THE ROCKS ON MOUNT PADANG ARE NATURAL ROCKS RESULTING FROM ANCIENT VOLCANIC ACTIVITY
By: Hamly Hadi
(History Observer)
The rocks at the Mount Padang site are mostly a type of igneous volcanic rock called Andesite, which naturally forms a unique structure called Columnar Joints, namely hexagonal or multi-angled columns formed by ancient volcanic activity.
No traces of human activity, such as carvings or cuts, or even human engravings, were found. All the columnar joint rocks on Mount Padang are still in their natural form, the result of natural processes.
The West Java Provincial Government has also stated that Mount Padang is not a pyramid.
These types of rocks are also found in many areas on the island of Java and abroad.***
