NASA spots mysterious ‘three-sided pyramid’ on Mars resembling those in Egypt

A mysterious pyramid-like structure spotted on Mars has sparked theories that an ancient civilization similar to our own may have once existed on the Red Planet, the Daily Mail writes.

A viral post has flooded the internet this week, highlighting a NASA video of the Martian surface that some claim shows a three-sided pyramid.

The formation was initially spotted by researcher Keith Laney in footage captured by NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) in 2001. He was scanning the imagery for unusual structures when he came across what he believes could be an artificial formation.

The footage was recently reshared by documentary filmmaker Brian Dobbs, who claimed: ‘On Mars, there is a three-sided pyramid the size of the Great Pyramid in Egypt.’

Dobbs acknowledged the structure is far from proof of ancient life, but said it raises questions about whether another species could have once inhabited the planet.

The formation has been observed across five separate images taken by NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter missions between 2001 and 2016.
