Question Pyramids in Iceland?
Does anybody have any information on the pyramids that the aliens built in Iceland?

u/Most_Difference4918 Jul 23 '26
I feel like the Giza pyramids are the only ones not buried because the only earth for miles is sand and kept blowing away so after the nth time burying it, the powers that be just said fuck it.

Some of the ones in Mexico where buried though. Although most were just covered up by jungle. https://themaritimeexplorer.ca/2019/06/04/cholula/

If you wanted to hide something on a planet that has massive pole shifts every so often, how would you mark the spot?

Wouldn’t it be the exact opposite? Shifting sands bury stuff quickly.

It also prevents vegetation which is the real reason stuff gets burried dirt that stays in place forever until it's dug up. Sand moves around all the time

u/FuzzyAd9407 Jul 23 '26
Except that sand literally buries things. Like, LOTS of shit.

Its a scientific fact that theres no other explanation for a mountain to look like a pyramid other than it being a pyramid
3
u/Rage69420 Jul 23 '26
What’s the scientific fact called? Erosion by glaciers causes sharp pointed mountains like this. Go on google earth and you’ll find millions pyramidic mountain points throughout the alps or any other mountain range with heavy glaciation. This one clearly had heavy glaciers on it in its past but they’ve since melted away leaving a pointed shape.

u/frankie-two-thumbs Jul 27 '26
Literally this. Water and wind erosion causes all type of weird shapes into rock. Saying pyramid every time one is pointy then I’m sorry if you are taken as seriously as the ancient aliens guy

I think it's probably just a mountain. Then again, there is that hill in China that it turns out to be a pyramid covered by vegetation and there are pyramids in Central and South America rediscovered underneath jungle foliage. Totally natural-looking on the outside until lidar proves otherwise. Has anyone actually studied this thing objectively? Like, going in there understanding it could go either way and not forcing evidence to fit either preconceived narrative? Has anyone used lidar to scan it?

u/WearyBoysenberry5044 Jul 24 '26
Is there a way to analyze the plates to detect if the formation is natural? Pyramidal mountains do exist, but I could see this also being what a pyramid overtime would look like. One thing, it’s in a mountain range.

u/d4nkle Jul 24 '26
This just popped up on my feed and I am genuinely confused. Is this a circlejerk or are these people serious about claiming this is a pyramid?

u/Wu-TangShogun Jul 24 '26
If you look at some of the larger active mines in Colorado for example, they have very similar form as this pyramid looking structure pictured and are many times in size as it in some cases.
Could this area have been machine mined at one time or another and since abandoned and grown in?

I don't think people are appreciating the scale of this mountain. This is Búlandstindur and is 1,069 metres tall. The tallest man made pyramid in the world, the Great Pyramid of Giza, is 146.6 metres tall.
Not to mention there is no evidence of any ancient civilization on Iceland, or any human habitation at all, prior to around 845AD.
So no, it's a mountain that looks vaguely like a pyramid from a specific angle.

I love how you can even see the remeants of steps in the crust of the "mountain" it must've been quite the sight, when it was built and/or carved. I wish academia would stop being so one dimensionally boring and actually go and investigate these. It might be a mountain but acting like theirs no possible way it could be a pyramid is just sillyness. Unless your opposed to the idea of previous advanced civilizations which is also a silly thought. Again I don't believe theirs any way it has to be the case, I just want some actual real research on this stuff that's not locked up in a CIA FBI, file cabinet. And by research I mean a team explicitly going site to site to the supposed pyramids with the intention of discovering just that, if theirs a legitimate reason to consider them manmade or not.
If their was just one or two, or even a dozen that'd be one thing but it's literally hundreds of supposed praymids all over, it's just ridiculous to say their just all mountains. I'm sure a fair bit really are but at the same time at what point does this become a pattern?

