Another postcard signature

There is no written record of who built Borobudur or why it was built

Likely founded as a religious site in the 8th century at the peak of the Sailendra dynasty

The construction is thought to have taken a period of 75 years and completed in about 825 AD

72 stupas housing half-hidden Buddha statues

Many headless, some lost entirely

Borobudur lay abandoned and hidden for centuries under layers of volcanic ash and thick jungle growth

The bulk of the structure consists of four square terraces

Each terrace has reliefs in two layers on both sides

Recounting the story of the Buddha*s past lives and his enlightenment

The *correct* way to view the reliefs is to start from the east gate and circulate clockwise

Carved reliefs in Borobudur*s lower terraces

Many of the Buddha are without head
