Many people assume that the ancient Egyptian or American populations were the first to build pyramids. However, the reality is different.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Gunung Padang located in Cianjur Regency, West Java Province, is a megalithic complex situated on the top of a beautiful hill. In 2018, archaeologists first proposed a theory that the entire mounds might be entirely man-made, and Gunung Padang, which literally means "Mountain of Enlightenment," involves more than just the visible stone structures on its surface."

In a recently published scientific journal, Archaeological Prospection, it is recorded that the author and his team conducted an integrated survey at Gunung Padang for three years, from November 2011 to October 2014. This survey included landscape and surface mapping of the site, core drilling, trench excavation, and the application of integrated geophysical techniques, including the use of two-dimensional and three-dimensional Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) method, as well as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR).
