The Intelligent Mars series is devoted to uncovering and analyzing the covert artificiality of the Martian landscape. Intelligent Mars I was focused mainly on demonstrating how the mountains are arranged according to sacred geometry. Intelligent Mars II is a detailed study of the craters on Mars. It also presents the discovery of a multiplicity of ancient Martian coordinate systems.

There are thousands of craters on Mars, so many in fact, that we have been led to believe that this was always a dead planet exposed to billions of years of bombardment by asteroids and comets leaving huge holes in the landscape. The first indication that some of the craters might actually be artificial in nature rather than naturally formed was the discovery of survey craters discussed in Intelligent Mars I. I was content for a long period of time to simply assume that these were the only craters that were artificial, created for the special purpose of marking out the location of the centres of important mountains. Eventually, however, I realized that a number of craters were not simply circular holes, but contained straight line segments, notches, steps and other deviations in their perimeters and interiors. Such aberrations pointed to the existence of a code embedded in the various structural features of these craters which could only have come into existence by intelligent engineering.

At first I reasoned that crater locations and crater abnormalities might mark out some sort of grid which could be used by overhead spacecraft to determine their positional coordinates but I could find no evidence to support this. I also experimented with the possibility that several craters might lie on long straight lines which pointed to important sites. This also proved to be a dead end. Then I noticed that many craters had perimeters which could be fit to certain geometric shapes such as squares and other polygons. The shape of such craters is rarely a perfect polygon but enough information is always present to construct the polygon from basic starting information. An amazing finding was that polygon-shaped craters are sized according to music intervals found in the chromatic scale used by our own musicians on planet earth. The use of polygon shapes and the sizing to music intervals suggested that several craters might actually be encoding a form of sacred geometry. But the biggest key to breaking the code of the craters came in the remarkable discovery of multiple prime meridians, prime latitudes and degree systems used by the ancient Martian civilization. These were employed by the architects to determine where to position craters and their anomalies so that crater features and fitted geometric shapes would have coordinates which reflected sacred geometry primarily in the form of the irrational constants of φ, π, e, √2, √3 and √5, and in the integers representing the angle sizes found in the pentagram, equilateral triangle and square.

So on one level, the code of the craters embeds the message of sacred geometry. But the Martian use of sacred geometry must have had an even deeper message of its own. This would appear to be the proclamation of a spirituality that values harmony with a Divine Creator who created the universe and themselves out of sacred numbers and geometric shapes. The Martian civilization wanted their home planet to resonate with the act of creation and hence with the Being that created it. Their architectural creations were to assist them with union with the Divine much like Yoga techniques and meditation are intended to do for its practitioners. I believe that this is the chief message that we can learn and should take from our study of ancient Mars.
