical correctness… It’s a sculpture, it’s a work of art,
