New study claims large 10,000-year-old pyramid-like structure lies under Mount Padang in West Java

A new study claims that underneath a mountain in Indonesia lies the world’s oldest pyramid. The site, Gunung (Mount) Padang, is a hill with abundant archaeological evidence. But the new study claims that the hill is in fact a layered series of ancient structures dating over 10,000 years back.

The study was carried out over several years and researchers claim that the structure is not superficial, but rooted into greater depth covering an area of at least 15 hectares. With the use of ground penetration radar, seismic tomography and archaeological excavations combined, the team of researchers say that many layers hide beneath the hill constructed in several prehistoric periods.

You know, when I was a kid and we went through Yellowstone there was a mountain that I swore had the shape of a pyramid. I thought that maybe it was and just covered in thousands of years of trees and dirt. All the other mountains were natural looking but this particular mountain stood out like a flamingo in a swamp.

After the finding of the Göbekli Tepe and others, I rule nothing out for this time period.

I believe much of the past has been lost beyond legend. And I believe the Darwinian thought of development from the primitive to the advanced as a more or less linear progression along the lineage of those present now limits the ability of people to conceive of serious regression in technological capabilities in humanity's past.

Yet we are confronted with the remains of engineering marvels which rival modern construction and abilities.

Which begs the question, what identifiable remnants would survive in 10,000 years if there was a worldwide calamity which seriously disrupted modern civilization? What would some archaeologist of the future find?

(I suspect not much.)
