Gunung Padang, Indonesia

From series “Top Survived Pyramids from Previous Civilizations”
Height: 200 meters.

On the island Java in Indonesia is the mysterious Gunung Padang pyramid. For many years the pyramid was hidden under the soil layer of the Pandang Mountain. The local population thought that the mountain was of natural origin, and had cultivated it diligently and the vegetable gardens on the mountain slopes. To the great astonishment of modern researchers, the mountain has proved hollow. A huge pyramid was discovered beneath the thick layer of soil, the age of which was at least 15,000 years.

The height of the pyramid, which is hidden behind the gentle mountain slopes, forms about 200 meters. It was built of the enormous blocks carved out of the volcano rock. It is remarkable to see on many blocks the obvious traces of artificial processing. Just as with which instruments the blocks could be processed before millennia, the modern scientists can not even guess. The pyramid structure is also very interesting. Its steps are interspersed with six large terraces.

For the first time, Padangberg was explored around a century ago by scientists from Holland who 'discovered' within the mountain the anomalous geological formations. The inscriptions discovered on the pyramidal walls, some of which can not be unraveled, have gained even more interest. The ongoing research of the pyramid Gunung-Padang has lasted for more than a century. However, it has not yet been possible to guess the secret of its origin. In this case, the claims of the researchers who believe in the extraterrestrial origin of the pyramid seem to be mostly realistic. Next - Pyramid Huaca Ualyamarka
