The story of the oldest pyramid in Indonesia got a new turnaround and controversy.

    The story of the oldest pyramid in Indonesia got a new turnaround and controversy. 


A long time before Egyptian sculptors made sphinx and pyramids nature made those places. For some reason those naturally formed, extraordinary-looking places turn holy. And then Sumerians and Egyptians started to make their pyramids. Those natural pyramids were holy places for people. 

I know there will be a lot of "maybes" in this text. Indonesian archeologists said, that the Gunung Padang Pyramid is the oldest in the world. And that thing caused controversy. "We all know that Djoser's pyramid or Pyramid of Djoser in Egypt is the oldest". Or rather saying Djoser's pyramid is the oldest existing pyramid. There were some pyramids in Mesopotamia, maybe before Egypt. 

South and Central American Indians built pyramids. But did Egyptians teach that skill to them?  And that thing can tell something about trade routes from the past. There are also suspected pyramids in Antarctica and Bosnia. 

Geologists believe that Bosnian pyramids least partially natural. And if the Antarctean pyramids are man-made, the Bosnian pyramids follow the same building method. However, the Antarctic pyramids are not confirmed to be man-made. The building method in those Bosnian cases was that builders found some suitable hills and then modified them to a pyramid form.

Were Bosnian pyramids some kind of fake Egypt for Roman noblemen? That thing would make it possible to create fake glory for those people, and then if they rise against the Emperor, that thing gives a good excuse for the arrest and execution of those competitors. 


Image above. Giza pyramids and Sphinx. Who made the first pyramids? Nobody knows. 


In some other theories, Romans made those pyramids. The idea is that the place was "mini Egypt" for emperors and wealthy Romans so that they could tell stories about the journeys. Bosnia was close enough to Rome that those people were under control. Military service was the duty of Romans, and that's why somebody wanted to pay, that they would not die in battles. 

So maybe, those pyramids were made to make stories about distant Egypt which was a very exotic place in ancient Rome. At that time there was no GPS and flight routes.

So maybe, the emperor used those fake stories to control his closest men. The fake story would be a good reason to arrest the emperor's competitors. And execute them.  Then we must think: did those people who used that hypothetical Mini Egypt know themselves that they would have some fake merits?

There is the possibility that Bosnian pyramids are naturally formed structures. But there is also the possibility that some people have modified those hills. If those hills are giant sculptures, made by humans that thing makes it impossible to determine their age. In some theories, ancient Bosnians visited Egypt. There they saw pyramids, and then they decided to make them bigger. Just by modifying a couple of hills, to look like pyramids. 

As well as, modern archeologists think that the Great Sphinx in Giza was created by natural erosion, and then sculptures made the head and paws for that thing.  Why did they choose that stone? Nobody knows. 

But if the Gunung Padang pyramids are man-made and as old as Indonesians claim that would be a sensation. And then there is great controversy. As we know many things cause discussions. And Indonesian 27000-14000 years old pyramid is the thing, marked as pseudoscience. Or at least, that article is marked by so-called nationalism archeology. That article caused criticism, and somebody said that it was not peer-reviewed, as it should be. 

If somebody says that Gunung Padang is 27000-14000 years old, that time scale is very long. So is Gunung Padang the oldest pyramid on Earth? That's a good question. The discussions about the oldest pyramid continue forever. Even if the Gunung Padang was built in 45 BC. That thing causes interesting thoughts about that pyramid's origin.  Even if, it's made in 45 BC. That thing makes it interesting. 

But as we know, all new things, said or written against public understanding cause discussions. And that discussion is a very important thing. When we learn something at school, the thing. What we learn is based on knowledge. That writers have at that moment. And then comes new information. Discussions of the pyramids continue.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to  form  the blue giant or too  small  it can collapse  straight  into a black hole . If  the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts.    The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists  model  of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

   "New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at  USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
