“I’ve got an interesting discovery on Mars that is going to rock archaeology,” Scott said in a YouTube video about the find.

“There is an Ancient Egyptian tomb of sorts carved into the side of this mountain on Mars.

“Are ancient Egyptians from Mars? Did they then move to Egypt? Egypt is very similar in appearance and weather to that of Mars. No other place on Earth looks much like Mars.”

As well as the “sarcophagus”, Scott claims to have found carvings of faces, unfinished statues and “alien technology” that he thinks was left behind by Martians.

“Isn’t this just amazing, it really looks like an Egyptian tomb carved into the side of a Mars mountain,” he said.

“To also deduce that it is ‘Egyptian’ and that it was created by beings who later came to Earth – where they presumably brought their skills to building the pyramids – is an even bigger stretch of the imagination that takes us into the world of fantasy rather than fact.”

The find is more likely the result of pareidolia, a bizarre effect which causes the brain to see shapes, structures and patterns where they do not exist.

According to Nasa: “Pareidolia is the psychological phenomenon where people see recognizable shapes in clouds, rock formations, or otherwise unrelated objects or data.
