It's a stretch to call this place a pyramid, and no, the entire mountain wasn't hand-built. It's an existing basalt mountain, covered in those distinctive hexagonal basalt columns. It was terraced by hand over many years, and being a mountain it is wider at the base and narrower at the top, but you'd be hard-pressed to find specific angles and faces that could define a pyramid. Graham Hancock is behind the idea that this is a pyramid, as part of his moronic theory that there was an advanced, world-spanning civilization before the last Ice Age, who taught all the emerging civilizations around the globe how to stack rocks, because they were too stupid to figure that out themselves.Even in the Atlas Obscura article, they admit it's a natural hill "sculpted into a pyramid shape," except that it's not a pyramid shape.