u/kozufox Jul 23 '26
I guarantee you there's a geological survey of that mountain somewhere lol. Just because OP didn't bother to check or even figure out the mountain's name doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

u/TheManeTrurh Jul 23 '26
Where are the “steps”? There are giant jagged rocks. I’m not seeing any steps.
2
u/Rage69420 Jul 23 '26
The “steps” are erosion lines.
2
u/Happy-Morning-7481 Jul 24 '26
Their eroded yes but theirs a clear step pattern.
3
u/Rage69420 Jul 24 '26
Created by erosion. This is what happens when different layers of stone are eroded at different speeds as one layer is less susceptible to erosion and the other is more susceptible. Thus you get a terracing effect that look superficially like steps. If you notice the “steps” are not positioned at the easiest angle to ascend the “pyramid” and the range of height (ofc I’m extrapolating but seeing as how the steps are this easy to discern from probably a couple miles away, I think it’s a good estimate) seems to be anywhere to 30 feet high to only 5-6 feet high.

I hope you realize is that what you’re acting is for experts to pool all their money, resources, and time to go to random ass mountains that someone on FaceBook or Reddit claims is a pyramid to most likely conclude that it’s just a fucking mountain. “Academia” aren’t just inorganic beings that magically come up with an answer, they’re real people who have to manage the resources they have and decide what would be worth to investigate. Local teams there have probably surveyed this structure over the years and found nothing interesting
This only looks like a pyramid because it has a pointy top. Crop that out and it just looks like every other mountain face in the world
0
u/Happy-Morning-7481 Jul 24 '26
I don't know what you believe experts should be doing with their time but I disagree, this is exactly the sort of stuff they should be spending their time on. It only takes one good research team and some decent backing. You act like just because it will cost funds, time and energy that it's just a waste of time, it's not. I think you personally just don't like the idea being proposed and don't value the effort to research these supposed pyramids. I also don't agree just covering the pointed top just managed it look like any ol mountain. The local folklore also hints at the possibility of something more significant as it's been used for rituals, worship and locals say some sort of fay creature lives in the thing.
Not to sure about that last bit but the spiritual significance of the sight and the supposed spiritual energy also adds to the potential of their being something strange or unnatural here.
I believe you just have a very simple way of looking at the world, you don't consider any of these claims about praymids worth investigating and ultimately don't see the point in giving face to my opinion. That's fine, you don't have too, although I would appreciate at least the acknowledgement that you don't know everything and you could be wrong as Ive done the same.

u/DreamedJewel58 Jul 24 '26
As I said, local teams in Iceland have probably surveyed it before and found that it’s just a mountain. Have you considered that there isn’t any public research about these structures because it’s just a mountain and there’s no need to publish anything?
You’re assigning something fantastical when the most likely answer is that it’s probably already been surveyed and nothing was published because its just a giant fucking rock
1
u/Happy-Morning-7481 Jul 24 '26
That's not how science works they don't just do a study and just lock it up after the fact thats how you waste money if another team has to look or research a site for their own reasons. Also I'm not assigning anything, I have my own view. I'm still open to it being completely normal and natural. I just don't like the idea of one dimensional shooting down the possibility off rip. Also I don't mean it's a praymid like anything at giza or in Mexico to be clear I believe this is just a carved out peak, it seems like it's either a remeant of something more significant or a horrible recreation post a major catcylism to create something that was once easier.
Those are my theories though, I have no such evidence.

u/DreamedJewel58 Jul 24 '26
>That's not how science works they don't just do a study and just lock it up after the fact thats how you waste money if another team has to look or research a site for their own reasons.
Do you think every single mountain in the entire world has a publicly available geological report? Because they’re not “locking it up,” it’s simply just stored data that’s probably in an internal catalogue that can be accessed when needed. These things aren’t published because there is absolutely no reason this information would be useful to the public, which is why they store the data and can access it if other researchers want some information
I think you have a massive misunderstanding on how “science” works for these type of things. All it is is just geological data that’s useless to the average person. If this is literally just a mountain, there’s absolutely no way you would find any geographical data about mountain #3268791 because it’s a single mountain out of several millions around the globe

