A Journey to Reflect on History at Borobudur Temple in Indonesia

Built between the 8th and 9th centuries, the temple remained hidden in the forest from the 14th to the 19th century. To this day, the reasons for its construction and the methods used remain shrouded in mystery. Why not visit and ponder the history and the thoughts of those who built this magnificent site? 🥸
