Beneath the pristine snow cover of the Antarctic continent, a mysterious pyramid-shaped structure towers above the ice, causing global shock. Located beneath the Ellsworth Mountains and clearly visible through satellite imagery of Google Earth, the building has inspired numerous conspiracy theories and imaginations.
Ancient pyramids are often associated with Egypt, Sudan, Mexico, etc., and are known for their grandeur and mystery. Therefore, the discovery of such a structure in Antarctica has attracted widespread attention. However, it is crucial to distinguish truth from fiction.
The latest Google Earth images have deepened people's curiosity. The structure resembles a pinnacle with the tip jutting out of an ice sheet. But is it a relic of an ancient civilization or the work of aliens?
Professor Eric Rignot, an expert in earth system science, explained that it is just a mountain, which happens to be shaped like a pyramid, and that not all peaks have a complete pyramid form.
According to geological consensus, the pyramid-like flanks of the mountain were formed by erosion over hundreds of millions of years. Dr. Mitch D'Arcy of the German Geoscience Research Center points out that it is normal for such structures to be located in the Ellsworth Mountains, where they are rocky peaks on the ice. This similarity is more of a coincidence.
This unnamed mountain towers over the coordinates 79°58'39.25"S 81°57'32.21"W and is located in an area known as the "Heritage Mountains". There is no shortage of historical wonders and ancient fossils. While this 4,150-foot-tall "pyramid" may not be conspicuous among other mountain ranges, its mystery is still striking.
Professor Maurie Perto of Nichols College said the conspiracy theories surrounding the mountain could prompt people to learn Xi and explore.
While this "pyramid" in Antarctica sparks curiosity and speculation, it is a testament to the diversity and complexity of the planet's natural wonders. This mountain range is not only a testament to the changing landscape of the planet, but also a symbol of Antarctica's natural beauty and mystery.
