There is enough evidence to suggest it is more than a hill. I was there for a 2 week volunteer program but I must return to investigate further.
Tiled terraces and a hill shaped like a pyramid
I assume that both so-said "pyramid of the sun" and "pyramid of the moon" are natural hills including curious but natural features.
The so-said "pyramid of the moon" is a hill based upon two lage circular features. A part of its front slope was shaped as terraces supported by some low walls, certainly for farming, as everywhere in the world.
What is confusing is that some places show regular kinds of pavements. But as they are multiple and each laying over the other, separated by natural ground, with no trace of human action, I assume that they are a natural curiosity. This opinion is reinforced by the fact that same layers of same schist stone can be observed in neighbouring quarries, where there is no "pyramid".
I believe that even before archeologists, geologists would say if these pavements are natural or made by man, ancient or... quite recent.
Also see the Megalithic Portal's site listing for the 'Pyramid of the Sun' for more complete information on these hills, the alternative archaeological theory proposed for them, and what our correspondents have found at the site.
