The D&M Pyramid of Mars

by Erol Torun

The following article is the result of work done in 1988 and 1989 concerning an enigmatic landform located in the Cydonia Mensae region of Mars. The object pictured here is five-sided, pyramidal, and located a few miles from the Face on Mars. Like the Face, the D&M Pyramid is part of a complex of unusual landforms that may be the product of intelligent design.
