Jakarta - Geneticists and the structure of human DNA from Oxford University, England, Stephen Oppenheimer said that Southeast Asia was the center of civilization in the past. But is it Indonesia and Southeast Asia is a continent of atlantis the lost, Oppenheimer has not dared to make sure.

"I have not seen the pyramids in Garut, I do not comment on it. I have not seen it. But perhaps that Indonesia is the atlantis the lost, but I do not know the evidence for it," Oppenheimer said after meeting with President Yudhoyono at the presidential office, Medan Merdeka Street North , Jakarta, Thursday (02/02/2012).

In his book Eden in the East, Oppenheimer seemed to play the world's history. If all this history records that the parent of modern human civilization came from Egypt, the Mediterranean and Mesopotamia, the Oppenheimer had his own thesis.

Research results, the ancestors of modern humans comes from the Malay is often referred to as Sundaland or Indonesia.

"My point is, without agriculture, domestication and crop growing and animal husbandry, you would not feed many people. It depends on the farmer, Indonesia has a lot of farmers. You need a lot of farmers to feed the people in the city to build a huge monument , the basis of civilization in the fields, farms. my book really is about the earliest evidence of domestication, or the roots of civilization rather than a monument, "he explained at length.

According to Oppenheimer, in the past of Southeast Asia is a continent of solid and does not disintegrate as it is today.

"If you open Atlas, you will see a shallow sea. If you look at the South China Sea, Java Sea, was dry land connecting Borneo, Java, Bali, Sumatra, the Malay peninsula in a single continent," he said.
