Jim's Personal View of Anomalies

Pathfinder a blasted and washed over site

Ok so NASA put the pathfinder down in a flood plain intentionally, we also know that Cydonia and Viking 1 are in proximity to pathfinder. What's the point? Look at the image to the left. The Darkened area where the three locations are grouped could well be one simple thing, a dried up ocean. This means that the three locations are what we refer to here on Earth as waterfront property.  The accepted theory on Earth is that people settle along the rivers and shores first then move inland, why would it be any different on Mars? Much of the research we have done at Anomaly Hunters.com is revealing that very concept. Water is necessary to life as we know it so the most promising places to find life would be along the waterfront.  It could be noted here that Viking2 was placed in the middle of what would have been part of Mars ocean, the terrain there was very plain and non-descript, quite different from what is seen at pathfinder and V1.

To this point I haven't added anything new to the discussion just reaffirmed what we already
know and accept. Mars once had large oceans and bodies of water, this water disappeared
in what is assumed by science to have been a cataclysmic event. This event is speculated
to have occurred millions of years ago, but has also been speculated to have only been several
thousand years ago (20,000?)

Several researches at Anomaly Hunters have focused on Viking, (Sam for one) I have also viewed
the viking area with interest and it is noted that there are many artifacts there. We all know the
story of Cydonia and the many structures observed and catalogued in that location. Pathfinder
is no different in the amount of material that has been observed. From the twin peaks which
resemble two distant pyramids, to the rock garden itself which appears to have been (to me at least)
an area which at one time was the site of a rather impressive structure.

Let's take a look at pathfinder with the thought in mind that water not only destroyed this area
in a cataclysmic flood, but that it was once an idyllic waterfront location that thrived in the
not too distant Martian past.
 
 

This is a view from the lander looking west towards the twin peaks. I have colored the lowest lying areas in blue to indicate where water might have been. The base of the rock garden, area closest to the lander, was demonstrated to be a set of steps. There is two parts to that idea, Part 1 shows the steps and Part 2 shows the left hand enclosure for the steps

 

Now we have the area furthest away from the lander and closer to the twin peaks. What I observe is that this entire scene is like a tidal area. Those familiar with shore lines know about barrier islands. There are many smaller islands that lie within the bays that are formed behind these islands as they stand guard to hold back the ocean from the mainland. Many small tributaries weave their way in and out of these backwater islands as well.

Below are two images of Assateague Island at the bottom of the barrier islands that run from Delaware through Maryland to the mouth of the Chesapeake in Virginia. This is typical of waterfront areas.
