Nota : this is an english version of the article « Le site mysterieux de Gunung Padang »,
originally written in french language, for a better understanding of this article by the lecturers
of english language. I have to specify that this is an automatic numerical translation so, I am
not sure that the result has a very academical quality. Sorry for that.

Introduction

In July 2019, I went to Java to visit and study a number of ancient temples, which subsequently
resulted in a long series of seven volumes, devoted to the study of the dating of a hundred
temples (candi) in the provinces of West Java and Central Java.

This study, which is absolutely unique, has brought a cascade of revelations that renew the
knowledge of these temples and, by the same token, the history of this island during the first
millennium of our era.

All these articles (as well as my other dating articles) can be read on the Academia.edu
platform at the following address:
https://independent.academia.edu/MichelROJO4/Papers).

But I also wanted to take advantage of this trip to explore the mysterious site of Gunung
Padang, "the largest megalithic site in Southeast Asia", according to the former Indonesian
president, Mr. Yudhoyono.

Over the past decade, this site has generated a deluge of articles from, among others,
followers of the myth of Atlantis, but also following much more serious and scientific studies,
supported by the conclusions of laboratory analyses, especially American, which tend to
explain to us that this mountain, in fact the summit, is not natural, but a "human-made"
pyramid-like construction, long covered by a thickness of earth and volcanic ash (as there are
many active volcanoes in Java).

But the worst (or most unbelievable) thing is that some studies date the elements of this
construction to periods that range from 10,000 years to 25,000 years ago, which far surpasses
the oldest known human constructions, such as the pyramids of Egypt (about 5,000 years ago)

1
and even the megalithic site of Göbekli Tepe, in Turkey, although some researchers have
dated it to 9,000 years old.

Which, of course, raises the vexing question: "Who did this?" If this pyramid really exists
because, I remind you, it is covered with several meters of earth and also very hard lava, and
therefore no one has had access to it, there have just been a few "borings".

Gunung Padang is nevertheless considered sacred by the locals who built it, more or less long
ago, with a stone staircase that leads to a succession of terraces. The place is beautiful but, it
is quite difficult to go there because it is far from everything.

The archaeological site of Gunung Padang is located south of the road that connects the towns
of Sukabumi and Cianjur, all southeast of the city of Bogor, which in turn is southeast of the
capital of Indonesia, Jakarta, on the island of Java.

Here is my study and my conclusions...

Part One: Study of the Gunung Padang site.

The Gunung Padang site is mainly composed of five terraces on the upper floors and set back
from each other. The complex is spread over a length of approximately 122 m. Terrace I rises
by 2 m and has an area of 110 m2, Terrace II rises by 8 m by 540 m2, Terrace III rises by 0.75
m by 350 m2, Terrace IV rises by 1.50 m by 365 m2 and Terrace V rises by approximately 2 m
by 340 m2. (Source: Pelita III).

However, borings carried out outside the enclosure of the five terraces and all around the site
showed that the entire site was much larger than the visitable area.

During my visit, I was not able to see all these surveys; And besides, I don't even know if there's
anything left to see or if all these digging points have been covered.

Therefore, I will only talk about the main site, the five terraces.

2
The first thing that strikes you (it's particularly impressive from an airplane) are the thousands
of very black andesite (lava rock) boulders about one to two meters long that line the site, and
which were, among other things, used to build the access staircase.

Their section all presents a series of surfaces of varying numbers and imperfectly flat, which
leads us to say that only men could have cut these stones to make pieces very similar to each
other.

But their impressive number inevitably begs us: what army of stonemasons could have made
these thousands of pieces and how long did it take?

The reality is simpler: it was not men - let alone "extraterrestrials" - who committed these
works, but nature.

A geological phenomenon that is perfectly known and explained. Several million years ago,
the volcano's lava cooled, then cracked to form millions of parallelepipeds of four to eight
sides "glued" together. All that was left to do was to separate them so that they could
eventually be used as they were.

3
To reach the first terrace from the car park below, there are two possibilities: take the original
stone staircase or take the flight of concrete steps, a more practical choice and less potentially
dangerous for the ankles.

The climb is within everyone's reach because there is only about a hundred meters of
elevation gain. The mountain rises to a modest altitude of 885 meters above sea level.

