The most terrifying thing we could actually find on Mars? Ruins of an ancient proto-human civilisation that had reached a similar level of technological advancement to our own.

I think the worst would be that they were one or two steps ahead, suggesting that the Great Filter is ahead of us.

I was thinking the implication would be that we have already reached the filter without understanding it, and our destruction is imminent.
