<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The history of Borobudur</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Borobudur was built approximately in the IX century. Borobudur was built by the adherents of Mahayana Buddhism during the reign of Dynasty Syailendra. This <a href="http://indonesianing.blogspot.com/2011/12/gedongsongo-temple.html">temple</a> was built at the height of the dynasty Syailendra. Samaratungga King is the founder of the Borobudur temple coming from dynasty Syailendra. The possibility of this temple was built around 824 AD and was completed around the year 900 AD during the reign of Queen Pramudawardhani who is the daughter of Samaratungga. According to the story down through the generations, the architect who contributed to build this temple is Gunadharma.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Based on the first written evidence which was written by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, who named this temple as the Borobudur is the Governor-General of the United Kingdom in Java. Before that, there is no written evidence that gives a name to this temple of Borobudur. Only one of the oldest document that shows the existence of this temple is Nagarakretagama book, written by Mpu Prapanca in 1365. In the book is written that this temple was used as a place of Buddhist meditation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meaning of the name Borobudur is "monastery in the hills", which comes from the word "coal" (temple or monastery) and "beduhur" (hills or high places) in Sanskrit. According with the meaning of the name Borobudur, so this place long ago used as a place of Buddhist worship.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Karangsambung is a place in <a href="http://indonesianing.blogspot.com/2011/12/menganti-beach-hidden-paradise-of.html">Kebumen</a>, Central Java. there we can find ancient rocks that formed 60-140 million years ago which emerged from ocean floor. According to the geological sciences Karangsambung this happens because once a subduction area, namely the zone of meeting two plates, the Eurasian continental plate and the Indian Ocean plate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Formerly penunjamannya direction from east to west, and the possible connection of the reef extends towards the south Kalimantan have the same characteristics of the rocks caused by shifting plates of the same process. The meeting will menunjam oceanic plate downward due to gravity is higher than the continental shelf. Subduction continued until the bowels of the earth that have a high temperature and pressure, so that the rock be melted and then nothing appears out of the bowels of the earth. Outcrop of ancient rock-outcrop in Karangsambung slowly appear on the surface due to soil erosion. So it can be concluded that Karangsambung was once a rock bottom of the ocean.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But now what happens is the Australian continental shelf from south to north into the Eurasian plate. Meeting two plates is pointed out as the cause of the emergence of a series of volcanoes in <a href="http://indonesianing.blogspot.com/">Indonesia</a> (Sumatra, Java, Bali, Lombok). With the existence of volcanoes, it will be formed from igneous rock-magma.</span><br />
