A mysterious rock resembling an ancient Egyptian statue has sparked an online debate about ancient civilizations on Mars.

The image, taken by NASA’s Curiosity rover has sparked a debate whether it is possible that thousands, if not millions of years ago, an advanced ancient civilization—resembling the ancient Egyptians civilization on Earth—may have developed on the surface of our neighboring planet, Mars.

Here is the link to NASA’s official image.

In fact, this discovery, in addition to countless other oddly shaped rocks has sparked a debate whether it’s possible that life may have originated on Mars and was ‘transferred’ later to Earth.

In earlier articles, we reported how Dr. John Brandenburg a plasma physicist who worked as a consultant at Morningstar Applied Physics LLC, who also worked at NASA claimed that in the distant past, Mars was inhabited by advanced alien civilizations, who were destroyed in a massive Nuclear war that engulfed the red planet.

Dr. Brandenburg invented the Microwave Electro-Thermal plasma thruster using water propellant for space propulsion. He was also the Deputy Manager of the Clementine Mission to the Moon, which was a joint mission between the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) and NASA.

“Mars presents the human race with a Darwinian intelligence test, and so far, we are failing it. Scientists cannot connect the dots at Mars because the resulting picture is too terrifying to accept.” (source)

NASA’s Curiosity rover has photographed countless images while exploring the Martian surface.

In its long journey, the rover has come across oddly shaped rocks which, according to UFO hunters and paranormal researchers on Earth are evidence of life on Mars.

In the past, the Curiosity rover has snapped images of statues, helmets, perfectly-shaped rocks, hieroglyphs, and even what some believe are fossils and living creatures.

Most of these ‘odd’ images can easily explained as Pareidolia—a psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to a stimulus, usually an image or a sound, by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists.

However, there are many other images from Mars that defy explanation, prompting people to wonder what if it is possible that in the distant past, Mars was home to an advanced civilization?

The image of the alleged ‘Ancient Egyptian Statue’ on Mars was discovered by Joe White, from the YouTube channel ArtAlienTV—MARS ZOO.

“I have found what looks like to be a small feminine looking statue head on Mars in Gale Crater in this latest Curiosity Rover picture from NASA,” said Joe White, while describing his discovery in the video below:
