Ancient site of unknown origin. Some say it's 5000 years old or older. Locals say the most recent myth is that it was a prayer site of the lost king Prabu Siliwangi who fled his Hindu kingdom of Galuh from Muslim invasion. Despite the pyramid-like shape of the mountain with its pentagonal metalic stones, no human bones are found here.

Have you heard & tried one of its singing menhir stone? Close your eyes & gently hits the stone in rhyme, you won't believe your ears that the sound comes from the stones :)
It's a magical place. Digging the story from the local guide and you'll be amazed. How can the place with the story of thousand years can be built? With hundreds of big stone arrange into certain levels high with the shape of pyramid. And the energy is awesome. On the top, the view is amazing. Surrounded by the mountains near the site
A mystical place, it may at first seem to look like a simple ancient ruins, but as you learn further about the area, you get to know the mysterious aura surrounding the place. How it was built? How were these ancient people able to cut stones that easily? How is that they are even able to develop such complex structures for such complex functions, such as for rituals and meditation? All these questions are answered when you ask the local guides there, yet they don't speak much English, so you must use Indonesian.
