These lines don't exist in our high detail infrared scans. In fact the picture on my profile is a high resolution 3D model I made from the highest resolution of these scans. That picture shows the area where the most obvious very large river would have been on Mars. As you can see the indentation in the terrain clearly shows water flow from it's smooth lines. Interestingly Mars is a little lopsided, so if there where oceans on Mars it would have covered about half the planet. The render I made shows what a terraformed Mars would look like. The original 3D model has an accurate volumetric atmosphere, and uses tessellation to create really high resolution, to the point where you can go into the atmosphere and the surface still looks pretty good. There are some artifacts caused by the scanning that look like lines when you go really close up, but nothing like what is shown in the video.
Then came the night the first missile approached Earth. It was thought to be an ordinary falling star, but the next day there was a huge crater in the middle of the Common, and Ogilvy came to examine what lay there. A cylinder, thirty yards across, glowing hot, and with faint sounds of movement coming from within. Suddenly the top began moving, rotating, unscrewing, and Ogilvy feared there was a man inside trying to escape. He rushed to the cylinder but the intense heat stopped him before he could burn himself on the metal...
The couple points alluded to in this documentary was that with H.G.Well's classic; given his socialist leanings, the martians were a strong criticism of European colonization. Especially of Africa which at that time had reached a fevered pitch. The Martian Chronicles; at least in the early stories, often played as the settling of the west in the USA relocated to the Red Planet. One story which didn't really translate well for the twenty first century: Way in the Middle of The Air(1950), was axed from some recent reprints of the chronicles. In it, there is a mass exodus of African Americans who commission a fleet of spaceships to help them escape the prejudice here to the promised land of Mars. The final rebuke of a small town bigot was a brilliant response to the evil done to them for too long. Please keep this series going, I love it.

Ilian Ceroni I took a year of Latin and had the same question. It’s only in English where we distinguish “Channels” from “canals” (the former being natural and the latter being artificial). Italian, from my understanding, doesn’t make a distinction because it really doesn’t matter.
Ironically, suspected radio transmissions including the static seen on early televisions on channels where there was no transmission was also suspected as evidence of Martians. Just search on Tesla and Martians...
James A. Franklin well, other tongues may have this distinction, but yes, Italian doesn’t have two words. But I guess every language has its weird specific thing😂 Today it may be useless, but it probably was a useful information once: water streams were more dangerous and artificial ones were probably more safe🤔
@@TheSlasherJunkie In Italian, Romanian and other Latin countries, they use the specification words in front or after the word ''canal'' or ''canals'' ex: irrigation canals, vs radio canals or canal de scurgere (sewage channel) radio canal (radio channel) etc.
I am a fanatic of War of the Worlds. It all started when my dad and I watched the 1953 version of the movie on a late Friday night. I bought the book to read right after that. I still have that original book and have read it at least 1000 times. I've also found some other books about it. I also have the 1938 radio broadcast.

Again, our monster stories tell us a lot about ourselfs and our society. I find it interesting how aliens sometimes are friends and sometimes enemies, sometimes humanoid and sometimes something else. Aliens are a good metaphor for meeting unknown people. Are they dangerous or friendly? Are you afraid or do you accept them? It appeals to our basic instincts, fear and curiosity, also willingness to help others. It is no coincidence that Americans who are against immigration are more likely to call immigrants "aliens", it is a linguistical tool to express differences and the risks that come with them. If ever intelligent, humanoid aliens visit earth and it seems like they come in peace, I can guarantee that humanity will be split in pro and against alien groups. The pro groups might think they are partners and that we can learn from each other, the contra groups might think they are in fact dangerous and maybe have some evil plan. Knowing humanity, we will probably end up fighting each other over wether or not we accept aliens. I have this idea for a science fiction novel where this scenario happens. Aliens come to earth, we humans aren't quite sure what to make out of that and start dividing ourself. The conflict of interests escalates and we start a war among ourselfes while the aliens are watching. End of the story, humanity is weak now and almost destroys itself. It turns out that this was the aliens plan: Come in peace, wait for humans to weaken themselfes and now they are in power. Alternatively, it could end openly and the story doesn't tell if the aliens ever had any bad intentions.
5:38 Did you just compare the Martian Manhunter to an alien menace? I know you can't research every character you probably find reference to, but the Martian Manhunter is probably the most heroic and selfless fictional martian anywhere. Plus he isn't really obscure--he's been a popular, front and center feature in DC comics for the last 60 years.
