It always surprises me with CT believers that they, well, believe that any rock on Mars that happens to look artificially carved is in fact so done. The phenomenon of rock structures being weathered into what appear to be human carvings is extremely common here on Earth, especially in the southwestern USA. Sleeping Ute Mountain (looks like a Ute Indian lying down on his side) near Cortez, Colorado is one example, as is Capitol Reef in south-central Utah (a prominent feature there looks like a capitol building's dome). I don't hear legions of CTBs insisting that that Utes carved a mountain to look like one of their chiefs, or a patriotic pioneer carved a capitol dome into the red-rock of southern Utah. They're accepted as merely eroded by wind and water. Mars too has wind--and perhaps water--and therefore has erosion. Is it that hard to see that geology is geology, even on another planet?

Even worse is their tendency to see objects in ancient art and claim that it is "alien technology".
Puh-leez. The Maya glyph for "book" looks like a hamburger and I don't see them claiming that this mean the Maya had Big Macs.
