Gunung Padang

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

A radical re-dating has been proposed for Gunung Padang, an eerie megalithic site in West Java, Indonesia. 

The site was originally discovered in 1914, and has long been typecast by the mainstream as less than 5,000 years old -- a date that does not challenge the conventional paradigm. However, new research on the site by Dany Hilman, senior Geologist at Indonesia's Centre for Geotechnical Research, completely overturns this orthodox view. "It's older than 9,000 years," says Hilman "and could be up to 20,000". 

Naturally the mainstream is already fighting back and seeking to discredit Hilman and his team, but we have been seeing these sort of tactics since John Anthony West and geologist Robert Schoch first questioned the orthodox dating of the Great Sphinx of Giza back in 1992. 

Little by little the evidence that discredits the mainstream timeline is piling up -- first the Sphinx, then the 12,000 year old megalithic site of Gobekli Tepe already written about extensively here (e.g.http://goo.gl/cVYvAF ) and spoken of in talks and interviews for the last couple of years puts

 Gunung Padang in context of a gigantic global cataclysm linked to a horrendous cometary bombardment of the earth between 13,000 and 12,000 years ago that honest scientists can no longer seriously deny. 

The policemen of the intellect who dominate mainstream archaeology and history may not be able to maintain their stranglehold on the past for very much longer." - Graham Hancock
