Another Mound Enigma Mound "P" shown next to hexagonal anomaly
and shallow, elliptical basin (far left). A new Mars Global
Surveyor image of the Cydonia "City" area shows Mound "P"
accompanied by its hexagonal "pedestal." Also apparent is a
unique shallow basin that extends from Mound "P's" western side.
The suspiciously building-like Mound "P," hexagon and basin form
a complex of mutually reinforcing anomaly. Intriguing "crumpled"
feature east of Mound "P" and hexagon. Also present (although
not included in the new MGS image) is an angular oddity I refer
to as the "beercan," as it looks vaguely like an aluminum can
stamped flat on the Martian surface. Since each of the above
features has its own distinct morphology, it's not likely they
were formed by a single geological process. Yet their proximity,
similarity in size and evident uniqueness demand a sensible
explanation. I have little doubt that if such a collection of
disparate forms was discovered on Earth's surface via remote
sensing, archaeological expl
