Graham Hancock Lashes Out At Archaeology, Human Origins Story of Civilization is Plain Wrong
G
12:23Graham HancockGUEST
Some recent science is beginning to show cavities in the Great Pyramid which were not expected before.
G
12:30Graham HancockGUEST
In Indonesia, in a place called Gunung Padang, what was formerly thought to be a natural hill with a megalithic site on top of it, has now been discovered to be a pyramid.
G
12:42Graham HancockGUEST
It's been subjected to a very close geological study by one of Indonesia's leading geologists.
G
12:49Graham HancockGUEST
They've surveyed the interior of the structure using ground penetrating radar and seismic tomography.

And, you know, Graham will be talking and delivering a lecture, a major lecture on the whole subject in November at our conference, Origins 2015.

55:02Andrew CollinsHOST
And there are other, many other good speakers there as well, including via Skype, directly from Java, Danny Hillman, the geologist in Java who's redated the largest megalithic monument of Indonesia there, known as Gudung Padang, from about 600 BC back to pre-8000 BC.

55:26Andrew CollinsHOST
So he will be talking and how he feels that this fits into the greater picture of what was going on at the end of the last Ice Age.

I assume that was in reference to when I said that we need to fund some of these digs.
A
77:18Aidan MattisHOST
in some cases yes in other cases i like for example um gunung padang is the one that graham hancock mentions first in the show there's some weirdness that we absolutely don't know anything about so it's one of two things either it's something we haven't discovered or it's just a natural formation but we're not going to know until somebody excavates it
B
77:38Benjamin OlshanGUEST
Let me chime in on this, if I may.
B
77:41Benjamin OlshanGUEST
So I think, because it's funny, so my daughter, I should comment, I have a daughter who ironically is interested in going into archaeology as an undergrad.

J
12:13JinHOST
There are some incredible archaeological sites in Indonesia.
J
12:17JinHOST
Why did he pick Gunung Padang? To me, that's very strange because there are ones from the 7th and 8th century that are the literal Solomon's Temple, that are the tantric version of Solomon's Temple.
J
12:29JinHOST
And I wonder why he would pick That one, that's a bunch of bricks in the jungle.

The Atlantis Fantasy - Part Three: Location, Location, Location

But here I believe that the beach rock has been used as a construction material.

68:57Nathaniel LloydHOST
His theory of Atlantis just continued to sprawl as he has supposedly found evidence of this advanced precursor culture all over the world at Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, Gunung Padang in Indonesia, Yonaguni Monument in Japan, Nan Madal in Micronesia, and Tiwanaku in Bolivia.

He has removed himself from the typical debate about Atlantis locations by asserting that, rather than one island, the precursor culture he has quote-unquote discovered was a

The 25,000-Year-Old Pyramid They Found BURIED Under a Hill in Indonesia - And Can't Explain
S
1:56speaker_5NARRATOR
Locals have known about it for centuries.
S
1:59speaker_5NARRATOR
They call it Gunung Padang, the Mountain of Enlightenment.
S
2:04speaker_5NARRATOR
But here's the question that's been tearing the archaeological world apart for over a decade.
S
2:10speaker_5NARRATOR
What if it's not a hill at all? What if underneath all that dirt and vegetation, there's something built, something ancient, something that shouldn't exist according to everything we think we know about human history? Some researchers claim there's a massive structure buried inside this hill, layers of construction going back not thousands of years, but tens of thousands.
S
3:54speaker_5NARRATOR
Links in the description.
S
3:56speaker_5NARRATOR
Okay, so here's how we're going to handle this.
S
4:00speaker_5NARRATOR
Because a story like Gunung Padang comes with two very different tracks running side by side, and if you mix them up, you end up either dismissing something genuinely interesting or believing something that isn't actually supported.
S
4:16speaker_5NARRATOR
So we're going to separate three things very carefully.

You have enough yachts.
A
38:38Aidan MattisHOST
Yeah, one more yacht might be cool, but you know what's cooler? Figuring out what's at the bottom of Gunung Padang.
A
38:46Aidan MattisHOST
But anyway, that's probably enough ranting about the state of funding in the historical and archaeological community.