I noticed that too, but I don't think they meant any disrespect to our boy haha I think what they were referring to was how J'onn and DC martians tend to have some reptilian features when they're not shape-shifting to their human apologetic. Although I believe that's actually a more recent change to his design, where his original look had him in his humanoid form all the time, so I guess it doesn't quite fit the video's narrative?
The confusion about channels and canals somehow has leaked into the realm of possible typographical errors. Hood Canal, in Washington state, is a naturally formed fjord.
I remember the ending of the episode of Cosmos with Carl Segan that was about Mars. He concluded that with potential explorations of the planet and possible colonization that the "Martians will be us." The end of the Martian Chronicles also ends the same way with the two families meeting together on the planet and a version of this story was used in the TV mini-series where the kids want to see the Martians and the father points to their reflections in the water of the canal saying they're the Martians.
As much as I love mythical monsters from Earth's past, I'm very happy to see this series also touch upon contemporary fictional creatures, aliens especially. Also... RAT-BAT-SPIDER-CRAB WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST MARTIAN! ;)
I absolutely love the diversity of the video topics! Every new upload is a surprise and I'm always eagerly waiting for the next one! Keep up with the amazing videos!! 😊
What's interesting about the depiction of Mars and her people in modern sci-fi is that while it's colonized by humans, they are often at odds with humans from Earth, such as in The Expanse where Mars and Earth are the two rival super powers of the Solar System, or in Babylon 5, where Mars' people are oppressed and killed by a dictatorial regime on Earth. That trope of Martian humans being distinct from Earthern humans and sometimes being at odds with them can even be seen in works like Warhammer 40K, where the Martian Adeptus Mechanicus' work on Mars is sometimes seen as borderline-heradical by the rest of the Imperium. So in modern Sci-Fi the classical, alien Martians who sometimes were hostile, but also more advanced or utopian has become integrated with the more modern concepts of human colonization of Mars with these traits being applied to people who now don't look alien, but behave that way, which I find interesting. Further, the Martians of the DC universe are often depicted in the classical way, as aliens who are far more advanced than us and live in peaceful utopia, which is interesting in so far as it is nowadays an anachronistic outlier in its depiction of Martians due to DC Comics' age.
I'm pretty sure that the werewolf myth rose up in a village, which a very strong wolf attacks every full moon, and around that time a villager disappears, only to be seen the next morning.

I told my science teacher about something people thought were microscopic organisms that I’m pretty sure were from mars. He’s also the one who taught me about PBS Eons. Cool guy.
There's an underrated book by C.S. Lewis, "Out of the Silent Planet," that takes place on Mars, and was actually a deconstruction of the hostile Martian invader mania of the time. Written in the 1930s, it actually seems like a throwback to pre-Wells depictions of Martians, where the locals live in a more moral society, although not necessarily a more technologically advanced one. Indeed, the main antagonists of the book are not the Martians, but humans. Indeed, influenced by the colonialism of the time, Lewis opined that if there are Martians, they have more to fear from humans than we do from them. 7:28 And wait a minute, are those Graboids? Maybe they really did come from outer space...
@Allen Clark Precisely why it shouldn't have been left out. The video basically begins and ends with debunkings, from the Martian "canali" to Orson Wells' Martian invasion hysteria. So far our evidence of life on the Red Planet is a whole series of illusions and that we should guard against falling for them.
The theory about CANALS on mars is very interesting, esp because there is a very similar theory or observation for an advanced ancient human (or alien) species on EARTH as well. Researchers have noticed a similar trend with many of the most powerful, industrious, and successful cities from various civilizations around the world... which is having an intricate system of canals or aqueducts. Places like greek/rome, venice, as well as angor wat in SE asia, mohenjo daro in india, tenochitlan of the Aztecs/mayans in mexico, and even in Washington DC. They all have a very advanced canal system built to transport water and boats as well as irrigate crops. Another interesting similarity is that they were all mostly built on swampy/marshy land... where earth and water would meet.... like DC or tenochitlan used to be a swamp until these cities were built, and became swampy after the city was abandoned (if it didn't dry up like in angor wat). T he canal system in DC is called the C&O canal and actually goes a very long way from the Chesapeake bay in Maryland up the Potomac river all the way to Ohio valley.... and ohio is another significant area where large groups of native americans lived and made large pyramid like "temple mounds", some of which still exist today like the serpent mound. The engineering for these canals seems pretty technical and clever, having to find a way to transport boats with many locks/gates to raise and lower the water level. I wonder what other unknown history exists about these canals, and if there is any link or greater meaning between the similarities of the large canal/aqueduct systems on earth and what we see on mars. These canals were like basic terraforming, shaping the land to better suit the industrious city... and I wonder if the preference for swampy/marshy land has any greater significance to it such as Mars being swampy at one point (or even Venus actually, I could see that being a watery planet before its atmosphere changed). Hopefully we will learn more in the future.

