Ancient Warrior Woman Statue found by Curiosity Rover, hints life on Mars

- Curiosity rover has sent latest images from Mars and it suggests that an extra-terrestrial army once roamed Earth’s neighbouring planet. A sharp-eyed amateur astronomer spotted a curious-looking statue that looks similar to a head of an ancient warrior woman.

Joe White, a space video journalist from Bristol spotted the statue and being a keen observer, the amateur astronomer says it has all the earmarks of being the head of an ancient Egyptian warrior woman.

“I have found what seems to be a small feminine looking statue head on Mars in Gale Crater in this recent Curiosity Rover image from NASA. Only a few inches in size or less. It resembles a carved depiction of a female warrior wearing a helmet similar to some found on Earth from the Middle Ages,” the 45-year-old video journalist said.

“It has a possible emblem on the forehead and some very interesting facial features that look almost Egyptian in artistic style. This is one of hundreds of similar artefacts that I have found on Mars in recent years and may go further to show that there was an ancient and artistic civilisation on Mars in the past,” he added.

A month ago, Barry DiGregoria, an astrobiologist at the University of Buckingham had similar viewpoint about the statue image, and he claimed that Mars had experienced life in the past years.

NASA has been streaming photos from Mars ever since their robot Curiosity landed in August 2012.
