Gunung Padang Megalithic Site GPR reveals 27,000-year-old subterranean chamber. Ground penetrating radar identified a subterranean tunnel connecting to a chamber at Gunung Padang Megalithic Site Surrounding soil was dated to approximately 27,000 years old No existing ancient artifacts have been dated to that period
Ground penetrating radar identified subsurface anomalies suggesting a buried chamber structure at Gunung Padang Megalithic Site. Radiocarbon dating of surrounding soil samples has indicated ages up to approximately 27,000 years. Some artifacts at the site have been attributed to earlier periods, though dating remains debated. A comprehensive archaeological excavation has not been conducted to fully confirm the subsurface findings. Dr. Danny Natawidjaja of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) has interpreted the GPR and geophysical data as strongly warranting further investigation and excavation. 🏛️⛏️
