Ancient Indonesian Pyramid Stirs Debate with 27,000-Year-Old Origins

A controversial paper published in the journal Archaeological Prospection claims that the buried rock formations at the megalithic site of Gunung Padang in West Java, Indonesia, are actually a 27,000-year-old man-made pyramid. The Indonesian researchers argue that the structures were built in stages over thousands of years. However, the mainstream scientific community strongly rejects this claim, as it challenges the belief that pyramid-building societies existed before the end of the last Ice Age. The debate continues, with critics arguing that the rock formations are natural and not evidence of an ancient pyramid. Wiley, the publisher of the paper, has announced an investigation into the research.