I saw the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds movie as a kid, backtracked to the book, and it's been a favorite of mine ever since. It's a great, if very thinly-veiled, commentary on British imperialism. Not nearly as topical as The Time Machine nowadays, but I find War of the Worlds more entertaining.
It was also Wells's concern over society's complacency in the face of any kind of disruption of their "little, carefully planned lives"/lives he saw as being lived by rote. By habit and class rules etc.

I had a chuckle at the photo at 06:19 of the "U.F.O." - turns out that the chap who photographed the ground installation accidentally double-exposed the film and shot his desk lamp. He never claimed to have seen a U.F.O., but once the photo managed to get out, well, there was no stopping it.
a theory i had heard was that the "canals" that were observed were actually reflections of the veins within his own eye. which explains why his observations were consistent.

"Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show"
Kudos for including clips from Aelita. Most people don't even know it exists.
I don't know what that is so I guess I'll give them more Kudos
I love this channel so much.
There's an underrated book by C.S. Lewis, "Out of the Silent Planet," that takes place on Mars, and was actually a deconstruction of the hostile Martian invader mania of the time. Written in the 1930s, it actually seems like a throwback to pre-Wells depictions of Martians, where the locals live in a more moral society, although not necessarily a more technologically advanced one. Indeed, the main antagonists of the book are not the Martians, but humans. Indeed, influenced by the colonialism of the time, Lewis opined that if there are Martians, they have more to fear from humans than we do from them.
7:28 And wait a minute, are those Graboids? Maybe they really did come from outer space...
That book is great. Though doesn't the main story happen on Pluto?
No discussion of life on Mars is ever complete without the Face on Mars controversy. It's like talking about the Earth and leaving out its oceans.
It's fake. Mars itself is fake.
The flat earthers told me so.
@Allen Clark Precisely why it shouldn't have been left out. The video basically begins and ends with debunkings, from the Martian "canali" to Orson Wells' Martian invasion hysteria. So far our evidence of life on the Red Planet is a whole series of illusions and that we should guard against falling for them.
Imagine what our world would be like today if in 1877 we really discovered intelligent life on Mars.
WHAT IF WE DID, HENCE WHY WE HAVE OUR ADVANCED MILITARY TECHNOLOGY AND LIVE WITHIN A REALM OF PERPETUAL WAR...
This is more of a historic channel and I swear I love it
Space! Martians!!! I love that the show went there. I loved it and I'm loving the space theme that's happeneing this summer. Thanks!
Stay spooky!
7:25 In the future, the desert planet of Mars shall be known by a different name.
Arrakis.
Omg!!!!
This is the content I’ve been looking for
I always look forward to viewing your channel.
Please do one on griffins.
I must admit I was disappointed that you skipped the 1950s use of Martians as analogy to the cold war - the Red Menace from the Red Planet.
The "Ice Warriors" in the Doctor Who tv series are supposed to have originated on Mars.
Who ever thought that out of all media involving Mars, the one most likely to happen now is Cowboy Bebop’s.
The Dr doesn't look 150 yrs old... Amazing!
The news had a field day 😂 i love it
Fun fact: the pokemon Sableye is based on a supposed space alien encounter.its the story of the Hopkinsville goblin
The theory about CANALS on mars is very interesting, esp because there is a very similar theory or observation for an advanced ancient human (or alien) species on EARTH as well. Researchers have noticed a similar trend with many of the most powerful, industrious, and successful cities from various civilizations around the world... which is having an intricate system of canals or aqueducts. Places like greek/rome, venice, as well as angor wat in SE asia, mohenjo daro in india, tenochitlan of the Aztecs/mayans in mexico, and even in Washington DC. They all have a very advanced canal system built to transport water and boats as well as irrigate crops.
Another interesting similarity is that they were all mostly built on swampy/marshy land... where earth and water would meet.... like DC or tenochitlan used to be a swamp until these cities were built, and became swampy after the city was abandoned (if it didn't dry up like in angor wat). T
he canal system in DC is called the C&O canal and actually goes a very long way from the Chesapeake bay in Maryland up the Potomac river all the way to Ohio valley.... and ohio is another significant area where large groups of native americans lived and made large pyramid like "temple mounds", some of which still exist today like the serpent mound. The engineering for these canals seems pretty technical and clever, having to find a way to transport boats with many locks/gates to raise and lower the water level.
