Borobudur is a Buddhist stupa and temple complex in Central Java, dating from the 8th century. It is one of the world's great ancient monuments, the single largest Buddhist structure anywhere on earth. Borobudur lay abandoned and hidden for centuries under layers of volcanic ash and thick jungle growth until The British governor Thomas Stamford Raffles instigated its partial exhumation in 1814. I thought it was crowded in 1981 but since it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991 it has become the most popular tourist attraction in modern day Indonesia and a major international attraction. HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day.