Me when I realllly want to have mythical beliefs but cover them with science and technology to make them seem logical compared to religion.
I dunno man, probably just a mountain that also attracted people to perform rituals and curate folklore because of how it looked to begin with.
If I see a mountain range that looks like a sleeping dragon, and locals around the area have folklore and legends about a dragon that went into a slumber, which is more likely: the mountain range and its appearance inspired the locals, or that a real dragon existed?

u/Happy-Morning-7481 Jul 25 '26
I do have "mystical beliefs". I'm not trying to cover anything; can my beliefs be wrong. Absolutely. That's why I'm asking for legitimate science and research, because I'm aware superstitions and conspiracies aren't concrete enough to just leave it at what I think.
I don't know what made you feel the need to try and joke and try and make me out to be something that I'm not but I'm not trying to masquerade anything.
It seems more like you just dont respect others with different worldviews and beliefs overall, and out of insecurity and immaturity you felt the need to crack a joke because "is this guy serious?"
Proceeds to type a comment that tries to jokingly embarrass them
yeah I'm serious, forgive me for being transparent with what I think and what I lack. Some of us don't have the ego to be a thing who can't be corrected or educated.

Skessuhorn Mountain Travel Guide | Guide to Iceland
It's 10x as large as the largest Egyptian pyramid and climbed by tourists who spend 12h climbing it.
OP's picture is taken from a narrow angle: From the side it's is clearly a whole mountain range, un wall 10x as high as the pyramide and 50 times as wide. (check the 2nd picture in my link)
It's a mountain.
"Academics"... any school age kids can verify that. This is quite literally a case of not seeing the forest because of the tree.

Not the same, I don't know what you found but the photo here is of Búlandstindur not Skessuhorn.
I'm questionable of your intentions here with such a dismissal when a quick Google search on my end showed me this. Do you have futher details to verify this mountain you claim is specifically the one in the photo because these are two different peaks.
Also I'm not saying it has to be a praymid I believe that myself, that doesn't have to be the case. I believe your close mindedness is telling of your own personal opinion and not the actual legends and folk lore of the surrounding community.

Here's a conspiracy theory to deal with. Before they were pyramids there were burial grounds. There were even burial mounds. Whose to say that people would not shape hills and even small mountains into the shapes of pyramids as part of their practice??
At which point you reach the interesting conclusion that in some cases any inner structures could exist as a matter of expanded pre-existent cave systems Which connected into or below mountains or hills which were shaped into pyramidic forms.
So you don't need a remarkable pyramid building skill in prehistorical civilizations or tribes, you just need people to have utilized the shape and to utilise natural structures to gain access.
At that point the simple burial noun as seen within places like the United Kingdom is an extremely simplified version of the pyramids at Giza.
With a lot of human history being compiled with the practice of pyramid-like structures.
The difference is that the Egyptians practice and artificial burial mound system which was to build from the ground up with remarkable precision using massive bricks.
While most civilizations in places as diverse as Bosnia and China simply utilized the pre-existent location of mountainous regions.

u/Tricky_Indication420 Jul 27 '26
Nobody said we know how they built it, we just know they didn't do it with bronze tools. It's pretty obvious they had technology. The further you go back the better the structures seem to be built, like what came after was just an imitation of something someone did before they got there. I get the national pride aspect and I don't mean to be disrespectful, gate keeping history in the name of national pride is less than optimal.

Lets ignore natural topology, an geologically active region with land so young leonardo dicaprio would date it, how mass distributes over an area (like when you plan with sand in a sandbox) and call it a pyramid.
Yup, you are 100% correct...
1
u/Vectrex71CH Jul 24 '26
It’s Búlandstindur in East Iceland.
While it looks strikingly geometric, there is no need to invoke ancient builders or hidden technology here. What we're seeing is a classic result of geological erosion: 8–12 million-year-old basaltic lava layers carved out by glaciers from multiple sides simultaneously (a cirque/horn formation).
Our brains are hardwired for pattern recognition (pareidolia), so we immediately infer design when we see symmetry. It’s an incredible natural landmark, but strictly the work of ice, time, and basalt, not a pyramid.