I wonder what other unknown history exists about these canals, and if there is any link or greater meaning between the similarities of the large canal/aqueduct systems on earth and what we see on mars. These canals were like basic terraforming, shaping the land to better suit the industrious city... and I wonder if the preference for swampy/marshy land has any greater significance to it such as Mars being swampy at one point (or even Venus actually, I could see that being a watery planet before its atmosphere changed). Hopefully we will learn more in the future.
The drawings looked very detailed,,so why dont we see them now ?
I just recently found this channel and now have watched all of the videos thus far, This is a pretty cool channel, I like how organized it is and the explanation on some of the backgrounds of all the different shall I say Monstrum Lore, Keep up the awesome videos as I’m excited to see more content 😆👌
Thanks for the support!
I LOVE this channel!!!!
Im suprised that the ice warriors from doctor who didnt get referenced.
Or the Xiliens or Alien Baltan.
2:08 looks like a advisor form half life
This channel just keeps winning and winning
I really like this team's fashion sense especially the her outfits!!
The original War Of The Worlds story by H G Wells is the greatest alien story ever!
don't forget the terrifying sounds Wells' martian tripods made.
Ulla! Aloo! Aloo! Ulla!
I read the war of the worlds the 1st part and i couldn't understand the comparitive old English but still I loved it
Super cool video! Can't wait to see what's next!!!
Orson Wells looks quite like Foggy Nelson of Netflix's Daredevil!
This video really gives me a serge of motivation and makes me think can methane based live on mars.
Just rediscovered this channel and all I have to say is:
The chances of anything coming from mars
Are a million to one, he said (ah, ah)
The chances of anything coming from Mars
Are a million to one, but still, they come
Yes the chances of anything coming from mars
Are a million to one, he said (ah, ah)
The chances of anything coming from Mars
Are a million to one, but still, they come
Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun da da da new new new da da new new
I saw the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds movie as a kid, backtracked to the book, and it's been a favorite of mine ever since. It's a great, if very thinly-veiled, commentary on British imperialism. Not nearly as topical as The Time Machine nowadays, but I find War of the Worlds more entertaining.
It was also Wells's concern over society's complacency in the face of any kind of disruption of their "little, carefully planned lives"/lives he saw as being lived by rote. By habit and class rules etc.
Dope describes my rhymes, making all you emcees cold drop like dimes. You know MCSC is back again, and battling me on the microphone is like committing a sin.
KING MCSC
Amazing video as always thank you Emily 😊
PS do a video of your bloopers 🙃
I had a chuckle at the photo at 06:19 of the "U.F.O." - turns out that the chap who photographed the ground installation accidentally double-exposed the film and shot his desk lamp. He never claimed to have seen a U.F.O., but once the photo managed to get out, well, there was no stopping it.
Bruh
a theory i had heard was that the "canals" that were observed were actually reflections of the veins within his own eye. which explains why his observations were consistent.
My favorite folk lore monster is probably the terrifying Nuckelavee - would love to see an episode on it some day! :)
thank you for this great video 😎🏆
Excellent video factual and accurate . Can't believe I've only just found is channel. I'm hooked.
I watch every other PBS channel on UA-cam, how the frack have I never heard of this amazing show?!?
Idk
0:30 the cover of the classic Misfits album "Walk Among Us"
New sub i watched your Wendigo ep first and it was handled very well.
My seventh grade English teacher played the whole recording for us. It was definitely frightening.
I think this is fascinating.
Radio...yip yip yip yip lol I loved those sesame street martians as a kid 😂
I love this series. This episode was especially interesting as it was topical (Area 51), Mars, etc.
Nod: "My God, it's full of stars" 😊
LOL! Why was Martian Manhunter the reptile example? That wasn't even his real Martian form. :D
J'onn J'onzz
The Martian Manhunter
Is the best in my opinion
Xiliens from the Godzilla movies, anyone (also, the Vortaak from the Atari/Pipeworks games)? Also, Alien Baltan, Alien Zarab, and Dada from the Ultraman series (and who can forget Alien Baltan's infamous evil laugh?)
Alien Baltan: "HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO!"
Dada: "DAA DAA DAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!"
I truly don’t know how I got here but honestly, this is incredibly interesting 🧐
you are quite riveting- marslan
A Martian once said "Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!"
Thank you for your educational videos, and your beautiful smile.
