Is Gunung Padang a 27,000 Year Old Man-Made Pyramid? Analysis, Controversy and Response!

Ойын-сауық

In October of 2023, a remarkable peer-reviewed paper was published in the journal Archaeological Prospection, citing evidence that the ancient site of Gunung Padang, located in Indonesia, is in fact a man-made and substantial pyramid like structure, with large subterranean chambers and periods of sophisticated construction activity dating back an astonishing 27,000 years. If true, this would make Gunung Padang the oldest pyramid known, dating back well into the last glacial maximum, and make it a significant driver for a re-evaluation of the history of human civilization.
Based on years of on-site work by Indonesian Geologist Danny Hillman Natawidjaja, using techniques including carbon dating, core drilling, trenching, ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity tomography and seismic tomography, the paper generated a skeptical, if not outright visceral response from the archaeological community. In this video we get into the details of the discoveries made at Gunung Padang, and dive into the response it generated. Is this site a smoking gun for evidence of unknown ancient and sophisticated civilizations? Or is there validity to the skepticism and rebuttals that came as response to the peer-reviewed paper?

    As a former Metrologist, it's a shame to see there are people in this world that can't permit real science from taking place simply because of their egos. Those "archeologists" that essentially slandered the author in their peer reviews are disgusting. I couldn't imagine injecting politics or feelings into science. In Metrology that kind of attitude can have catastrophic consequences that could result in mission failure, equipment failure, inconsistenties in manufacturing, or even people getting hurt or killed. Looks like you're doing your best to expose those cowards. Even if it's just one step at a time.

    One interesting aspect of Gunung Padang is its name, which in Sundanese and Javanese, two languages commonly used on the island of Java, translates to "bright mountain" or "mountain of light" (gunung = mountain, padhang = bright, light). Although until now there has been no in-depth study of this, the name might be connected to the site's importance for the people in the area. Additionally, it's worth noting that in Malay, the lingua franca of Nusantara (the Malay/Indonesian archipelago), the word "padang" means "field," while "gunung" holds the same meaning in Malay, Sundanese and Javanese.

    Geologist here on the fence. Although appearing anthropogenic, I am wanting to keep the possibility of a natural mechanism for Unit 2, e.g. could there be a sorting and horizontal stacking of columns in an earthquake prone region. The clean edge would appear to eliminate that hypothesis. Definitely warrants excavation (though I’m sure extremely difficult) to hopefully nail that question down. Anthropogenic origins of Units 3a and 3b would appear to be a stretch. I don’t dismiss the possibility of anthropogenic voids from the surface geophysical data, but such data are generally pretty wonky. Again possible anthropogenic voids warrant excavation. As in all things, DB politicians and frightened academics rule all in this domain. I like to see the bridge between geology and archaeology that this tenacious researcher has done. I don’t believe that most archaeologists recognize the profound nature of the Younger Dryas, since they simply repeat to themselves, “if there were earlier civilizations, we would have found something.” YD was an eraser on the chalkboard, eradicating all but the most difficult to remove chalk remnants.

    the secrecy and prevention of archaeological excavation at the site already suggests it's man made and hides answers to many questions they don't want us to know, and it definitely looks like it's man made. i'm not too sure about the definition "pyramid" though - as I see it a pyramid should be symmetrical to match the geometrical description of the symbol, which sites such as gunung padang and (definitely) yonaguni monument are not. referring to them as pyramids creates a wrong type of mysticism and implications around these sites when the fact remains that we just don't know what they were.

What a shame that attempts to explore hidden chambers that could contain priceless artifacts or information about truly ancient times have been blocked. Perhaps that exploration scares those dedicated not to the actual practice of science but fear exposure of long accepted dogma regarding our timeline. Such exploration could hardly cause significant damage to a site which is already so disturbed by eons of efforts by succeeding civilizations and nature itself. Why let it continue to degrade by erosion and time without taking advantage of this technology and this opening to learn something tryly revelatory and fascinating for the benefit of all mankind.

