The Great Architects of Mars: Evidence for the Lost Civilizations on the Red Planet

A deep investigation of mysterious geometric structures on the surface of Mars

• Explores a wide variety of anomalous structures on Mars’s surface that display a high degree of geometric and pictographic design

• Examines sites such as the Elysium pyramid famously described by Carl Sagan and city complexes in the Nepenthes Mensae and Atlantis Chaos regions

• Argues that Mayan creation stories of a Star War and Sumerian myths of the Anunnaki provide ancient evidence for the existence of a Martian culture

Exploring evidence of a lost Martian civilization and its contact with Earth, investigator George Haas examines a wide variety of anomalous structures and geoglyphs on Mars’s surface that display a high degree of geometric and symbolic design that reveal an ancient bond between Earth and Mars. He takes a closer look at Carl Sagan’s famous pyramid of Elysium, including high-resolution images released after Sagan’s death. Investigating a pair of city complexes in the Nepenthes Mensae region of the Red Planet, Haas shows how the settlements include geometric formations of a five-sided star and a hexagonal pyramid, along with geoglyphic formations representing a dove, a killer whale, and a bat. Examining the Libya Montes region, he reveals a keyhole-shaped formation identical in design to ancient tombs built in Japan. In the Atlantis Chaos region, he investigates the remains of an ancient city nestled along a dead lake, an urban-like array of gridded broken walls and shattered foundations. He then explores a detailed parrot-shaped geoglyph in the large-impact crater known as Argyre Basin that four veterinarians found to possess 22 points of anatomical correctness with terrestrial parrots.

Providing an ancient Mesoamerican connection to the civilizations of Mars, Haas looks at a lesser-known Mayan creation story about a Star-War that occurred 800,000 years ago. He reveals parallels between this story and ancient Sumerian stories of the Anunnaki occupation of Earth and Mars as documented by Zecharia Sitchin. Haas also shows how there is a direct correlation between the ruins on Mars and the art and architecture of Mesoamerican cultures, providing clear evidence of a long-disappeared Martian civilization that we are only now rediscovering.

George J. Haas is the founder and premier investigator of the Mars research group known as The Cydonia Institute. A member of the Society for Planetary SETI Research, he has coauthored two books and six peer-reviewed science papers related to anomalous formations on the surface of Mars. He has appeared on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and on the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens, The Proof is Out There, and The UnXplained with William Shatner. He lives in Waterford, Virginia.

“An exciting investigation into the millions of years of what could very well be remnants of ancient civilizations.”“George Haas has done it with The Great Architects of Mars. An exciting investigation into the billions of years of what could very well be remnants of ancient civilizations.”“A unique and extremely important book that provides the clearest and most precise evidence ever compiled to support the existence of artificial structures on the surface of Mars.”“The pyramids, buildings, and megalithic reliefs that George Haas has uncovered in this book leave little doubt that an advanced race of beings once inhabited Mars. In the face of this evidence, it’s curious why NASA finds it necessary to ignore and cover up this vital information and the unknown history that waits to be explored.”“George Haas has written a thorough, well-researched new tome on the Mars and Cydonia question that adds new detail, makes new discoveries, and enhances the debate on these long-disputed subjects. Highly recommended and a worthy addition to a discourse that now, more than ever, needs to be engaged regarding the Red Planet.”“It’s high time the hypothesis of an ancient civilization on Mars be given serious attention by the scientific community. George Haas is to be commended for undertaking his analysis and presenting his findings of potential Martian structures.”“George Haas analyzes unusual and seemingly artificial features on the surface of Mars from an artistic and architectural perspective. He compares these features with similar ones on Earth and builds a case for the development of an ancient civilization on Mars not unlike our own. These sites may be good targets of opportunity for future exploration by planetary probes and human expeditions.”“Very interesting indeed, particularly the comparisons of the North American Native mound complexes with the pyramidal formations on Mars. The pictures are clear; the arguments are not overzealous. The book will somberly and persuasively add to the dialogue and debate about life on Mars—past and present.”“There are a lot of geoglyphs on Mars that seem to resemble things on Earth, and many of them have some similarity to different things that were in Mesoamerica and various Mesopotamian cultures. It’s worth exploring.”
