Gunung Padang is a megalithic site located in Karyamukti, Campaka, Cianjur Regency, West Java, Indonesia, 30 kilometres southwest of the regency seat or 8 kilometres from Lampegan station. It has been called the largest megalithic site in all of Southeastern Asia, and has produced controversial carbon dating results which, if confirmed, would suggest that construction began as far back as 20,000 BCE.In a 2014 Kompas.com report, archaeologist Harry Truman Simanjuntak suggests that the site may have been built much more recently, perhaps sometime between the 2nd and 6th centuries CE.