Yes, you read that right! According to the information I have obtained, this staircase was
built 9,900 years before our era, by an "earthling" population that lived ici.
Il took a group of 17 people 4.5 years to complete it.

The whole site is enclosed in an elevated enclosure formed by a wall of these andesite stones.
Originally, all the stones, except those used to make the staircase, were fixed upright, but
today most of them are on the ground.

In addition, there are no standing buildings outside the low walls.

4
The last steps before reaching the perimeter wall of the first terrace. All of the stones seen in
this photo date back to 9,900 BC, except for the wall on the top left.

This wall, enlarged in this image, is 9,900 years old.

5
It was therefore built 2,000 years after the staircase and the enclosure.

It would have been built to replace or consolidate the enclosure that collapsed at this
location.

The first terrace.

Here we bathe in an ocean of these rather hallucinatory andesite stones.

The question that inevitably arises once you arrive on the first terrace: how many blocks are
there on this incredible site?

6
 In this picture, you can immediately notice these two majestic and somewhat lonely trees.
The first one is located towards the centre of the first terrace, and the one at the back is
positioned more or less towards the middle of the second terrace.

But, what is particularly remarkable is their similarity in originality: about a meter above the
ground, their trunk split, a clear sign of a disturbance of geological origin, which forced them
to split in two, if they wanted to survive.

(See below for the cause in question.)

7
 In this image, we can clearly see an entrance door, marked by the two pillars standing to the
left, to what might be called an enclosure or hall. I didn't manage to find out what this closed
place was for. But, there were never any animals in there and women didn't get in either.
This place dates back to the construction of the terrace, 11,900 years ago.

A sign reads "Gunung musigit", the musical mountain, this pile of stones, because these
stones are said to emit sounds when you rub them with your fingers. I didn't try it...

8
From the top of the second terrace, you can clearly see the room I mentioned above, as well
as on the left, the "musical mountain". On the far left, another room, ill-defined.

Second terrace

On the second terrace, you can see this eye-catching location. A rectangular stone slab
about the size of a man, surrounded by a standing stone wall.

It is a tomb with an important man and his two wives. They lived here 9,250 years ago.

9
 Terraces three, four and five

Terrace three, in the 1st foreground just after the door. Terrace four, after the black panel in
the centre of the image and terrace five, after the other black panel in the background in
front of the trees.

10
 Terrace Three

On this terrace, you can see a tomb again, quite similar to the previous one.

Here were buried four people, two couples. Died 7,900 years ago.

Terrace Four

11
On terrace four, there is a visibly landscaped site (10,200 years ago), consisting of a half-
quadrilateral of standing andesite stones, the rest of the rectangle being formed by the
powerful and emerging roots of a large and beautiful tree about 25 meters high.

In the centre of the open area, an andesite monolith was erected on the same date, like a
menhir.

There is no cemetery here. It was a place where a religious ritual was sometimes practiced.
The "king" of Gunung Padang came here to honor celestial powers so that they would grant
their protection to the community that lived there. These were, it seems, offerings of flowers,
but there were also sacrifices of animals, such as chickens or sheep (but not humans).

The whole thing dates from the same era as everything else.

The five terraces were created at the beginning of the development of the site.

However, I asked myself the following question: why a place of worship at the foot of this
tree? And why this standing stone in the middle, which doesn't really look like a menhir, but
rather reminds us of an altar foot?

I found the answer very simple: I remembered that the altars of the Romanesque churches
and prestigious cathedrals in Europa are, most of the time, placed right above a vortex, a
rotating column of energy, which comes out of the ground and rises into the sky.

In the temple, the vortex serves as a connector between the believer who is on Earth and his
god who is in Heaven.

The soul or spirit of the believer ascends to heaven, while the word of the god descends to
earth; This is why the support of the Book of God, the altar, and sometimes the lectern, is
placed above the vortex.

There are several types of vortexes. Here at Gunung Padang, we are dealing with a level 3
vortex.

Nota : As I write this article, I came across a picture of this location on the internet. On the
central stone was fixed a sign with the text: Batu kanurangan. An explanation, in English,
accompanies this image and translates "batu kanurangan" as "energy stone". And says, to
clarify: "this stone balances your vibration and synchronizes it with the cosmic vibration".

