Location: South Mars, 2 kilometre from the west side of Valles Marineris.

Date built: March 2061

Date finished: December 2062

Information: A copy of the Great pyramids in Egypt, the Great pyramid of Mars is composed of 2,300,000 blocks of stone, each averaging 2.5 tons in weight. It is 230 metres long on each side and 137metres high.

 
   
 

Eiffel Tower

Location: North Mars, near Mazrimè

Date built: December 26 1887

Date finished: March 31 1889

Information: Being one of the two Earth artefacts relocated to Mars it seems impossible for anything to have lifted this 324m tall structure and dragged it all the way to Mars. The metal structure alone of this tower weighs 7,300 tons and altogether it weighs 10,100 tons.

 
   
 

Borobudur Temple

The famous Buddhist temple is built in three layers - a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, a cone with three circular platforms and at the top, a monumental stupa. The walls and balustrades are decorated with bas-reliefs, covering a total surface of 2,500 square metres. Around the circular platform are seventy-two openwork stupas, each containing a statue of Buddha.


 
   
 

Valles Marineris

Location: South Mars

Depth: 10km

Length: 4000km long

Information: Since discovery of Valles Marineris, the method of their formation has been a nagging puzzle. The canyons do not form a well integrated drainage system; some are completely closed depressions, and lateral transport by wind or water would be considerably impeded. Now, however, the new evidence of faulting suggests that most negative relief results from subsidence. Low, straight scarps, which apparently indicate downward subsidence of canyon floors along faults, cut across erosional features on many canyon walls. Similar scale faulting occurs on Earth: in East Africa the continental crust is in tension across large rift valleys. Erosion of the Valles Marineris walls apparently continued into the recent past, so the crustal tension causing the faulting within the canyons may also have been a relatively recent phenomenon.


 
   
 

Olympus Mons

Location: North Mars, just north of the equator

Height: 24km

Information: Volcanic activity on Mars has produced huge mountains and volcanoes; the largest of these is Olympus Mons which is 16 kilometers higher than Earth’s 8 kilometer tall Mount Everest.

 
   
 

Statue of Liberty

Date dedicated: October 28 1886

Pieces: 350 pieces packed in 214 crates

Information: The Statue of Liberty National Monument officially celebrated her 100th birthday on October 28, 1986. The people of France gave the Statue to the people of the United States over one hundred years ago in recognition of the friendship established during the American Revolution. Over the years, the Statue of Liberty has grown to include freedom and democracy as well as this international friendship. Later it was sent to Mars as a sign of Interplanetary friendship and became the second Earth artifact on Mars. It was chosen as the gift from Earth because already represented a great friendship. Unfortunately several dust storms have buried this statue.
