Additional commentary by Greg Stockton:
Wow. The enlargement really changed its appearance. You are
correct to say it looks like a pyramid. It possesses the following
features which support this argument: (1) flat sides which slope
perfectly up to the
point (2) the sides appear to have the same angle of slope (3) the baselines
of the sides are each perfectly straight (4) the sloping sides adjoin each
other in perfectly straight seams, which also happen to culminate in the
apex.
Observers may well note that there is no apparent apex. There is a
large hole/indentation in its place. It may be tempting to label this
as a small volcano with a caldera. No way. The base of the
entire mass would have to be round, or at least irregular in formation. The caldera would have
to be more exactly centered. True, the indentation is at the top.
But it is off center, and located impossibly close to the east slope.
There is zero sign
of lava flow.
Then why is there a hole at the top where the apex should be? Could it
be an impact crater? Possible, but highly improbable. To make a
round crater without collapsing at least one of the sides, the impacting
body would have to vector in from directly above. I estimate the
chances of this happening at 300 to 1, maybe higher. Considering that
this blast ring is located at the apex of an apparently artificial artifact,
I am driven to the
conclusion that it was destroyed by missile. A powerful one, maybe a
low yield nuclear weapon. Such a weapon would have penetrated the
target to a certain depth before detonation. A blast from within the
object would explain the concentric, perfectly round crater, as well as the
condition of the slopes.
Mars has long been associated with war, and probably for a good reason. The
D&M pyramid at Cydonia also appears to have been blasted apart through
one of the sides. If Mars was once a thriving civilization, as some of
us believe, would not catastrophic war loom as one possible explanation for
its demise?
A cautious prediction: This was probably an arcology. Further
enhancement of the cratered area may show a honeycombed appearance which
would confirm this. Also, the small "hill" to the NNE may
well prove to have a pyramidal form also.
Note: We should remember that this is not a 3-sided object. Its
base constitutes the 4th side, making it a tetrahedron. This form is
significant within Hoagland's hyperdimensional
theory.
