Pretty weird article. Just on the title alone:

- 'Mysterious': there's very little of substance in the article to advance the position that it is mysterious at all.

- 'Sacred': OK, I guess!

- 'Pyramid': "A fourth explanation — one for which there is no evidence — is that Cerro El Cono sits on the ruins of a pyramid built by ancient Indigenous tribes". So... no evidence then :)

- 'Hidden': "It rises steeply from the relatively flat jungle landscape of eastern Peru, making it visible from as far west as the Andes — 250 miles (400 kilometers) away — on a clear day."






I'm no expert, but it seems like the bottom of the pyramid has what looks like natural rock formation, seems like that wouldn't be possible if it was man made ?

New to the internet?

New to people on the internet gaining pointless cred for wasting time and typing up pointless critiques on pointless articles?

No cred gained here :) I was just surprised by the low quality of the article and there were no other comments by the time I got here so I thought I'd write this short critique to warn others, but I think it came across as a shallow dismissal so it didn't add much.
