I was trying to find cool stories about Mars that could be interesting to discuss here. I ended up thinking about an old theory a friend of mine shared with me back in high school. Yep, I was already into weird stuff back then! ...Can't believe this was 15 years ago. I always thought it was a neat story, so now that I rediscovered it, it's time to share it with all of you.
Imagine that humans used to live on Mars millions of years ago. At some point, they had to leave Mars and head to the Earth to make sure their civilization would survive. Some cataclysm that made Mars what it is today is the cause of such a journey to the Earth. We pretty much know that Mars became hostile to life as we know it billions of years ago...
I'm suggesting here that our Martian ancestors would have been able to survive on the planet for a long time after that cataclysm, probably underground, until it was completely, a 100% sure they had to leave for Earth with what little remained of their technology and civilization.
We imagined them as some sort of early space-age Aztec/Mayan civilization that was in its downfall, living underground in ruins, all their stuff being in very bad shape, damaged, like in gritty/badass space movies. They had to have Aztec-looking, unreliable and weird spaceships, partly made out of junk. (Now that I think about it today, maybe they just built a jump gate... would that be even more plausible than a space journey after all?)
Those who were able to get here ended up landing and founding different very ancient cities/civilizations such as Mu and Atlantis, among others. Since the civilizations founded by those who came from Mars are long gone, there's no proof to support this theory.
That's a bit reminiscent of some Anunnaki tales, but I assure you we didn't know about these guys when we were in high school.
