I haven't seen the video yet, so I can't comment on it. This looks like a very interesting post, so I'm going to savor it.

Interesting topic, but probably belongs in "ancient & lost civilizations"?

I love the topic and the premise. I watched all the videos. However, I’m not seeing anything in them, that doesn’t look like natural geological formations.
But the mountains show their artificiality, in their sizes and shapes, being WAY TOO CONSISTENT, for natural mountains.
Apparently it just comes down to CLIMATE, whether such ancient pyramids are preserved perfectly in the dry desert (Egypt), whereas in MOST PLACES, the same structures will apparently accumulate sediment and soil, and grow greenery over it.

It's absurd though, because there was nothing particularly interesting about the specific banned footage of that shrimp. It was basically stock-footage of the creature, and completely separate from the specific banned bits, there is still plenty of fair-use footage that I could still use, no problem. In fact, my vid still has the best video clips of the thing.
First of all, China does have real pyramids and hills that look like pyramids, so when talking about "pyramids in China" we could be talking about any of those.
No, they do not show any artificiality.
Some of the Egyptian pyramids were under sand and uncovered when found. Probably some are yet to be found.
The Central American pyramids, having been built in a completely different climate, got covered in vegetation, so we do have examples of what happens in those cases, like in the photo below.
Now, if we look at the "pyramids" in the video we can see that some start on top of others, like hills do. Although possible, I have never seen a building starting on top of another.
Another thing about the "pyramids" in the video: erosion. Wind and rain would remove (or not allow) enough soil to build on the top of a pyramid (you can see that the top of the Central American pyramids is visible), so the top should have less vegetation than the rest of "pyramid", but we do not see that.
Nothing in the images from China shows signs or artificiality, at least to someone that knows a little about geology.

Being stock-footage is probably the reason it is not allowed, as it was sold for use in the original video and you do not have a licence to use it.

Rather, many buried pyramids just REMAIN buried, and then become considered as nature.
Here's the buried temple known as the LARGEST temple in the world. In Puebla, Mexico.
The hill is the buried pyramid.
The whole idea is that there's thousands of years of soil accumulated / piled over it. The dirt will spill over the different shapes.
No, not really how it works. There's such a thing as buried temples / pyramids / structures which actually DO remain buried, I think Puebla, MX is possibly the best example.
So no, we can't just imagine that we know about how erosion would keep the top of a pyramid clear. We don't know that, and there are plenty examples of actual buried stuff that remains buried.
It's not rocket-science either, thousands of years' accumulation forms layers of soil, it grows plants and trees.
Did you actually know about the Puebla, MX hill / buried temple? It seems to contradict your assumptions about geology, erosion, and your imagination that the tops of buried pyramids are going to be bald rock...
