Gunung Padang Sites

Gunung Padang sites is the site of prehistoric megalithic cultural heritage in West Java. Precisely at the border hamlet Gunungpadang and Panggulan, Karyamukti Village, District Campaka, Cianjur regency. The location can be reached 20 kilometers from the district town Warungkondang intersection, the street between the city of Cianjur and Sukabumi. Spacious main complex of approximately 900 m², located at an altitude of 885 m above sea level, and the site area is about 3 hectares, making it the largest punden complex in Southeast Asia.

The first report about the existence of this site is loaded on Rapporten van de Oudheidkundige Dienst (ROD, "Bulletin of the Department of Antiquities") in 1914. The Dutch historian, NJ Krom also touched on in 1949. Having had "forgotten", in 1979 three local residents, Endi, Soma, and Abidin, reporting to Edi, inspectors Cultural District Campaka, about the existence of a pile of large rectangular stones of various sizes that are arranged in a place with staircase that leads to Mount Gede [1]. Furthermore, together with the Head of the Cultural Section of the Department of Education Culture Cianjur, R. Adang Suwanda, he held the checking. The follow up is the study of archaeological, historical, and geological done Arkenas Research Center in 1979 to this site.

The function of the site is estimated Gunungpadang place of worship for the people who live there in about 2000 BC. [2] Rolan Mauludy research results and Hokky Situngkir suggesting possible involvement of some rock music megalith there [3]. Besides Gunungpadang, there are several other sites in Cianjur which is a relic of the period of megalithic.

The site location is hilly steep and difficult to access. The complexity of the elongated, cover the surface of a hill bordered by rows of large square-shaped andesite. The site is surrounded by valleys greatly in [1]. This place has previously been sacred by local residents. [2] Residents think of it as a place Prabu Siliwangi, the king of Sunda, trying to build a palace overnight.

But Since March 2011, the research team created an ancient catastrophic offices Presidential Special Staff for Social Assistance and Disaster, in a survey to look at the activity of active faults Cimandiri passing of Pelabuhan Ratu until Padalarang through Mount Padang. When the team conducted a survey of subsurface Mount Padang is known there is no intrusion of magma. Then a team of researchers conducted a survey of subsurface Mount Padang is more complete with geophysical methodology, namely geoelectric, georadar and geomagnetic in the area of the Site. As a result, more convinced that Mount Padang a hill created or shaped by man (man-made). In November 2011, a team led by Dr. Danny Hilman Natawidjaja, [4] consists of geoscience experts increasingly believe that Mount Padang created by past human who ever lived in the region.

Indonesian government survey and research were presented at various scientific meetings both nationally and internationally, even get appreciation from Prof. Dr. Oppenheimer. Then the ancient catastrophe team initiated the formation of a team of researchers focused on doing advanced studies at Mount Padang [5], in which the members of an expanded research and involves various disciplines and various skills. Call it Dr. Ali Akbar a prehistoric researcher from the University of Indonesia, who led the research field of archeology. Then Pon Purajatnika, M.Sc., led the field of architecture and regional research, Dr. Budianto Ontowirjo led civilian research structure, and Dr. Andang Bachtiar paleosedimentologi an expert, led the research in the layers of sediment at Mount Padang.

Building under the surface of the site of Mount Padang is scientifically proven to be older than the Pyramids of Giza. [7] This refers to the carbon-dating test results Laboratory Batan (Indonesia) with C14 LSC method of material -4m paleosoil in depth at the drill site coring 1, age paleosoil material is +130 5500 BP years ago. While testing the sand material at depth -8 s.d. -10 M on the location of coring drill 2 is 11000 + 150 years.

Surprising and consistent results issued by the laboratory Beta Analytic Miami, Florida, last week added where the age of the layers of a depth of about 5 meters to 12 meters bada drill two age around 14500-23000 BC / or older. While some of the sample are consistent with what is done in the Lab BATAN. We know a laboratory in Miami Florida is an international standard that is often a reference to a variety of the world's research is mainly related to carbon dating. [8]
