In the year 2047, the Ares IV mission touched down on the slopes of Olympus Mons, the tallest mountain in the solar system. What began as a standard geological survey turned into the greatest archeological discovery in human history.
Beneath layers of basalt and ancient volcanic rock, astronauts uncovered a sealed chamber. It's entrance hidden for millenia. Inside were 2,000 relics arranged with meticulous precision. Each artifact was geometric in form: pyramids, prisms, interlocking angles, alien yet eerily deliberate.
They were made of a metallic composite unknown to earth science, immune to decay, radiation, and time. When the astronauts brought them back, the world realized Mars had not always been silent.

They were made of a metallic composite unknown to earth science, immune to decay, radiation, and time. When the astronauts brought them back, the world realized Mars had not always been silent.
Decades of analysis revealed a truth that shattered astronomy textbooks: MARS WAS ONCE ALIVE.
Millenia before humans looked to the stars, the Maras, an advanced civilization, had thrived there. Their mastery of mathematics, metallurgy, and architecture far surpassed anything on earth at the time.
The artifacts, it turned out, were not art. They were KEYS. CODES. LOCKS. Some appeared to resonate faintly when exposed to radiation, others aligned perfectly with Martian constellations that no longer exist.
The artifacts hinted at a civilization not just advanced, but cosmic in scope. A species that sought to control dimensions, light, and time itself.
The artifacts now reside in secure research vaults around the world. Classified reports leaked to the public, and soon collectors, philosophers, and scientists alike began reffering to them by a haunting name:
"ARTIFACTS OF A BROKEN UNIVERSE"
They are seen as the final testimony of a civilization that reached too far, a cosmic mirror of our own trajectory.

To this day, the artifacts defy complete explanation. Their geometric patterns seem to encode more than aesthetics. Some believe they contain mathematical warnings, star maps, or dimensional locks that humanity is not yet ready to open.
Every artifact is unique. Every artifact is irreplaceable. And every artifact is a reminder: Civilizations do not end when they are forgotten. They end when they forget themselves.
