Anomaly hunters scouring the latest NASA images of Mars for strange and unusual objects spotted a peculiar feature that resembles a doorway on the side of a hill. The intriguing oddity was photographed by the space agency's Curiosity rover this past Saturday as the vehicle was continuing its mission exploring the Red Planet. The image in question, which can be seen in full and in color here, shows a rocky hillside that initially appears fairly pedestrian until one looks closer and sees what appears to be a doorway seemingly carved into the landscape and leading into a hallway with walls sporting smooth sides.
Some observers have noted that the intriguing feature bears an uncanny resemblance to the entrances of temples in ancient Egypt and, as such, have posited that the perceived doorway served a similar function for a building of significance to Martians who resided on the Red Planet in the distant past. Of course, as always, skeptics will argue that the curious sight is merely a natural formation that merely looks fantastic thanks to the phenomenon of pareidolia. What's your take on the eyebrow-raising anomaly? Is it the opening to an ancient Martian temple or simply the product of erosion? Share your thoughts with us at the Coast to Coast AM Facebook page.
