Ancient Pyramid Discovery in Indonesia Sparks Controversy
A paper claiming that a pyramid in Indonesia is the world's oldest has sparked controversy among archaeologists and prompted an investigation by the journal that published it. The paper suggests that the pyramid at Gunung Padang in West Java could be 27,000 years old, predating the Egyptian pyramids and Göbekli Tepe. However, some researchers question the evidence and argue that the layers of rocks could be the result of natural weathering. The journal Archaeological Prospection and its publisher, Wiley, are currently investigating the paper.
