[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I still remember the scientific claim there were CANALS on Mars, and submerged cities off the coast of Peru.

How things suddenly change and the old claims are covered up so fast you now have to dig to find them, and even then, people will not believe such claims were ever made in the first place.

It was originally meant to be ‘channels,’ probably a distinction without a difference, Anyway, looking at the fuzzy image of Mars available to us at the time, ‘science’ made no claims about their beings canals or not. Speculate and claim are not synonymous.
