Speculation has intensified following the sighting of a mysterious formation beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, fueling the rumor mill.
It’s not merely a geometric shape; purportedly, it’s a pyramid.
I lack expertise in science, but constructing a pyramid in an uninhabitable area for millennia seems implausible.
Unless, of course, penguins possess unforeseen intelligence?
While that’s unlikely, it raises the question: Who could have built it?
Many have been pondering the discovery ever since satellite images revealed a massive pyramid-shaped structure nestled within Antarctica’s Ellsworth Mountain range in the southern region. The intrigue commenced when peculiar peaks emerged in the area, notably one resembling the dimensions of the Great Pyramid of Giza, spanning 2 kilometers at its base.
The internet erupted with speculation upon learning of this enigmatic find, fueled further by Antarctica’s inhospitable climate, which deters prolonged human presence.
Following the emergence of images of the pyramids, individuals promptly began disseminating their theories regarding these structures.
Diverse viewpoints surfaced, including one from a user identified as X, who proposed: “This architectural marvel is attributed to the pre-flood civilization, estimated to have thrived approximately 10,000 years ago when Antarctica experienced warmer climates.”
Another commenter simply stated: “Confirmed: Illuminati involvement.”
Additionally, a query arose: “Hold on, how was the transportation of the pyramids from Egypt to Antarctica accomplished?”
Antarctica has once again sparked intrigue, with Google Earth users recently spotting what seemed like a ship on an iceberg, sending the internet into a frenzy.
However, before delving too deeply into speculation, there’s another explanation for the purported pyramid: it’s not a pyramid at all.
Following the spread of rumors about the structure, Professor Eric Rignot, a geologist at Irvine, addressed the issue with CBS to clarify. Despite its appearance resembling a pyramid with distinct peaks, Rignot explained, “This is simply a mountain that bears a resemblance to a pyramid.”
It appears that the ‘pyramid’ is actually a characteristic feature of glaciated regions known as a ‘pyramidal peaked mountain,’ formed through the convergence of glaciers on the sides of an existing landmass.
Rignot, who specializes in Earth system science at the University of California, elaborated, “Pyramid shapes are not unheard of—many peaks partially resemble pyramids, but they typically exhibit one to two faces resembling that shape, seldom four.”
Dr. Mitch Darcy, a geologist at the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, explained to IFLScience that the pyramid-shaped formations are situated in the Ellsworth Mountains, a range extending over 400km. Consequently, rocky peaks protruding above the ice are not unexpected.
He emphasized that these peaks are unmistakably composed of natural rock formations, dismissing any notion of human construction. Describing them as nunataks—a term for peaks of rock emerging above glaciers or ice sheets—he clarified that the pyramid shape observed in one of these peaks is merely coincidental and not a unique occurrence.
Dr. Darcy pointed out that other pyramid-shaped mountains, such as Mount Búlandstindur in Iceland and Bordoyarnes Mountain in the Faroe Islands, further support this perspective.
In the end, there wasn’t anything worth celebrating.
