Pyramids on Mars -- Pyramids in Egypt. Egyptian hairstyle and facial features on the face on Mars, like the Pharohs and the Sphinx. (These are not shown or covered in the movie -- but in various books.) A good start would be Hoagland's web site and book, referenced in the thread mentioned above.

Another good author, with several books about this subject, is Zecharia Sitchin who translated the Sumerian clay tablets and wrote books about his findings. One of his finding is about why missions from Earth to Mars fail.

Hi Gilda,

Would you give us more info on Sitchen's ideas about why Mars probes fail. And which of his works is this covered?

Thanks...

Flash, I sure hope I have the right planet. But I will check my books. There are six volumes of The Earth Chronicles and a couple other books, relating to the series. It is fascinating reading. Check The sites Uncle Bob put up.

In fact I first heard of Sitchin on another forum and thought they were talking about Sci-Fi, imagine my amazement when I started reading about the translation of all these ancient tablets. Sure sounds possible to me. I haven't read all the series, but I'm working on them. And I just keep being more amazed.

By the way, I just returned from seeing "Mission to Mars". While they do land in Cydonia, and encounter "The Face"...it's made to look like your average Grey Alien, not Egyptian..which bugged the heck out of me.

The movie sucked..sorry..but it tried very hard to be decent. Just too many LONG scenes of close ups of peoples faces staring sadly as other people died...blah blah blah. I kept wanting to yell "OKAY, GET ON WITH IT!" How long does it take to walk five feet..? In this movie, ten minutes...with dramatic music playing in the background. Yes yes...we get it, yes..okay..uhhuh..COME ON..MOVE IT!!! MOVE!!!! Sorry...rant off.
