Myth of Martians

The "Myth of Martians" refers to the popular belief that Mars is inhabited by intelligent extraterrestrial beings. This idea gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, fueled by speculative observations, such as apparent surface features resembling canals. However, scientific investigations have found no evidence of life or advanced civilizations on Mars. The myth persists in science fiction and popular culture, but current scientific consensus is that Mars, while historically having conditions that could support life, is currently uninhabited by any form of intelligent life.
