It's quite fascinating, with the potential to seriously up-end orthodoxy in archaeology.
Yeah, they looked at me strange when I tried to order it at the Indonesian restaurant ...

“It’s about time that science studied this site.
It’s quite fascinating, with the potential to seriously up-end orthodoxy in archaeology.”
It is extremely significant. This changes the history books.
First it it is not anywhere near the middle east (concept) and the other pyramids/ziggurats.
Second it is on an island that required major seafaring. (or flight)
Third it was started to be built before the last ice age ended.
Is it becoming obvious yet what these pyramids around the world were built for?
large Inter-space craft would not be able to support their own mass on the ground without crushing. They needed ladders to reach them as they floated above the ground for embarking and disembarking.

If this is true it makes it the oldest known example of Civilization.
It sounds like the very early activity was very simple, and the most impressive bits didn’t happen until after the Egyptians had done their thing.
It’s not the Great Pyramid being built 14,000 years ago.
Still interesting, though. I could take some cool pictures.
How unfortunate for the defenders of archeological orthodoxy that pyramids can’t be sequestered forever out-of-sight in the deep recesses of the British Museum or the Smithsonian.
***it sits on top of an extinct volcano in West Java, Indonesia,***
Reminds me of the old hard to find 1953 movie A FAIR WIND TO JAVA in which a temple with diamonds is sitting on the volcano Krakatoa when it explodes.
And then there is the old Mighty Mouse cartoon about Krakatoa Katie...doing her hochie coochie dance...first time this little kid got turned on by a mouse!
The age of the Great Pyramids at Giza is disputed. The “official” age from the Egyptologists may be much too late. Curiously, those largest pyramids were built first, like they were built by an older more advanced culture, and the later ones are smaller copies of the originals. The great Sphinx at Giza also shows weathering from water, not wind, meaning the climate of Egypt has changed much since it was built.
