The temple complex of Gunung kawi, situated 25 km from Bali city of Ubud, was discovered in 1920 by an unknown Dutch archaeologist. It is considered the largest megalithic monument in the whole of Southeast Asia, and scientists are still trying to unravel its mysteries. Last week, the researchers put forward the view that this complex is not only a cave temple, but also the location of the ancient pyramids. According to them, under the temple can be secret passages to a depth of 15 meters.
This assumption was made by Indonesian scientists during the AGU conference in 2018 in Washington, DC. In their view, now hidden structures can be built more than 10,000 years ago. The temple itself is located in the valley of the river Pakrisan to down to it, you need to overcome approximately 300 steps.
Our research shows that the design covers not only the upper part, but the slopes, covering an area of not less than 15 hectares.
After the archaeological site using GPR and seismic tomography, the team found signs that Gunung Padang is a structure of several layers built in different historical periods. The topmost layer is 3,500 years old consists of stone columns and walls. The second layer, which was previously considered natural rock, was formed 8000 years ago from columnar rocks. A third layer formed 9500-28000 years ago, extends to a depth of 15 meters and has a large cavity and the chamber, carved by ancient people.
Geophysicist Danny Hillman believes that the ancient pyramid was built for religious purposes. The results of the study have not been confirmed, but they can flip an idea of what I was capable of a prehistoric community.
People think the prehistoric age was primitive, but this monument proves that wrong opinion.
Also there is a possibility that the assumptions of researchers will be rejected. The fact that some archaeologists and skeptics openly criticized the working methods of the team.