Obviously, the authors of this text did not see that the stone is placed on a vortex, which is
also level 3 and therefore very energetic, and that it is the one that modifies our energy level
if we get closer, not the stone. Here, it is enough to pass within 8 m of the stone to be impacted
by the energy of the vortex, and lingering next to it can harm our health.

12
13
 Fifth and final terrace

It is, by far, the terrace with the most landscaped areas.

In the central part of the last terrace is a place named « Singgasana ».

14
 Two images of the « Singgasana »

This particular place, in the middle of the last terrace (so the highest place on the site, so...
closest to the sky), is simply made up of a pavement of large stones laid flat, and apparently
"protected" by a thin wall of standing stones that surrounds the slab.

15
At the head of this kind of bed, a sign bears the word "SINGGASANA". For anyone who knows
a little about Sanskrit, the word is no mystery. It is the juxtaposition of the two words
"SINGGA" and "ASANA". The former means "lion" and the latter is very often used to refer to
meditative seated postures.

Therefore, I would translate the expression "SINGGASANA" as: the (throne) of the lion (seated)
in meditation. The lion, here, being the king or "chief" of the community that lived there, but
who, more than chief, was also the sage, the guardian, the spiritual protector since his deep
meditations allowed him to communicate with celestial forces that he invoked, probably, to
ensure the protection of the "kingdom" of Gunung Padang.

I have been trying to find out more about this "lion" and this throne, and the information I
have obtained tells a different story, to say the least: we are here in front of a simple grave.
One person (and only one) is believed to have been buried under this slab about 9,900 years
ago.

He was, it seems, the great chief of the community. This makes sense, given the place where
the tomb was erected, i.e. the zenith point of the mountain. He was about 50 years old.

Further back and almost at the end of the fifth terrace, there are three landscaped pitches,
aligned and close to each other.

16
At the right end of the site, you can see this pile of stones lying on the ground.

It's still a grave. Five people live here, three men and two women.

All of these people died about 9,900 years ago.

17
In the central part (image above) there is a landscaped part with a large stone in the centre
that is reminiscent of the lid of a stone coffin.

A sign reads "Batu pandaringan": tombstone.

And, indeed, it is, once again, a grave.

Only one person here, who died 9,550 years ago. The "chef" of the moment.

As mentioned above, there are three places at the end of the terrace.

For the last one, it is a little difficult to consider it as "developed" because, what we see
above all, is a pile of andesite stones. This is confirmed by the fact that there are no tombs in
this square.

In fact, according to my information, we have before us a simple pile of stones, but it is

about 6,000 years old. And that preceded the abandonment of the Gunung Padang site by
the people who lived here. Permanently abandoned.

19
Part two: the questions that arise about this "sacred mountain," and my answers.

I: Why this terrace site here?

That was one of the first questions I asked myself.

Indeed, mountains in Java, I would be tempted to say that there is only that. And this one is
really low, and only 120 m higher than the traffic lane that leads to it.

On the other hand, just opposite, to the north-west and at a short distance as the crow flies,
therefore clearly visible, there is a pair of much higher mountains, which form a volcano: the
Gunung Pangrango which culminates at 3,019 m and the Gunung Gede, which has to make do
with 2,958 m.

However, it seems that since time immemorial, the Gede has been a sacred mountain for the
local population. And why is it he, and not the Pangrango, who is higher?

And again: wouldn't there be a link between these two sites (Gunung Padang and the
volcano)? Because the five terraces of Gunung Padang are oriented north-west/south-east
and when you are on the highest terrace and you look out over the other four terraces, you
can see the huge mass of the volcano right in the extension.

But another element goes into the composition of the image (obvious in the photo below),
these are the two large trees I already mentioned above and whose trunk splits in two at one
meter from the ground for the two trees, an obvious sign of a disturbance.

So, the final question is: what could connect this site of terraces, very old, two trees that show
the same symptoms of a strong disturbance and a mountain that has been considered sacred
for a very long time, located in the north/south extension, about 15 km away?

The answer is simple: a radiation of cosmotelluric origin, created in the Earth's crust and
emerging from the ground, forming a ring all around the earth.

These electromagnetic networks are very numerous and of various origins, but always linked
to underground atomic reactions. Each type of network ultimately creates a more or less
dense mesh above ground, all around our planet.

