Hi want so many mysteries about
0:15
Borobudur Temple that until now have never been
0:17
solved let alone the mystery of
0:22
its creation the origin of the name Borobudur is
0:26
still an unsolved mystery
0:31
Hi news we know the architect of
0:35
Borobudur Temple is someone named
0:36
Gunadarma Then who is
0:39
Gunadarma really no one knows he is a
0:43
mysterious architect who has become a legend
0:45
passed down from generation to generation only based on fairy tales
0:48
and legends not based on
0:51
historical inscriptions from the Karangtengah Inscription and
0:59
Dutch historian named Johannes De Casparis
1:03
it is estimated that the founder of Borobudur was the
1:05
king of the Syailendra Dynasty named
1:10
Hi Casparis estimates that Borobudur
1:13
was built around 824 AD but was
1:17
only completed during the time of Queen
1:20
Pramudawardhani about half a century
1:23
later There are many amazing facts
1:28
about the architecture of the largest Buddhist monument
1:30
in the world Borobudur has
1:34
2670 two relief panels which are said
1:38
to reach a length of 6 KM
1:43
to build this temple it also took
1:45
around two million blocks of andesite stone
1:49
carved in such a way so that they
1:51
can interlock or interlock even
1:55
without using cement or any adhesive
2:01
Hi, it's like a Lego game. This temple is
2:04
beautifully arranged with
2:05
relief carvings depicting the
2:10
complete and extraordinarily high value masterpiece.
2:13
What's more, the building material from
2:16
andesite stone is not found around
2:18
Borobudur. This means that to build this temple,
2:22
the stone must be provided from a location
2:24
far from Borobudur. The andesite stone
2:34
Hi, at the mining site, the
2:36
sculptors carve the stone into
2:38
stone blocks that are adjusted to
2:41
each other so that they can interlock
2:43
like Lego. Imagine how
2:46
complicated it is to mine 2 million stone blocks
2:48
and then carve them with
2:51
simple technology, only with chisels and hammers.
2:56
After the carving is complete,
2:58
the stone blocks are then carried to
3:00
the foot of Borobudur Hill. To move
3:04
a stone block, it is estimated that it
3:06
takes four people to carry it.
3:10
Hi, imagine how many thousands of workers
3:13
are needed for that, not to mention
3:16
they have to calculate the precision between
3:19
one stone and another so that they
3:21
fit when the stone blocks are installed and
3:27
Borobudur Hill so that the entire hill is
3:29
covered in an arrangement of blocks that form a
3:31
building. octagonal terraces, the peak is
3:34
at a height of 35 meters,
3:39
this is Borobudur, a great masterpiece which
3:42
is proof that this nation once
3:46
extraordinary architectural beauty even in an
3:49
era that did not yet know what
