Gunung Padang Is Not A Pyramid: Does Anyone Double-Check Anything Anymore? - Pseudo 129
Episode 129
Published 2 years, 6 months ago
Description
In today’s episode, I have rushed over to the microphone to give you a stern rebuttal to the current pseudoarchaeological silliness surrounding Gunung Padang, a non-pyramid (natural geological formation) located in Indonesia. Graham Hancock’s current pseudoscience abomination (the idea that this is indeed a super-old pyramid) has fooled more people than usual, helped tremendously by lazy reporting. The bummer with this one (which often happens) is that when it’s debunked, the debunking will not make the news, and I will have a generation of people asking me “But what about that pyramid in Indonesia?” - all thanks to the Graham Hancock Misinformation Machine.
