The Footprint of Forefathers

The old museum on the hillside now for Krikilan Village Hall. Instead, the new museum was built wider, on the hill that is not less beautiful panorama. Broad museum seems to represent big names Sangiran. But greatness is not worth the lack of collection. There is only one shelf space. A diorama of ancient life complete glass shelves storage fossils. It's unbelievable; Sangiran is an often mentioned in class journal Nature, Scientific American, National Geographic.

Sangiran a legend no less from the East African Rift Valley turned out to be so simple! Most of the collection has been brought to Bandung. Many collections of course has implications for treatment. The overwhelming collection also invite thieves. Less fair also when positive things through observation. Due to limited collection so well organized and systematic. Perhaps the only restriction imposed glorious best fossils are entitled to enter storefront. The names of the inventors involved in the label name engraved fossils. This is a new way. Is the museum finally found a way that is not necessarily tangible appreciation of the material.

The finding fossils in the Sangiran site has a significant meaning in the development of science. But, do not forget, especially for Indonesia, to discuss the science of fossils that are less popular. For simplicity's sake, not a science that can be (directly) to make money. The majority of us, recognized or not, going to school to get a job, to bloat the kitchen and hopefully change the destiny. Field studies crowded prospective students to this day has not shifted from engineering, medicine, economics and law. Consequently appreciation for Sangiran site only minimally

Sangiran dome formation since ancient Lawu Mountain activity, weathering the rain, exfoliate soil, exposure of fossil hunting family Pithecanthropus Stegodon Trigonochepalus (ancient elephant-headed form of a triangle)

Sangiran is situated about 20 km north of Solo. The easiest way to visit the museum Sangiran is to ride a motorcycle. When using public transport, terminal Tirtonadi, Solo, people can take a bus Purwodadi majors (big bus) or Gemolong (bus 3/4). Tell your crew to get off bus at Kalijambe, at the junction the Sangiran. From the junction to the museum by taxi

One of the seven wonders of the world

          Who does not know Borobudur? This Buddhist temple has 1460 relief panels and 504 Buddha effigies in its complex. Millions of people are yearning to visit the buildings included in this World Wonder Heritages. Not surprisingly, since architecturally and functionally, as the place of worship, Borobudur is attractive.
          Borobudur was built by King Samaratungga, one of the king of the ancient Mataram kingdom, descendant of Sailendra dynasty. Based on the inscriptions Kayumwungan, an Indonesian named Hudaya Kandahjaya revealed that Borobudur is a place of worship that was completed on 26 May 824, almost one hundred years since the beginning of construction. The name of Borobudur, as some people means a mountain having terraces (budhara), while the other says that Borobudur means monastery on the high place

          Punden terraces shaped building comprises 10 levels. Height 42 meters before being renovated and 34.5 meters after the renovation because the lowest level is used as a barrier. Six lowest level of a square and three levels above and a circular highest level of Buddhist stupa facing to the west. Each level represents the stages of human life. In accordance schools of Mahayana Buddhism, every person who wants to reach the level of Buddha must through every level of life is.
          The base of Borobudur, called Kamadhatu, symbolizing human beings that are still bound by lust. Fourth levels above referred Rupadhatu symbolizing human beings that have can free yourself from lust but still bound appearance and form. At these levels, a statue of Buddha placed open. Meanwhile, three levels above where the Buddhist stupas are laid in holes called Arupadhatu, symbolizing human beings that have been free of lust, appearance, and forms. The top part that is called Arupa symbolizes nirvana, where Buddha is residing

          Each level has a beautiful relief panels that shows how skillful the sculptors. Relief that will be readable coherently when you walk in a clockwise direction (towards the left of the entrance of the temple). In the reliefs of Borobudur tells of a legendary story, the Ramayana. In addition, there are relief panels describing the condition of society at that time. For example, relief of farmers' activity reflecting the advance of agriculture system and relief of sailing boat representing the advance of the cruise, who was based in Bergotta (Semarang).
          All relief panels in Borobudur temple reflect Buddha's teachings. Therefore, this temple functions as educational media for people who want to learn Buddhism. we invite you to circumnavigate each of the narrow alleys of Borobudur in order to understand the philosophy of Buddhism. Atisha, a Buddhist from India in the 10th century once visited this temple that was built 3 centuries before Angkor Wat in Cambodia and 4 centuries before the Grand Cathedrals in Europe.
         Because of visiting Borobudur and having Buddhist manuscripts from Serlingpa (King of Sriwijaya), Atisha was able to develop Buddhism. He became abbot Vikramasila and taught Tibetans of practicing Dharma. Six manuscripts of Serlingpa was condensed into a core doctrine called "The Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment" or better known as Bodhipathapradipa
          One question that is still unanswered about Borobudur is how the condition around the temple was established and why the temple was found within buried. Some say Borobudur originally stood surrounded by a the swamp and then buried by the eruption of Merapi. Is essentially the Calcutta
