The Hidden History of Advanced Technology in the Borobudur Era on the Earth Archipelago, Indonesia

 

One of the wonders of the world, the Borobudur Temple are the relics of the ancestors of the Indonesian people. In addition to its architectural splendor, it turns out that the Borobudur temple still holds many unsolved mysteries.

The Borobudur temple, mentioned on the Trusty page, was first discovered in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the British governor general who later ruled Java. The temple is estimated to have been built for 100 years.

Borobudur, a magnificent temple located on a hill 40 km southwest of Yogyakarta, 7 km south of Magelang, Central Java, was built around AD 824. from Samaratunga, the former King Mataram of the Sailendra dynasty. With a height of 34.5 meters and an area of ​​15,129 square meters, the largest temple in the world looks imposing and weighing 1.3 million tons, it stands "solid" without a single nail attached to its " body".

It is not clear how the temple was built until now. However, according to archaeologists' observations, there was a giant stupa in the middle of this temple. Fearing that it would collapse due to the intense pressure, this huge stupa has been transformed into a large stupa with 3 levels of small stupas around it.

Until now, there are still some things that remain a mystery about the founding of the Borobudur Temple. The construction technique of the Borobudur temple is one of the mysteries that cannot be solved so far. How to make Borobudur without hammering hundreds of nails to strengthen the foundation? As is known, no concrete was used in the structure and construction of the Borobudur temple, and an interlocking system was used that could be glued without glue, such as Lego blocks.

The complexity of today's technology has not been able to solve this mystery. Various studies by archaeologists have led to the emergence of different theories about the technology of temple construction. Some time ago, three young Indonesian researchers from the Bandung Institute theorized that technology based on "fractal geometry" was used in the construction of the Borobudur temple.

A fractal is a geometric figure with similar, coarse and radically divisible elements as a whole. Fractals are infinitely detailed and can have similar structures at different magnifications. The Borobudur temple is a giant stupa made up of other small spiers. From the results of the study, it was established that the Borobudur temple was built on fractal principles.

If the civilization and technology of the archipelago had already reached the peak of "development" in the ninth century, it would be difficult to logically accept the "miracle of nature". It was 11 centuries before the experience of the Western nation. The gold rush as it stands now, because the term "fractal" comes from the Latin, was actually discovered by Benoit Mandelbrot only in 1975.

Therefore, it is very likely that the civilization of the archipelago reached the pinnacle of world civilization during the 9th century. This is supported by historical records of the archipelago, which reached the pinnacle of primeval glory in the 4th century (7th-11th century) of the kingdom of Srivijaya. The victory of Srivijaya is a symbol of the prosperity of civilization, science and technology of the archipelago, including the period between the construction of Borobudur and the Syailendra dynasty. This graph subsequently declined and reached its lowest point with the arrival of the invaders in the archipelago at that time with the collapse of the Sriwijaya kingdom.

As is well known, Portugal in 1511, Spain in 1521, VOCs in 1602 (later captured by the Dutch government in 1816) and 500 years of colonization in history mean that the civilization of the archipelago was in the lower valley. . Under Dutch colonization for 350 years, the archipelago was in the "Dark Century" before the "doomsday period" occurred in the early 20th century. The Dutch government's moral policy of 1901 led to the "Renaissance" era, including investment in education for citizens and various political changes.

Is it possible for advanced technology and civilization to return to their former glory? Nothing is impossible. The time will come when that glory will be replaced by your return to the archipelago world.
