A Detailed Picture Of "Inca City"

Illuminati Member writes "Space.com has an article that shows off new, high quality pictures, from the Mars Global Surveyor, that shows what Inca City truely is. In 1972 the Mariner 9 took some snapshots of Mars and one picture showed ridges formed in a peculier manner. This was eventually dubbed 'inca city' for its unusual formation. Now, the MGS has given us the true picture of this anomaly. Interesting thing was how the formations could possibly be more proof of the existance of water. The intensity as the picture was beamed to us from the satellite was high, and the excitment at what it showed was grand."

What do you mean delusions? There is no way that that could be a natural formation. I mean really!

Water? by dacarr · 2002-10-16 08:18 · Score: 4, Insightful

So water exists on Mars. This is fairly fascinating.
Granted H(2)O is required for sustaining life, but water can theoretically exist on any planet without sustaining life, yesno? That there's water, AFAIK, doesn't mean there is life.
Troll me if you will, but consider that the media has a habit of reporting half of the information in their attempt to jack up their ratings before you do.
