Mars has always been our favorite planet for science fiction stories about Aliens. We have had "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury, and "The War of the Worlds" by H. G. Wells. We have visited Mars with Mariner, Viking, Mars Global Surveyor, and many more! All these images have brought great scientific research. Plenty of mystery and conspiracy about Mars. And for the average guy, "Google Mars" to use for desk top exploration. Here is probably one of the best sites I have found on Mars. In Schiaperelli Crater, on the wall of the crater. I see a memorial of some sort, to a Martian Astronaut?!
This is what I see. It looks like a "Coat of Arms" or memorial to this Martian explorer. I numbered the relevant features in the smaller thumbnail image. 1 a lions mane, 2 a smiling alien, or frog 3 a porcupine, 4 Emperor Penguin, 5 another Penguin, 6 a Building or structure, 7 the Astronauts Space Craft, 8 a stork, 9 the Martian Astronaut, 10 a human in Egyptian type head dress. Here is the thumbnail.

Is it really possible that Martians visited us in our history? Followers of the "ancient astronaut" theory might believe. If you look into "The Virtual Museum of Iraq," you'll find a familiar face! Enter the Museum, go to the Main Halls. Then click on "Prehistoric Hall", and manuever over to the three statues on the wall. Finally click on the "male Figurine - Eridu, grave 68."
The Virtual Museum of IraqHopefully, NASA programs will continue to explore our neighbor Mars. As will many other countries in the future. Will astronauts find evidence of life on Mars!?
