Because you are using low res images from the Viking Mission!! Have you
gone back and looked at the Mars images taken by the myriad new/current
missions that have much higher resolution??

And I did look at the pictures but saw nothing, absolutely nothing of
what you described.

Again, it is extremely easy to misinterpret shadows, particularly when
you are zooming in on a low res, grainy image. The human mind likes
patterns and will find patterns. And no matter how well you train your
mind, you will be susceptible to optical illusions.

For example, you interpret deep shadows as being entryways, etc. But,
those Viking pics didn't exactly have the greatest dynamic range.
They're just shadows from boulders.

Look, it would be uber cool to see incontrovertible proof, but the
examples you provide don't even come close. If you are going to insist
that there are buildings on Mars, you should at least catch up on the
times and use the most recent images!

Clear Skies!

No one even made mention of the pictures. They can only dwell on the book. Are they scared to face the fact that there are buildings on Mars? Or is every one blind to it? Reminds me of the three monkeys. One had his eyes covered, one his mouth, and one his ears. Like in the movie The Planet of the Apes.
