An Ancient Pyramid? The World’s Largest Buddhist Temple: Borobudur, Indonesia | Ancient Architects
This amazing ancient temple in Central Java, Indonesia, is one of the most incredible ancient wonders of the world. What we are looking at is Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist temple, likely built between 760 and 830 AD during the Sailendra Dynasty rule over the Mataram Kingdom.
Borobudur consists of nine stacked platforms, six of which are square and three circular, with a central dome on top. It is decorated with an incredible 2,672 relief panels and 504 statues of Buddha, including 72 that surround the central dome, each seated inside a perforated stupa.
The foundations are square, measuring 387 feet on each side. Approximately 55,000 cubic metres of andesite stone was worked from neighbouring quarries to build it.
It’s no surprise that today, this is an important site for Buddhist pilgrimage, an incredible architectural achievement and the most popular tourist destination in Indonesia.
