Prambanan Temple, Jogjakarta

in #travel5 years ago

Hi Steemians

This is the Prambanan temple in Jogjakarta. Its a Hindu temple from 9th century. We arrived at around 12 noon. The sunniest and hottest time of the day. Many people offered umbrella for rent

It is around 10km away from our hotel

It consists of many temples and each has different names

People can go inside to have a look

Some temple ruins caused by earthquake, some have been restored and hopefully all will be restored in the near future

It's always nice to visit historical place from thousands of years ago. There is another famous temple that we visited not far from Prambanan which is a Buddhist temple also from the 9th century.

Thank you for viewing

The temples are so massive and spooky looking, like they were built by aliens from another planet.....

Thank you edkarnie, yes it's almost hard to believe humans could build these 1000 years ago

Hi @edkarnie,they say that the aliens will come to choose intelligent people to learn from them, I see that they have already chosen you, they can learn a lot from you and you from them, I hope they learn to draw your comics.
Blessings and happy Saturday.

wow those temples look awesome thanks for sharing, now thats what I call architecture will stay for thousands of years to come

Thank you bitcoinman, restoration is underway to restore the ones in ruin

Thats very cool maybe they will restore some of it by the time I get to see it

Maybe one of these days I will be able to see. Until then, I travel vicariously with you :-)

@djohan,
Most of these countries were Buddhist, but later converted to Islamic! Feeling sad about that! Anyway you made a nice visit and those relics are the proof that these countries had amazing culture and civilization before!