Here, we are in the presence of a network called "Ley-lines" (named after their inventor, the
Englishman Alfred Watkins in 1921). Ley-lines, like all other networks, are always straight lines,
making it easy to follow them.

20
Here, however, a ley-line (about 1.80 m wide) crosses the middle of the five terraces, passing
under the two tall trees (hence the
disturbance), continues descending – if I
may say so – the original staircase of the
Gunung Padang site and continues until it
reaches and crosses the Gunung Gede,
considered sacred probably because it is
potentially very dangerous, with
eruptions every ten or twenty years (but
the last one dates from 1957) before
continuing its "world tour".

The line of the Gunung Padang Ley-line is

almost perfectly indicated in the photo on
the right by the yellow and black taut wire
that starts from the bottom of the image
and continues straight towards the center
of the photo towards the two trees,
placed just behind each other.

On the other hand, this north-south ley-

line intersects another east-west oriented
ley-line at the separation between
terraces 4 and 5.

Unfortunately, the milky sky at the beginning of the afternoon meant that the Gunung Gede
was not very visible to the eye, and did not appear on the photo.

II: The "Subterranean Pyramid", True or False?

The publication of Alfred Watkins' book "The Old Straight Track" in 1925, in which he revealed
that the oldest sacred sites and monuments on our planet, such as megaliths, and others such
as pyramids or ancient religious buildings, are (all) connected by paths in the form of straight
lines, has revived, at the global level, the myth of Atlantis, the vanished continent, and its
civilization with it.

And some began to search everywhere, on land as well as in the oceans, for evidence of the
existence of Atlantis and, in particular, of the pyramids. Because, they think, such gigantic
monuments, such as the pyramid of Kheops, so extraordinary and so old (officially 4,500 years
old for the pyramid of Kheops) could not have been built by men who were almost prehistoric
and, moreover, equipped with archaic tools, at that time. On the other hand, the imposing
size of these buildings makes it possible to spot them from afar, even from space...

And nowadays, with the internet, the "delirium" continues unabated...

21
You see them everywhere... even in Indonesia, especially in Java.

And under the terraces of Gunung Padang.

As mentioned earlier in the introduction, many articles mention a multi-storey, pyramid-like

construction that would crown the natural hill called Gunung Padang, a very, very old
construction, whose beginnings are dated to 25,000 years ago and even, in some cases, to
nearly 28,000 years ago.

Where it appeals to an inquisitive mind like yours truly, is that these dates (incredible for
many, because they shake up, obviously, and not just a little, history and official beliefs) are
provided not by a few individuals who see "extra-terrestrials" everywhere, but by research
laboratories, all that is official and serious.

Having planned a trip to Java for the summer of 2019, I wanted to try to find out a little more,
for myself, about the existence or not of this construction and its dating.

Here's the information I got:

Question 1 :

Most of the andesite blocks, apart from those used to build stairs or walls, were standing.
Today, however, these monoliths are almost all lying down. Since when? Answer: for 2,200
years (only!). It seems that at that time, a local population returned to the site (deserted for
2,000 years) to practice certain rituals but without ever settling at the top (apparently, these
newcomers did not know of the existence of the pyramid). These people would have knocked
down, voluntarily, the monoliths that were still standing. (The hypothesis, which I have read,
that a series of cataclysms followed the impact of the Earth by a comet 13,000 years ago,
which destroyed the site of Gunung Padang, seems "folkloric.")

Question 2 :

Is there a pyramid of "human" construction under the terraces? Answer: Yes.

Question 3 :

What are the dimensions of this pyramid? Answer: the pyramid would be formed by three
superimposed layers that total a height of 19 m. The base would measure 18 m in the
east/west direction, and 14 m in the north/south direction.

22
Question 4 :

How old is this pyramid? Answer: The beginnings of the construction of this pyramid date
back 16,000 years (not 25,000 years, as some seem to claim). And it would have ended
about 7,000 years ago.

The construction was carried out in 3 phases:

The first one started 16,000 years ago and ended 13,000 years ago.

The second phase began 10,000 years ago and continued for about 1,000 years.

The third phase began 8,000 years ago and ended about 7,000 years ago.

Question 5 :

How many people lived here?

