Mars is saturated in mystery,a fiery-red planet that has burned itself into the imagination of mankind from the earliest myths to the latest Hollywood movies.But it also houses a secret,mysteriously intertwined with our own past and future - a secret that we ignore at our peril. For Mars is a world ravaged by catastrophe.There is a tremendous gash in the side of Mars,4.500 kilometres long and almost 7 kilometres deep,that seems to have been torn out by some demonic force.It is also a hell-world,merciless,bleak and uninhabitable. But it was not always so.In 1996 NASA announced that it had found traces of micro-organisms in a meteorite that had crashed into the ice-sheets of Antarctica 13,000 years ago after travelling tens of millions of miles through space - from Mars.This was not the first clue that there may once have been life on the planet of war.Twenty years earlier,in 1976,NASA's Viking 1 orbiter had taken two photographs of a mile-long sculpted 'face' and nearby 'pyramids' in the Cydonia region of Mars,near the shore of a former ocean . . . In 'The Mars Mystery',the authors of 'Fingerprints of the Gods', 'The Orion Mystery' and 'Keeper of Genesis' (see my book ID rja770918) present the latest scientific evidence of a hidden menace lurking in our solar system - the fragments of a giant comet that passed close to Mars,and to the Earth,some 20,000 years ago and that broke up into dozens of fragments kilometres across.The evidence suggests it was an intense bombardment of these fragments that 'killed' Mars - not millions of years ago,as most scientists still suppose,but very recently. On Earth it is becoming more and more obvious that a previously unidentified civilization may have been destroyed and lost during these cataclysms.'The Mars Mystery' investigates the extraordinary possibility that an equally great civilization could also have been destroyed on our neighbouring planet at around the same time and by the same cosmic cause. As the authors move towards a literally earth-shattering conclusion,they find themselves involved in a web of strange occurrences,coincidences and intrigue that raises fundamental questions concerning NASA,the American government and the clandestine work taking place at the Gaza plateau in Egypt, questions of our past and of our future. And the all important question . . . Will we learn from the catastrophic history of our twin planet? Or will we share its fate?
