Remember when some Anons a few weeks to months ago posted a picture highlighting that shiny particle from under Curiosity?

Well it isn't from the rover... it is Martian.

Curiosity’s Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera took this image on the mission’s 66th Martian day, or sol, (Oct. 12, 2012) showing part of the hole or bite left in the ground when Curiosity collected its first scoop of Martian soil five sols earlier. A clod of soil near the top center of the image contains a light-toned particle. The observation that the particle is embedded in the clod led scientists to assess this particle as Martian material, not something from the spacecraft. This assessment prompted the mission to continue scooping in the area, despite observations of a few light-toned particles in the area being scooped. The image shows an area about 2 inches (5 centimeters) across. It is brightened to improve visibility in the shaded area. (credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)

Here's a theory that no one has ever come up with.

Mars was once inhabited by intelligent beings. There was a civilization. An unknown series of events caused their extinction or forced them to abandon the planet. We are finding remnants of their civilization.

Theory: There's an entire ancient civilization waiting to be excavated on Mars but since we only send tiny robots on Mars, no one's been able to dig up anything.

Theory: Mitt Romney's hiding his gold and diamonds on Mars.

I know you're trolling now but just for fun I'll elaborate for my own sake. Sacred geometry, pythagorean theorem, and the gold mean/cosmical circle all occur at Cydonia naturally as mathematical concepts. They are not 'forced to fit' as you have stated.

And if you still aren't convinced you can take the structures at Cydonia and overlay them on a map of Avebury (ancient megalithic site in England) and fit the two together. Two sites, on two different worlds overlaying each other perfectly.
