I fully admit, coming to terms with the very nature of what appeared to be an "Alien mind", when I first began researching the Martian surface, initially, left me quasi paralyzed in a state of shock. What I began to see, was a pattern of images which had congruency of both style and artistic form of the most bizarre compositions.
I soon began to accept that I was not prepared for what I was seeing, and that my subliminal notions of what an extraterrestrial "whatever" should be....was woefully inadequate!
But then, after deep introspective over several months, I realized, I had no right to determine what I should....or should not see, and that, in order to move forward, I needed to put aside my preconceived chauvinistic notions.
And, when I did this, something astonishing happened to my eyesight, brain relationship.
Suddenly, I began to see a world, both carved in the rock strata as well as multi-dimensional holograms peering from beyond the veil. And in all those images (and there were literally thousands) almost all, professed the same ludicrous cartoonesque, infantile quality about them! I knew then....no one, was EVER going to believe this.
I scoured the internet to see if others were discovering similar tales. There were none. I attributed this to just how deeply buried the evidence was. Excavating the huge Jpeg2000 high resolution files from NASA and converting them into an easily readable format without loss of any data, was a gargantuan task, and that step frankly, was just the beginning. No wonder there was no mention.
In the now famous image of Victoria Crater, there were several examples of these bizarre holographic evidences and have discussed most here in another thread by rdunk: http://www.theoutpostforum.com/tof/s...ll=1#post50582
But here is one I have not posted thus far, and in many ways, defines the infantile character of their seemingly nonsensical nature is found between the two distant bays on the far side of the crater from where Opportunity was stationed.
Now be advised here...most all who examine this huge rendition "plastered" on the slopes leading down from that small satellite crater (perched on Victoria's rim) will have some difficulty at first . In order to grasp this, one must remind oneself that this artwork is a bizarre "portrait" that depicts a very strange cartoon!
The cartoonesque animal is quite possibly a rat or even a mouse. But this is no ordinary rodent. For this mouse, is sporting a crown with several prongs! The crown is unmistakable. The rodent with his "blackened eyes" is no other than a prince or even a KING RAT!
Around his neck, is wrapped a formal majestic "ruff" commonly used with 14th to 17th century gentry and aristocratic attire. His arms (and it does look to be a male) are folded at right angles as he stands in a side profile position. In his hands, there seems to indicate a gesture of sorts, possibly holding goblets.
Yes, I agree, most strange indeed but consider this; this style of art is common and quite visible, IF one's eyes and cognitive reasoning can somehow adjust to the absurdity of this Alien reality!
