QuoteIn Ancient Apocalypse (see part 1 of my discussion), Graham Hancock takes us to Indonesia, to Gunung Padang, a very large, very impressive hilltop structure, built a very long time ago. He argues that the standard archaeological interpretation of the site is wrong, that it has massive underground chambers, like some of the pyramids of Egypt, and that it is at least twice as old as currently

Below is an interesting paper about Gunung Padan.
Unfortunately it does not speak to the details of the
pseudoscience behind it.

Popular writer and fringe archaeologist Graham
Hancock has written a new and extended commentary
about the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis. He is
quite unhappy about how he believes that he and
other proponents of this hypothesis have been
treated by so-called “gradualists” whoever they
are, within the scientific community. The
commentary is at:

According to the claims made by its primary investigator, seismologist Dr. Danny Hilman Natawidjaja, Gunung Padang is the largest and earliest of the great monuments of antiquity so far identified, going back as far as 20,000 BC, and proving that Indonesia (or Sundaland) was the heart of an advanced prehistoric civilization until the post-Pleistocene rise in sea level.

I think this would be an example of what lander means:
It is a good example of the use of horizontal columnar-basalt construction (man made for sure), yet it is not a pyramid. So I guess the point was even *if* Gunung Padang were man made it
