New Mystery on Mars: A "Triangular Pyramid" Bewilders Scientists

SadaNews - A video clip from NASA has reignited one of the most exciting theories about the red planet, after what is said to be a "triangular pyramid" resembling the pyramids of Egypt was spotted, opening the door to new questions about the possibility of an ancient civilization on Mars.

The discovery of a mysterious pyramid-like formation on Mars has sparked widespread controversy, with theories suggesting the possibility of a human-like civilization that may have once lived on the red planet.

In recent days, a video clip showing the surface of Mars has circulated widely on the internet, with some believing it reveals a triangular pyramid.

This formation was first spotted in 2001 by researcher Keith Laney while he was analyzing images taken by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft, in search of unusual formations.

Laney stated at the time: "If this shape were found anywhere on Earth, we would have started digging immediately." Recently, documentary filmmaker Brian Dobbs reposted the footage, claiming "there is a triangular pyramid on the surface of Mars the size of the Great Pyramid of Egypt."

No Evidence of Ancient Life

While he acknowledged that this discovery does not constitute conclusive evidence of ancient life, he pointed out that it raises serious questions about the possibility of other beings that may have inhabited the planet in the past.

This "pyramid" is located in the western part of the "Candor Chasma," one of the largest canyons within the Valles Marineris system, the second-largest canyon system in the solar system.

This area is known for its steep slopes, landslides, and layered rock formations, which scientists emphasize are capable of naturally forming striking geometric shapes.

5 Different Images Revealed the Formation

The formation appeared in five different images captured by the Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter missions between 2001 and 2016. The first image taken in July 2001 showed one side of the formation illuminated while the other two sides were engulfed in shadow, highlighting its triangular shape.

Subsequent images captured under different lighting conditions confirmed the presence of the same shape. In more recent higher-resolution images taken in 2007, additional details emerged, including sharper edges and clear symmetry between the faces.

Images captured in 2014 and 2016 showed the same triangular shape, with variations in shadows due to changes in the angle of sunlight, further enhancing its geometric appearance.

Researchers pointed out that the formation maintained clear triangular symmetry in all images, despite differences in image quality, shooting angles, and seasonal conditions.

Dobbs is among several researchers who have raised questions about the possibility of industrial structures or even the remains of extraterrestrial beings on the surface of Mars.

In this context, researcher George Haas stated that "distinguishing between a rock and a geometric sculpture does not require a geologist." In a study he co-authored, Haas noted that "the structural form of this triangular pyramid exhibits a degree of geometry and symmetry that supports the possibility of it being of artificial origin."

Laney went even further, considering the formation "almost certainly artificial." At the end of 2025, old documents from the CIA were revisited, discussing mysterious experiments aimed at exploring Mars.

According to these documents, the experiments included a project called "Stargate," in which the consciousness of one participant was transferred through what is known as astral projection, later describing his vision of a pyramid and a road indicating the presence of an ancient civilization. One participant from the experiment said: "It felt like I was looking at a pyramid or pyramid-like shape from a tilted angle."

Former U.S. intelligence officer Joe McMoneagle also noted that these experiments observed similar pyramids on the surface of Mars, some larger than the pyramids of Egypt, containing "huge rooms."

Despite all these claims, scientists emphasize that resolving the nature of these formations will only be possible through direct exploration of the surface of Mars, as speculation continues about their origin, from natural phenomena to interpretations that transcend the boundaries of science.
