Patterns with candidate artifacts
As more candidate artifacts have been found some interesting patterns have been found in their positions. These results should be considered cautiously as the odds against chance have not been calculated. However it should be apparent that if one randomly placed a pin on this globe the chances of it falling on one of these lines is fairly small. So the chances of a new candidate artifact falling on these lines amounts to a test of this theory. One advantage of this theory is that these candidate artifacts were selected for other reasons than their positions, and so should act as random locations in regard to angles between them. There should be no faults or other geological processes which would explain these results so they are either random or non random, and if non random indicate artificiality.
On a previous web page I showed that candidate artifacts are often found in a narrow band of latitudes in relation to an old pole position, which may indicate when they were constructed, if indeed any are artificial. The path of this proposed polar wander and old pole positions can be seen here. The new face, Spaceman 2, also falls in this range of latitudes.
Using a Globe
I have used an Earth globe here and will transfer these results to a Mars globe later. It is better to do this on an actual globe rather than an online map because the results are easier to see and harder to make a mistake with. Providing the pins are at the right latitude and longitude the rubber bands in between will give one the correct angles.
In this first image b is the Crowned Face. As will be shown the Crowned Face is on one end of a degenerate triangle, i.e. 3 formations on a single line with the Hangar and Amphitheatre, and almost in line with the new face Spaceman 2. The lines enable one to calculate angles between these formations to see if the angles are significant. The angle abg, KK face , Crowned Face, Spaceman is about 35 degrees and gbe, Spaceman, Crowned Face, Crater Face is also about 35 degrees. The angles ebc and abe are 70 degrees. The angles can be checked with a protractor on these images. So this is unlikely to occur by chance, that there are two angles of 35 and two of 70 degrees, and that the Crowned Face at b is also on a degenerate triangle.
