Nghiên cứu về 'Kim tự tháp' cổ đại ở Indonesia bị rút lại

The American publisher of a study that challenged scientific orthodoxy (tính chính thống khoa học) by claiming that an archaeological site in Indonesia may be the world’s “oldest pyramid” says it has been retracted (rút lại).

The October 2023 study in the journal Archaeological Prospection made the explosive claim that the deepest layer of the site, Gunung Padang, appears to have been “sculpted” by humans up to 27,000 years ago.

Gunung Padang is widely considered a dormant volcano (núi lửa không hoạt động), and archaeologists say that ceramics recovered there so far suggest that humans have been using it for several hundred years or more — not anything close to 27,000 years. The pyramids of Giza in Egypt are only about 4,500 years old.

Some archaeologists said in interviews that they welcomed the retraction. But the study’s authors called it “unjust,” saying in a statement on Wednesday that their soil samples had been “unequivocally established as man-made constructions or archaeological features (đặc điểm khảo cổ),” in part because the soil layers included artifacts.

People from Indonesia have long traveled to Gunung Padang, a hilltop site dotted with stone terraces, to hold Islamic and Hindu rituals. A domestic narrative portraying it as a very, very old pyramid had support, and financing, from the central government during the administration of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who left office in 2014. His successor, President Joko Widodo, cut off the funding.
