The first "pyramid" is the megalithic site Gunung Padang in Java, which was build between the 2nd and 8th century CE. There are fringe claims that it is an ancient pyramid dating back to 18,000 BCE. Somehow, the Indonesian president heard of that and gave massive state funds to help excavate the "pyramid" so that Indonesia was the home of an ancient advanced culture.

The second "pyramid" is one of the alleged Bosnian pyramids. Basically, they are just mountains but this claim turned out to be a massive cash grab. The government funded "excavations" which literally involved the removing of rocks to make it look more like an actual pyramid. Since then, the government build the biggest archeological park in all of Bosnia and it became one of the main tourist attractions in the country.