Answer: About 52 people lived here in the beginning of the first phase, about 40 in the second
phase and about 30 in the third phase. Men, women and children.

The first inhabitants of the site came to settle here 19,000 years ago. The site was eventually
abandoned by the pyramid dwellers 4,500 years ago. During these 15,000 years, the site has
always been inhabited.

Question 6 :

Why did these people come to settle on this mountain and how did they live? Answer: I have
not been able to find out why this population came to live here. This building served as a
shelter for them. They lived there, they slept there.

They were also breeders. They had sheep and also chickens. And they hunted. The sheep were
herded together in pens or shelters, outside the pyramid and outside the five terraces.

The builders of the pyramid knew that a "Ley-line" ran up the mountain, and that it joined the
Gede mountain. However, these people were already occasionally going to the top of Gunung
Gede to perform certain religious rituals.

Their settlement on the Gunung Padang seems, at least in part, to be linked to the existence
of the "Ley-line".

It will also be noted that the limits of the terraces are marked by the passage of the
cosmotelluric walls of the Hartmann network type of level 2 and level 3 (between terraces IV
and V), as I have indicated on the map below. (Plan taken from the Indonesian archaeological
research journal Pelita III).

23
I have read many times that this site of Gunung Padang is for religious rituals. This is partially
correct because, as noted above, it has also served as a cemetery, at least for a few prominent
personalities.

Question 7 :

Are there any "large rooms or living rooms" inside the building? Answer: the modelled images
of the interior of the pyramid that appeared after the data were analysed following all the
surveys carried out in 2014, seem to show, according to some, large chambers. Graham
Hancock, the famous British journalist and archaeologist, a veritable "Tintin" reporter of
ancient mystery sites, author of several best-sellers, and fervent supporter of the theory of
extraterrestrial civilizations, who eventually learned of the existence of this site, and even
went there, affirms, very enthusiastically, that there are three of them.

The answers I got were that on the lower level, there would be no large rooms. At the middle
level, there might be one, and at the higher level, it would seem that there is one and, perhaps,
two. But all this is not certain and must be verified.

24
III: What is this "civilization" that built this pyramid and site of Gunung Padang? And, are there
other sites of this type in Java and even elsewhere?

Answers: There are seven other pyramidal constructions of the Gunung Padang type on the
island of Java, and there have been a total of 83 others around the world, spread all over the
world.

The builders of these pyramids were guided by "initiates".

Of course, I asked the question of the purpose of all these pyramids.

I couldn't get an answer.

25
The 8 pyramids of Java :

There are therefore eight "pyramids" of the Gunung Padang type in Java. I tried to locate the
other seven. Here's what I found:

(Background image: Google maps).

They are all located in the western part of the island, the region called "Sunda".

I : Gunung Padang

II : Nantung Pasangraham Site, Sumedang, West Java.

III : Au north of Leuwidamar, south of Rangkasbitung, Jawa Barat

IV : Banjarsari Site, Canning, South of Bandung

V: Situs Sirnabakti, north of Pameungpeuk and south of Garut

VI: Situs Kamojan, northwest of Garut

VII : Situs Jampang Kulon, South of Sukabumi

VIII: Situs Darangdan, northwest of Bandung

Two important pieces of information that could at least provide the beginning of an
explanation as to why they are located in these places, and not elsewhere:

Firstly: These 8 sites are all crossed by a "Ley-line" crossing.

Second: A level 3 vortex emerges from the ground of each of these 8 sites.

26
Conclusion :

I wanted to take advantage of my trip to Java to visit this site that has caused so much ink to
flow, to see, in a way, "the thing" with my eyes and to get a global idea of it.

It was also a question of making a pre-study in situ and to find out if the terraces of Gunung
Padang were indeed as old as some scientific analyses claimed (nowadays, unfortunately, one
publishes anything to "sensationalize", so, like Saint Thomas, I prefer to believe after having
checked for myself, to the extent of my abilities and possibilities).

Although my study is fragmented and the answers I have received to my questions are not
always frank, let alone those for which I have not had an answer, it is clear that this site
significantly pushes back the dates of the first great human constructions, as we can read them
in any textbook.

Let me remind you of the main information I obtained: 11,900 years old for the terraces; The
first inhabitants arrived here 19,000 years ago and the beginnings of the construction of "the
pyramid" 16,000 years ago. Construction was completed about 7,000 years ago and the site
was finally abandoned 4,500 years ago.

