 
- The Egyptian capital Cairo, situated adjacent to Giza, derives its name from Al Qahira denoting Mars (more literally it means "the victorious")
- The ancient Egyptians called Mars "Horus of the Horizon" (Horakhti), the same name given to the Great Sphinx
- Mars was also called "Horus the Red" (Hor Dshr), and for a long time the Sphinx was painted red
- Just as the Great Sphinx is the hybrid of man and a lion, in ancient Hindu myths Mars is Nr-Simha, the "Man-Lion"
- The term "pyramid" derives from the Greek term pyr meaning 'fire', as in Mars the "fire planet" (Mars is often referred to as pyroeis in Greek)
The Great Sphinx is also an equinox marker, aligning with the sunrise on those days every year. Tellingly the equinoxes were very Martian in 2014:
