NASA Denies Finding Human Bone on Mars

There are plenty of odd-shaped rocks littering the dusty, barren landscape of Mars. But, according to The Metro, one thing that isn't up there are human bones.

There are a few reports emerging at the moment over what looks like a human femur lying casually on the surface of the Red Planet. In fact, this was a picture snapped way back in 2014 by NASA's Curiosity rover.

However, it's now resurfaced over the internet as some kind of 'proof' that creatures once walked the surface of Mars.

NASA itself even took the time to debunk this theory six years ago.

Seen by Mars rover Curiosity using its MastCam, this Mars rock may look like a femur thigh bone.

Mission science team members think its shape is likely sculpted by erosion, either wind or water,' a spokesperson for the space agency wrote in a blog post.

"If life ever existed on Mars, scientists expect that it would be small simple life forms called microbes. Mars likely never had enough oxygen in its atmosphere and elsewhere to support more complex organisms. Thus, large fossils are not likely," he added.

The Saudi Ministry of Sport has announced the signing of contracts with several local and international companies to manage, operate, and develop the construction of two hotels within King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah.

The project involves the construction of two world-class hotels built to the highest engineering standards, offering integrated services tailored to meet the needs of visitors, tourists, and sports delegations and supporting the Kingdom’s capacity to host major international sporting events, SPA reported.

Spanning approximately 16,000 square meters, the project will feature a dedicated fan zone, health and fitness clubs, swimming pools, international restaurants, retail outlets, athlete-specific facilities, and conference and event halls.

It is part of the ministry’s commitment to increasing private sector participation in the development of sports infrastructure and aligns with the broader objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 by fostering a modern, dynamic environment within the Kingdom’s sports cities.
