The face of a god, a scurrying mouse, a lounging iguana and now a sarcophagus have all, according to some, been spotted on Mars.

Alien hunters have stumbled upon a new site on the red planet that they believe is an ancient alien burial ground.

The object, which 'is awfully close to what Egyptians use to encase mummies in after death', was found lying among the rubble on Mars in a photo sent back to Earth by the Curiosity rover.

Alien hunters have stumbled upon a new siting on the red planet that they believe is a site of an ancient alien burial ground. The object, which 'is awfully close to what Egyptians use to encase mummies in after death', was found lying among the rubble on Mars in a photo sent back to Earth by the Curiosity Rover.

'Something remarkable has been found in a Mars rover photo,' explained YouTuber Mister Enigma.

'If we zoom into this Nasa image taken by the Curiosity Rover, we will see what appears to be some kind of sarcophagus lying on the edge of a cliff.'

'It is awfully close to what Egyptians use to encase mummies in after death.'

If you squint while looking at the close up and think of a mummy's sarcophagus you can actually make out the details of what looks like the coffin for an ancient Egyptian.

The same video also suggests there is more hiding in the rocks above the resting place of the ancient alien.

'Another strange thing about this is that in another photo taken a few moments later in the same area, there are what looks like two faces carved on the side of the cliff facing the area of the sarcophagus,' explained Mister Enigma.
