Curiosity lead me to google "oldest human remains" and the are found in the region near Indonesia.

Newfound pieces of human skull from "the Cave of the Monkeys" in Laos are the earliest skeletal evidence yet that humans once had an ancient, rapid migration to Asia.
Anatomically modern humans first arose about 200,000 years ago in Africa. When and how our lineage then dispersed out of Africa has long proven controversial.
Archaeological evidence and genetic data suggest that modern humans rapidly migrated out of Africa and into Southeast Asia by at least 60,000 years ago. However, complicating this notion is the notable absence of fossil evidence for modern human occupation in mainland Southeast Asia, likely because those bones do not survive well in the warm, tropical region.
Now a partial skull from Tam Pa Ling, "the Cave of the Monkeys" in northern Laos helps fill in this mysterious gap in the fossil record. [See Photos of "Monkey Cave" Fossils]

This information goes with questions about human evolution, and I think the idea that we spent a period of time in the water, makes sense.  The path from Africa to Loas and Indonesia is along coast.  The point being, if the migration out of Africa resulted in modern man evolving in coastal areas, we might expect to find the oldest civilization along this route.

Here is an even better site.  It doesn't matter what the mountain is made of, and this site will help you see the possibility that it is a man made pryamid.  The U tube is in Indonesian, not English but all the information presented, paints a possible connection with other civilizations including Atlantis. because of the possible connections between the pryamids in Egypt and Peru, and the connection of this temple site and the one in Peru, I am believing the possibility of these sites being colonies of a forgotten civilization.

You linked to an Above Top Secret thread. Did you have a particular post (with a youtube link) in mind?

The thread itself is just a retelling of the article plus the Wiki, plus the super easily found fringe stuff I've already found. Nothing that is convincing that there is a 10,000 year old structure here. If anything there is a much younger burial tomb perhaps dug into the hill. Perhaps dating to the time of the stonework on top, about 1500 BC, or... about 1000 years After the Giza pyramids.

Finding ancient carbon is not especially hard. Forest Fires were common and no one was there to put them out.

The Above Top Secret link connects with several U tube videos.  If you watch through the first one, you can choose the one especially about the pyramid.  But these are Indonesian videos, so I don't know what they are saying, another one explaning the Atlantis connection has Indonesian words flashed but not voice.  This is frustrating but I don't know of any better u tube videos.

Let's hope that someone in Indonesia is able to get permission to dig and they put in a very narrow shaft to these chambers and see what is what. If they are a real human made structure, I'm sure Indonesia would love to have the claim to oldest structure. And, if it turns out to be a natural hill, then no harm done to a natural hill by digging into it.

I certainly agree with you.  These mysteries set my curiousity on fire, and I always what an answer.

I wonder what technologies they've used to see through the soil.  Perhaps that shotgun attached to a tire that is used to find fossils(?).  This article definetly needs more details.

That was a movie thing.
Ground penetrating radar would be able to give us an idea of of shape, if there's anything there.
