In the Southwest, that's call a mesa. That "flat top", was once the uppermost layer of rock that has been eroded over the eons into the buttes and canyons and fantastic shapes that you see here. The harder the rock layer, the longer it withstands the power of erosion while the softer layers wear away. Anyway, this formation just looks like it was shaped with human hands in so may ways, a temple a fortress all the different bits. Could be called the Acropolis or something! Thanks for the comment, Larry!