Although the dates I have obtained do not go back as far as 25,000 years or more, I confirm,
in spirit, the conclusions made by other studies, about the "exceptional" side of this site and
its "extraordinary" antiquity.

As for what is the "civilization" that did all this, where it got its knowledge from, I prefer not
to say too much on this subject because it could take us very far... but, according to my first
information, it seems that all these constructions (the 8 in Java and the 83 in all), have nothing
to do with Atlantis and the Atlantean peoples, which make so many people fantasize. We are
only talking about "insiders" here. To be confirmed!

I am therefore not pronouncing, for the moment, on the "Great Planetary Movement" aspect
with regard to all these pyramids, having studied only this site of Gunung Padang. But I doubt
that anyone will ever be able to provide a definitive answer to questions that take us far too
far into the past, a past that has far too many gaps to fill and too great a lack of evidence, for
us to have a relatively clear representation of it.

A last word to finish, and also to revive the subject of the mysterious pyramids of Java, I found
on the internet a page dedicated to the site of Nantung Pasangraham, with a pair of photos
where we can see, there too, a large pile of andesite monoliths, similar to those of Gunung
Padang, and which seem to have been used for constructions.

I wanted to do a quick study of the dating of these stones: about 10,000 years ago.

So, overall, from the same period, very distant, as those of Gunung Padang.

27
End of the study, September 8, 2019.

April 2021 Addition:

I am taking advantage of the third Covid-19 lockdown to resume my study on Gunung Padang,
and complete it in order to disseminate it on Academia.edu, like my other articles.

As discussed earlier, according to my information, there are eight such sites in Java, all in
Sundaland.

My objective, to complete this study, is to find the other seven sites, roughly indicated on the
map above, and to try to obtain information for each of them and especially the dates of
construction.

The goal, of course, is to find out if these "pyramids" all date from the same era, that of the
construction of the structure that hides under the Gunung Padang.

(After that, we'll just have to dig to find out if what I've written is accurate or not. But I'm not
going to do that...).

28
Pyramid 1 : Gunung Padang.

(Background image from Google Earth).

The frame in red marks (approximately because it is technically impossible for me to indicate
it to the nearest metre) the location of the base of the three-tiered, man-made structure that
hides under the top of the hill.

This red frame has, in fact, if you look at the scale, a dimension (and it's the same for the other
pyramids below) much larger than the base of the lower floor of the pyramid.

I think the reason is that these pyramidal constructions were laid on a landscaped terrace,
made of stones, with a much larger area than the pyramid itself.

Let me remind you that this hill is crossed by a crossing of two ley-lines, that the limits of the
platforms rise above the walls of the Hartmann 2 and 3 networks and that another wall H2
(not marked on the map p.25) crosses the five platforms from north to south, right in the
centre.

29
Pyramid 2 : Situs Nantung Pasangraham, Sumedang

It would be a structure that would rise on four levels.

(Background image from Google Earth).

It can be seen that here too, the hill, and therefore the structure, are crossed by a crossing of
two Ley-lines and also by a crossing of two Hartmann networks, an H3 network, from east to
west, and an H2 network, from north to south, whose node is practically located in the center
of the pyramid.

The question on everyone's mind (me first) is: when did this four-tiered structure start?

Suspense... and (drum roll) ... Answers:

According to my information, the construction of this pyramid structure of Nantung

Pasangraham began 14,350 years ago. It ended 6,900 years ago.

This site was abandoned, like the other seven, 4,500 years ago.

We can therefore already say that this construction dates from the same period as that of
Gunung Padang.

30
Already, the revelation, about ten years ago, of the incredible antiquity of the structure built
at Gunung Padang had the effect of an atomic bomb from which the Indonesian authorities
are having great difficulty recovering (for political and religious reasons).

But here, with this second structure, built nearly 15,000 years ago and, inevitably by the same
individuals, the population that lived there at that time (again, no question of "Extra-
Terrestrials" here), it's literally Hiroshima + Nagasaki. And that's where it hurts...

And the worst is yet to come, since I announced above, that there were a total of eight such
"pyramids" in Java.

