Cerro El Cono, a 1,310-foot-tall pyramid-shaped formation in Peru's Sierra del Divisor National Park, has sparked debate over its origins. While scientists consider it a natural geological formation, local Indigenous tribes revere it as a sacred mountain spirit. Legends suggest it could be built on an ancient pyramid, possibly from a civilization that predates the Inca Empire. If confirmed as man-made, it could surpass the Great Pyramid of Giza in height, challenging perceptions about ancient civilizations in the Amazon and their architectural capabilities.
Scientists believe the giant hill known as Cerro El Cono is just a geological oddity, but local Indigenous tribes see it as a sacred spirit.
Unlike other mountains, Cerro El Cono's steep pyramid shape, with distinct flat surfaces, raises speculation that it might not be a natural formation.
