FRANCE: We don’t know. But there might be a pyramid.NASA’s Curiosity rover has captured images of what seems to be a perfectly-formed pyramid on Mars and, unsurprisingly, conspiracy theorists are excited.
The pyramid is around the size of a car, and the sensible explanation is that it is a rock formation that has formed a pyramidal shape by chance.
But others have come to a different conclusion. Citing the ‘near-perfect design and shape’, conspiracy theorists are saying the pyramid is the creation of an intelligent being and therefore it’s possible it was built by an ancient Martian civilisation.
Some go further, suggesting that we on Earth are descended from this Martian civilisation.Which seems unlikely.
But it isn’t the worst idea. Even astrophysicist, scientific commentator and all-round good bloke Neil deGrasse Tyson has suggested in the past that if there were life on Mars – and yes, it’s a big ‘if’ – then it is not impossible that human life originated there.
