Ancient Astronauts From Mars?

Is that a sphinx we see on Mars
      Resembling the one in Egypt
Just how were the pyramids built
     And pharaohs placed in lavish crypts

When Mars’ oceans began to dry
     Did species seek preservation
Did ancient astronauts arrive
     To colonize a new nation

To date, the complex construction
     Of Egypt’s tombs sparks speculation
Are Martians in man’s family tree
     Hanging limbs, green blood relations


* For the "Sphinx Head on Mars?" contest

Daniel Cwiak Date: 9/23/2010 3:14:00 AM Interesting thoughts, Diane. As a student of archeology I have to scratch my head at times at some of the things that have been uncovered here on our planet, wondering how they got there. Great write and congrats on your win in the contest. Dan C Login to Reply

Phyllis Babcock Date: 9/18/2010 9:46:00 PM Who knows what is out there. We did not think we could fly or climb everest or land on the moon but we have. So many mysteries to unfold. Interesting topic. God Bless Phyl Login to Reply

Gert W. Knop Date: 9/18/2010 6:44:00 AM I enjoyed the read today, Diane! Mars still has many hidden suprises. There must have been water once on Mars. I wonder what the first austronauts will tell when they return from there. Thank you for commenting my poem "When I am dreaming". Best of success in Carolyn's contest!...Gert Login to Reply
