Summary



Dr. Danny Hilman Natawidjaja discusses his research on Gunung Padang, an archaeological site in Indonesia. He explains how he used geology and geophysical methods to explore the site and uncover its ancient structures. The research revealed that Gunung Padang is much more than a simple megalithic structure and has multiple layers dating back thousands of years. However, the research faced criticism and the paper was retracted, leading to a delay in further research and funding. Dr. Natawidjaja plans to republish the paper and conduct more comprehensive carbon dating to support the findings. In this conversation, Danny Hilman Natawidjaja discusses the challenges of breakthrough findings being accepted in the scientific community. He mentions examples such as the Altamira cave paintings and the theory of plate tectonics. The conversation then shifts to a discussion about carbon dating and the criticisms surrounding its accuracy. Natawidjaja explains that the focus of the critique is not on the carbon dating methods themselves, but on the association of the samples with human-made constructions. He also discusses the importance of finding charcoal samples for more accurate carbon dating. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the excavation and preservation of archaeological sites, with Natawidjaja expressing his disappointment with the standard procedures in Indonesia.
