New evidence suggests Indonesia’s Gunung Padang could be world’s oldest known pyramid​

Gunung Padang, a colossal megalithic structure nestled in the lush landscapes of West Java, Indonesia, could be the world’s oldest pyramid. Recent research suggests that this ancient site may predate Egypt’s famous pyramids and is even older than the stone wonders of Türkiye’s Göbekli Tepe.
A team of archaeologists, geophysicists, geologists, and paleontologists affiliated with multiple institutions in Indonesia has found evidence showing that Gunung Padang is the oldest known pyramid in the world.

The group describes their multi-year study of the cultural heritage site in their article published in the interdisciplinary archeology journal Archaeological Prospection in October.
Gunung Padang, also known as the “mountain of enlightenment”, sits at the top of an extinct volcano and is considered a sacred site by locals. In 1998, Gunung Padang was declared a national cultural heritage site.
Led by geologist Danny Hilman Natawidjaja and his team at Indonesia’s National Research and Innovation Agency, the new research suggests that Gunung Padang dates back to the last Ice Age, around 25,000 to 14,000 years ago.

The oldest construction of the pyramid likely “originated as a natural lava hill before being sculpted and then architecturally enveloped”, according to the team. This makes Gunung Padang at least 16,000 years old.
The pyramid was finished between 2,000 BC and 1,100 BC, according to the study.

For this new study, the research team conducted a long-term, scientific study of the structure. Over the years 2011 to 2015, they studied the structure using seismic tomography, electrical resistivity tomography and ground-penetrating radar. They also drilled down into the hill and collected core samples that allowed them to use radiocarbon dating techniques to learn the ages of the layers that make up the hill.

In studying all their data, the research team found what they describe as clear evidence showing that the Gunung Padang was made mostly by human hands. The also found evidence showing that the structure was built in stages, thousands of years apart. And, they found that the older parts of the structure were made sometime between 25,000 and 14,000 years ago, making it the oldest known pyramid in the world today.

More specifically, the researchers found evidence of several efforts that together over time, added up to a completed structure. The first consisted of sculpted lava—where builders had carved shapes onto the top of a small, dead volcano.

Then, several thousand years later, sometime between 7900 to 6100 BCE, another group added a layer of bricks and rock columns. Some unknown time later, another group added a dirt layer to part of the hill, covering some of the earlier work. Then sometime between 2000 and 1100 BCE yet another group added more top soil, stone terracing, and other elements.

The research team has also found some evidence suggesting there might be some hollow parts inside the structure, suggesting possible hidden chambers. They plan to drill down to them and then lower a camera to see what might be in these areas.
 


But this AMDK LimPeh very angry....say Indon has a fake pyramid de woh


Why hah?

This angry AMDK L8mPeh Professor should quickly go there and destroy all evidence before Indon gov decide to sponsor a dig
 
In a research paper published in the journal Archaeological Prospection, geologist Danny Hilman of Indonesia’s National Research and Innovation Agency writes that earlier researchers assumed the structure had been built “between several hundred and a couple of thousand BCE,” in line with similar structures elsewhere in Asia.



Hilman brought a variety of techniques to bear on the site, which was first discovered (or better to say rediscovered) in 1890. He has long espoused the site’s extreme age — an article in the Sydney Morning Herald from 10 years ago lays out his claims, and the counter-claims of detractors — but he says his latest measurements will stand up to any scrutiny.
 
During the ice age it was said, you could almost walk all the way to austraLia. I am sure, many wonders of the world eventually got submerged under the sea.

At one time, some choink said there was a lost city in jiu hu Jungle. But nobody could find it.

I am surprised the Indon has not emulate jiuhu official way to handle this site, as it is certainly not a islamic site.

Indon has a better way to show greatness of their empire vs some jiuhu small minds
 
I hope Malay will understand a Chinese phase...你的心有多大，天下就有多大
 


Similar unexplainable ancient site at China QingHai
