Notes About The Poem

IMAGE: Unknown artist's DALL_E conception of Gunung Padang.

Pyramids

The pyramid at Giza 
is ancient they say,
but is it oldest
on the worldwide grid?

Some others say nay,
consider Java's Gunung Padang
built 27,000 years ago
a new study shows.

Archeologists raise their eyebrows,
they scoff and snort,
we must surely investigate 
those most moronic upstarts.

They question timelines ordained
by us long ago;
we can't be usurped
by those deluded pretenders!

Congrats, Chetta. That was very informative and poetic too. Time to bury the pretenders in the Pyramids.

Thank you. It was as a challenge to write, but fun even though I had to do some research.
