Mysteri Of Penataran Temple

2012-07-25T18:12:00.001+07:00

Have never crossed our minds, that Nusantara (read: Indonesia) in the past been a country with a superior civilization in the world at that time? When Europe was still in the dark ages, was the ancestral archipelago has managed to build a masterpiece as can be seen in the temple of Borobudur, Prambanan Temple, and Temple upgrading. A masterpiece that is very complicated in view of the beauty of his art, as well as the difficulty of manufacture. Who can show there is another civilization building in a more beautiful with the intricate detail of the century? Moreover, the archipelago is the most fertile areas on earth because there are lots of volcanoes. Sophisticated agricultural systems existing at the time. Not to mention the terms of the richness of the mines. Such a masterpiece can only be produced by a nation with high culture. Nation with high culture is likely to have a superior military force.
Let us note that there is relief in the temples of this upgrading. There is a battle between the forces that can be ascribed to the archipelago, and the other one is a dress similar to the forces of Americans, like the tribes of the Aztec and Maya.

Do not believe? Alright. Now let us compare a similar fashion forces with the American style of dress of people of the Aztecs and the Maya from the American continent.

Whether the similarity is just coincidence? Alright. Let us look at the details of this relief. Please pay close attention to the red circled sculptures.

Resembles what is sculpture? Yes. Resembles a cactus plant. Compare with a photo next to a cactus plant. Similar is not it? The problem, which comes from a cactus plant? Whether in the archipelago at that time there has been a cactus plant? The answer is no! Cactus plants exist only in the Americas!
Still argued that it was merely coincidence ? Let us look again at the photos below!

See the photo face with tongue sticking relief existing temple reliefs Upgrading! Compare this with the statue's head with protruding tongue in Tlaltechutli, Mexico City! Are there any similarities there? Compare also with Balinese Rangda masks.
Still not convinced? Well, the photos below can silence the skeptics disbelief. Note the two photos below.

Photo at left is a statue Dwarapala (giant gate keeper) who are upgrading temple. However, lies in what "statue Dwarapala" on the right photo? The answer lies in the temple complex Mayan Chichen Itza, which is currently located in the peninsula of Yucatan, Central America. Is not this photo shows a remarkable resemblance?
The next proof is in the following photographs.

The first photo is the "pyramid" contained in Sukuh Karanganyar located in the village, district, Surakarta, Central Java. Photos of the pyramid's side is that there Aztecs in Tenochtitlan, Mexico. This shows a remarkable connection between the two civilizations.
In addition there are many others in the temple reliefs depicting Upgrading the people who "allegedly" is derived from another civilization.

In conclusion, is it true that the ancestors of the archipelago ever connected with the nations of the world? Then if the ancestral archipelago that had set foot on the continent of America, or Americans who have visited the archipelago? The fact is there was no historical record that explains that the nation has a great maritime tradition. Instead, the ancestral archipelago is accomplished sailors. As can be heard on the archipelago of traditional songs, "My ancestors seamen, likes to wade vast ocean .."

Millions of people longing to visit the buildings included in this World Wonder Heritages. Not surprising since architecturally and functionally as a place of worship, Borobudur is attractive.
Borobudur was built by King Samaratungga, one of the king of the ancient Mataram kingdom, descendant dynasty dynasty. Based on Kayumwungan inscription, an Indonesian named Hudaya Kandahjaya revealed that Borobudur is a place of worship that was completed on 26 May 824, almost one hundred years since the beginning of construction. Borobudur own name according to some people means a mountain having terraces (budhara), while the other says that Borobudur means monastery on the heights.
Borobudur building punden shaped staircase consists of 10 levels. Height of 42 meters and 34.5 meters before being renovated after the renovation because the lowest level is used as a buffer. Six levels of a square bottom and upper three circular form, and the highest level of Buddhist stupa facing to the west. Each level represents the stages of human life. Appropriate school of Mahayana Buddhism, anyone who wants to reach the level of the Buddha had to go through each level of the life.
The base of Borobudur, called Kamadhatu, symbolizing human beings that are still bound by lust. Four levels above referred Rupadhatu symbolizes man who has been able to break free from lust, but still tied to appearance and shape. At these levels, a statue of Buddha laid open. Meanwhile, three levels above where Buddha placed inside perforated stupa called Arupadhatu, symbolizing man who was freed from lust, appearance, and shape. The top part is called Arupa symbolizes nirvana, where Buddha is residing.
Each level has a beautiful reliefs that show how skillful. Relief that will be read coherently when you walk in a clockwise direction (towards the left of the entrance of the temple).

Prambanan Temple

2012-02-17T21:01:00.000+07:00

Prambanan Temple as the largest Hindu temple in Southeast Asia, the beautiful and graceful temple of Prambanan is a magnificent spectacle and an icon of Indonesia’s cultural heritage.

Located not far from the Buddhist Borobudur temple, the proximity of the two temples tells us that on Java, Buddhism and Hinduism lived peacefully next to one another.

Prambanan is known locally as Roro Jonggrang, coming from the legend of the ‘slender virgin’. According to the legend once upon a time, there was a young and powerful man named Bandung Bondowoso. He wanted to marry a beautiful princess named Roro Jonggrang. Her father, the king, agreed and forced her to marry Bandung Bondowoso. Butm Sita did not love him yet could not refuse him.

After careful consideration, she thought of a way to refuse Bondowoso, whose magical power was well-known. She decided she would agree but only if Bondowoso built 1,000 temples in one night before the break of dawn.

She insisted that the work must be completed before the rooster crowed, something she believed was impossible. But with the help of genies and his own magical powers, Bondowoso managed to complete 999 temples. Panicked, Jonggrang told the women of her village to start pounding rice so that the rooster would wake up and begin to crow. When Bondowoso heard this he was deeply disappointed and wildly enraged. When he found out that Roro Jonggrang had made the roosters crow, he turned her into stone, The statue of a slender virgin graces the main Prambanan temple, while a group of temples nearby is called the Candi Sewu or the Thousand Temples.

The temples at Prambanan were built in the 9th century. The biggest temple is dedicated to Shiva – the destroyer, and the two smaller ones which sit on its right and left are dedicated to Brahma -¬ the creator and Wisnhu – the sustainer. The tallest temple of Prambanan is a staggering 47 meters high. Its peak visible from far away and rises high above the ruins of the other temples.

After hundreds of years of neglect, the Prambanan temple was rediscovered by CA Lons, a Dutchman, in 1733. Since then, this temple has been revitalized and today is widely regarded as the most beautiful and graceful Hindu temple in Indonesia.

The grandeur, complexity, and integrated architectural concept of Prambanan makes this a truly amazing structure. As a unique cultural and architectural marvel, Prambanan was declared a World Heritage site in 1991 by UNESCO.
