Megalithic Site research and restoration team
Mount Padang
in Campaka District, Cianjur Regency, West Java determined the age of the Gunung Padang Site in the form of a terraced punden in the area which was built in 6,000 BC (BC).
Head of the Mount Padang Megalithic Site Research and Restoration Team, Ali Akbar, said the research team took a number of samples from various points that had been excavated or excavated in the last few months.
“The samples that were researched and tested included carbon content taken from the fifth terrace, to be precise at a depth of four meters below the surface of the site, so that we know the age of the outer structure which can be seen how many years old it is,” said Ali when contacted in Cianjur, Sunday (30/11).

The research team also found a foundation structure in the form of round rocks at a depth of four meters, where the rock shape was not elongated but rectangular in shape.
Therefore, the researchers concluded that the rocks were neatly arranged into one stretch in the form of a foundation structure.With these foundation findings, it can be seen that the Gunung Padang Site was built in stages over several periods.
Based on the results of laboratory tests, it was revealed that the Gunung Padang Megalithic Site was built around 6,000 BC, so it is certain that the site is older than the Giza pyramids in Egypt which were built around 2580-2560 BC.
“The construction of this site was carried out in stages until the end that we can see now, after the foundation was formed, it was continued with the construction of the structure above it and so on,” he said.
After confirming the age of the site, he said, research continued with the initial restoration process, including repairing a number of rocks that had moved from their original place due to natural factors and large-scale restoration to be carried out in early 2026.
“In December, initial restoration will be carried out, including returning shifted or damaged stones to their original position, while at the beginning of the year large-scale restoration will be carried out,” he said.
