- **Controversy**:
- Most geologists and archaeologists argue that these are natural formations of layered sedimentary hills, composed of layers of conglomerate, clay, and sandstone formed millions of years ago due to tectonic activity, erosion, and sediment deposition.
- The claim has been largely dismissed by most scientists as pseudoscience, pointing out that there's no archaeological evidence of human construction, like tools, pottery, inscriptions, or other signs of a civilization advanced enough to construct pyramids.
- Critics highlight issues like the complete lack of carbon remains, unnatural features alleged by Osmanagic but unexplained by archaeology, and that the dating of the structures would require a technology far beyond what is known for that potential time period.