It doesn't make sense to me that modern humans have been around hundreds of thousands of years (some say millions) and only within the last 10,000 years we've just now had the ability to create society

    Schermer was initially quite skeptical but his position evolved due to a preponderance of the evidence. he now asserts a different story concerning the neolithic revolution and the age of complex human cultures. this is admirable. no one should be easily swayed but instead remain prudent, lest we blow with whatever wind happens at the time

    This was the most informative video, of Gunung Padang, that I have watched so far. I truly hope, excavation will be allowed to continue, without the politics, that are always associated, with finds, that make the teaching of the old paradigm, more difficult. This was really, an excellent, scientific report you presented here. Thanks for putting this together, Ben.

    Have they ever given even one piece of physical evidence of a lost civilization? Nope, all they do is give an excuse to why they think these ancients couldn't do anything, it sad and taking credit away from the civilizations that did amazing things, do you know how sad that is? And you believe it with no evidence

    When they lost 32000 liters of water while drilling, does that mean they accidentally flooded one of the underground chambers? Maybe that’s what the archeologists mean when they say “it shouldn’t be done this way”

    The archeologists don’t believe there’s anything there. This is standard for geological surveys but the archeologists are more concerned about the stability of the structure you can see. They don’t care about the theoretical structures below.

We are talking about the ORIGINAL foundations, and not about what has been built later on top. Gunung Padang's most probable original age? Between 240ky and 350ky, probability close to 100%.

    I would trust the Carbon dating more if he conducted comparable test around what he claims the structure to be, a number without context is meaningless. That the dating for the deeper soil is older would make sense wither way, a set of control tests are needed. The claim is bigger then the science for this site.

    @@steveo5295 This could have had an East - West orientation before the 12,000 yr pole shift. Well, Hapgood suggested it was only the crust that slipped. However, The volcanic island chain of Hawaii which is over a hot magma plum is older than 12,000 yr. So maybe the shift is of the whole planet. The good news (or bad news if one isn’t prepared) is that it is soon to happen again and hopefully this time someone will take notes and photographs for posterity and future civilizations.

    I'd love to see a general compilation of most buried shore sites under water. We already know the ocean levels were much lower 10,000 years ago, and this would help lock in corner pieces for a general timeline. LiDAR can scan sea floors up to 300meters. We need to do more of that. It would also explain more how people travelled back then and unlock new theories the bigger the structures we find. At this point already I think we can put the mainstream narrative of the "original" construction of the giza pyramids being only 3,000 years old to rest. I wish there was more funding for these projects. Come on Elon, get into ocean exploration. Call it SeaX with a very transparent "a" for the meme.

    If they have drilled holes deep enough to identify underground chambers based on the drill resistance what is stopping them from dropping a camera with a light down the holes to take a look. Plumbers use snake cameras to identify blockages in sewer drains. Why can’t they use a longer version of this technology to see inaccessible areas of excavation sites to get real proof to see if a full excavation would be worth while?

    Gunung Padang is the tip of the iceberg. SE Asia is covered with megalithic sites. I’m preparing to tour the Plain of Jars in northern Laos, then on to the Naka (Naga) caves in Thailand, all close together, then other sites further south. What interests me is that the remaining lids on the jars have animal figures identical to what can be found on islands in Indonesia. Pre Younger Dryas that area was all dry land. A continuous civilisation all the way south

    You should issue an update in the description of this video and the comments regarding your "remarkable peer-reviewed paper" that is used as evidence, as it was retracted from its journal for numerous errors, chiefly that the radiocarbon dating was applied to non-manmade substances. As much as people here want to portray archaeologists as bumbling fools afraid of the 'real truth' there is simply no evidence at all that Gunung Padang is a 27,000 year old pyramid and no evidence that there are "hidden chambers" inside that hill. Potholer54 did a great video on Gunung Padang and the Ancient Apocalypse documentary showing why these claims are faulty if anyone is interested.
