Gunung Padang Megalithic Site

Gunung Padang is a megalithic site located in Karyamukti, Campaka, Cianjur Regency, West Java, Indonesia, 30 kilometres southwest of the regency seat or 8 kilometres from Lampegan station. The site is built of earth and stone at the top of an extinct volcano. It has become famous due to controversial carbon dating results which, if they had been confirmed, would suggest that construction began as far back as 20,000 BCE. In 2013 the geologist suggesting these dates, Danny Hilman Natawidjaja, suggested that the site had been built as a giant pyramid by the inhabitants of Atlantis around 11,000 BCE. ()
