THE MYSTERY OF BOROBUDUR, JAVA, INDONESIA
Borobudur is located on the island of Java, Indonesia. This magnificent Borobudur temple is the world’s biggest Buddhist monument, an ancient site widely considered to be one of the world’s major wonders. The old temple sits majestically on a hilltop overlooking lush green fields, near large hills. Likely built in the 9th century during the reign of the Syailendra dynasty, the temple’s design reflects India's influence on the region, yet there are enough elements used to make Borobudur uniquely Indonesian.