I could probably get a certain amount of other information about this construction, but for
the time being I prefer to stick to the dates because it seems to me to be the essential
information.

So let's continue our investigation, worthy of the best detective novels (after "The Ten Little
Negroes", the "Eight Pyramids of Java"), and join the next structure of this genre:

31
Pyramid 3: the one north of Leuwidamar, south of Rangkasbitung, Jawa Barat.

It is the westernmost part of the island, southeast of the large city of Serang.

Here we would be in the presence of a three-tiered pyramid.

The peculiarity of this pyramid is that it is not located on the top of a hill, but on a plain, since
the ground at the height of this structure is less than 200 m high.

And, in addition, there are houses because it is located on the edge of a hamlet.

A little taken aback by this unusual situation, I tried to find out how many meters below ground
level the top of this structure is.

Answer: about 12 meters.

Again, we can see on the map above that there are crossings of H3 networks (and H2
networks, not shown) and Ley-lines. The interest, obviously, would have been to see the
organization of the site in relation to these networks...

Now, the fateful question.

Date of construction?

Beginning, 17,500 years ago. Construction was completed 11,500 years ago.

32
This population abandoned the site to settle elsewhere only 4,500 years ago.

The place was therefore inhabited for more than 13,000 years.

There were a maximum of 350 people (approximately) living here at the same time.

This structure would therefore be a little older than that of Gunung Padang.

(I don't know what you're thinking, dear readers, when you read these astonishing
revelations???

Me, my hairs stand on end... it's so crazy) ...

For these revelations revolutionize the ancient (very ancient) history of humanity, as it is told
to us in books and as it is taught in school books.

Let's continue with the following structure:

33
Pyramid 4 : Banjarsari Site, Canning, South of Bandung

(Background image from Google Earth).

With this fourth site, located south of Bandung, we gain new heights, as we climb to an
altitude of 2,000 m.

This pyramidal structure has four levels of elevation.

Construction dates: Beginning, 13,600 years ago. Construction was completed 7,600 years
ago.

The site of Benjarsari, Pengalengan, was finally abandoned 4,500 years ago.

34
Pyramid 5: Situs Cikondang, north of Pameungpeuk and south of Garut.

(Background image from Google Earth).

This pyramid also has 4 levels of elevation.

Unlike the previous one, it is located at a low altitude: the current ground rises to less than
500 m.

It should also be noted that, like the previous one, the intersection of the two ley-lines is
located right in the centre of the quadrilateral.

Construction dates: Beginning, 18,400 years ago. End, 9,600 years ago. The site was
abandoned 4,500 years ago.

So this pyramid is even older...

As you've probably noticed, dear readers who pay attention to detail, all the sites were
abandoned at the same time: 4,500 years ago. Why?

You will also notice, dear readers, that the external dimensions of these last two sites are, it
seems, immense, with almost a kilometre on each side for the first and two kilometres for the
second, which is gigantic.

35
Pyramid 6: Situs Kamojan, northwest of Garut.

(Background image from Google Earth).

This other underground pyramid also has 4 levels of elevation.

Construction dates: Beginning, 18,300 years ago. Construction was completed 8,600 years
ago.

So it's as old as the previous one.

The site was abandoned, again, 4,500 years ago.

36
Pyramid 7 : Situs Jampang Kulon, South of Sukabumi.

(Background image from Google Earth).

This pyramid has only 3 levels of elevation.

Construction dates: Beginning, 16,500 years ago. Construction was completed 8,600 years
ago.

Total abandonment 4,500 years ago.

We still have one last very old structure to study. It is located northwest of Bandung.

37
Pyramid 8: Situs Darangdan, northwest of Bandung.

(Background image from Google Earth).

This pyramid has 4 levels of elevation. Ground altitude: approx. 600 m.

Construction dates: Beginning, 16,200 years ago. Construction was completed 7,400 years
ago. This site was abandoned, like the other seven, 4,500 years ago.

All eight sites were abandoned at exactly the same time, 4,500 years ago. What for?

Here's the little information I got: 4,500 years ago, there was a huge explosion at the Bromo
volcano, east of Java. The entire population fled Java to Sumatra. Less than a year later, the
Javanese returned to their island but the inhabitants of the eight pyramids never reintegrated
these sites, which were permanently abandoned.
