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?
