        "content": "<p>A claim regarding the discovery of a temple in the Cimahi region of\nWest Java has gone viral on social media, causing a public stir. The\npost even suggested that the discovered site is larger than the\nBorobudur Temple in Magelang, Central Java.<\/p>\n<p>In a video uploaded by the Instagram account <span class=\"citation\" data-cites=\"wearehistorian\">@wearehistorian<\/span>, several individuals\nare seen exploring a plantation-like area. Amidst the lush vegetation, a\nhand is seen uncovering parts of a site believed to be buried\nunderground. The caption stated that the discovery is under public\nscrutiny, with claims that the complex might exceed the size of\nBorobudur. However, it noted that researchers are still undergoing\nexcavation and scientific studies to confirm the size, age, and function\nof the structure.<\/p>\n<p>The post did not specify whether the location refers to Cimahi City\nor Cimahi Village in the Purwakarta Regency, West Java, nor did it\nprovide a precise village or sub-district. However, it has been\nconfirmed that no such temple discovery has occurred within Cimahi\nCity.<\/p>\n<p>The Chairman of Tjimahi Heritage, Machmud Mubarok, stated that the\nposts regarding the temple discovery in Cimahi are incorrect and\nmisleading, especially as numerous other Instagram accounts have\nreshared the video. \u201cIt can be confirmed that this is a hoax; it is not\na temple discovery in the Cimahi area. Furthermore, the account claiming\nto be historians is fraudulent,\u201d Machmud said when confirmed on\nWednesday (29\/07\/2026).<\/p>",
