Mysterious pyramids in China have become the subject of controversy among conspiracy theorists and scientists

Experts said that the structures were not made by human hands.

The recent discovery of several mountain peaks has caused a stir on the Internet. Experts have said that Chinese mountain pyramids are natural formations and not man-made structures.

According to the Global Times, the pyramid-shaped mountain peaks in southwest China are considered natural formations.

However, speculation about the origins of the strange rock formations has been circulating online, with some suggesting they are prototypes for actual pyramids, while others claim they are natural formations or even ancient tombs. However, experts have weighed in on the issue, urging against over-interpretation.

Geographer Zhou Qiuwen explained that these rock formations are natural phenomena and attributed their pyramidal shape to the complex work of nature.

When asked in an interview with Eyes News about the layered characteristics of the rocks at the “pyramids”, Zhou explained that the rocks at Anlong are limestone formations over 200 million years old, dating back to the Early and Middle Triassic period. These rocks formed in a marine environment, with minerals dissolved in water recrystallizing to form the distinct layers seen today due to periodic changes in climate and geology.

Regarding the conical shape of the mountains, Zhou explained that the region’s karst topography is subject to vertical erosion by water. Continued erosion in the upper layers and less in the lower layers lead to the sharp tops and wide bases characteristic of the pyramid shape.

Regarding the blocky features of rocks that resemble man-made structures, the scientist said that geological processes in landscapes can dissolve layered rocks into smaller blocks that resemble man-made structures. Small cracks in the rocks allow water to slowly erode them, creating segmented, block-like formations rather than dissolving completely.
