the marineris rupture

Altimetric data shows evidence that the Valles Marineris was not an
outflow. For over 30 years, the truth has been hidden. A catastrophic
rupture appears to have occurred there, as a result of the double
asteroid Isidis\Hellas. Although magma would normally seal such a
crustal wound, the shock of this massive double-asteroid strike seems
to have cut rotation speed in half, allowing the mantle to subside.
Suddenly, nothing could prevent the downward pressure of the
primordial ocean; and so began the greatest flood in known space.
Now we can see the resulting desert in the northern plains, contrasted
with mighty vents and fumaroles near the current equator. More
intriguingly, the contents of the former ocean may even be present
today in the form of two odd moons, whose slow accretion from steam &
ash have lent them the same essential composition as clay. This is
indeed a grim reminder of the importance of angular momentum in the
fragile balance between the mantle and oceanic lithosphere.

Indeed, the most intriguing aspect here is the huge domed auditorium
partially hidden by the suspicious earthen outcrop and only visible through
the use of infrared imagery and remote viewing. The long cobblestone path
from it's grand entrance hall leads to the royal chancellory and the public
flogging grounds, where martians of yore were disciplined for infractions of
the martian codes.

Further into the 'hidden' areas are the more malevolent aspects of the
public vomitoriums and the temple of the Great Eternal Space Goat, who
lingered there briefly in the third millenium of ZoxIxinor the flatulent.
Not many remain that remember the night of the Djralls - the horror, the
humanity! Now all that remains are the blue-green nodule excrement
containing the digested remains of the once proud Martian race, brought
asunder by genetically engineered hamsters.

But alas, those were bygone days. The only remaining ruins other than this
area is the grand Zindi fields whose ritual inscriptions can still be made
out from space, inscribed in the ancient scripts and vaguely reminiscent of
the shapes of valleys and hills.

Ah, Hoagland's "Faeces On Mars". Now it all makes sense

There are artifacts. There are monuments. But Earth has yet to see the
tripods again after 100 long years.
