History of Borobudur Temple
Borobudur Temple is estimated to have been built in the 8th century, precisely around the 750s AD during the reign of the Syailendra dynasty. Its construction is estimated to last about 75 years until it was finally completed during the reign of the king of Samaratungga. Borobudur Temple is located on a beautiful green hill where you can see other green hills around it. The building itself consists of millions of stone blocks made into three structures that represent the levels of the universe according to Buddhist philosophy. This colossal building is also decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues.
The temple was built as a real expression of deep respect for ancestors. In addition, the temple building is used as an awareness of the greatness of religion.
The massive eruption of Mount Merapi around 1006 caused Borobudur Temple to be buried by volcanic ash for hundreds of years. Several centuries later, Borobudur Temple was finally rediscovered in 1814 by a Dutch engineer named Hermanus Christiaan Cornelius, when the British empire represented by Thomas Stamford Raffles occupied several parts of the island of Java, including Central Java. After Indonesia’s independence, in the late 1960s the government worked with UNESCO to renovate Borobudur Temple for many years, until UNESCO finally designated the masterpiece as a World Heritage Site in 1991.
