I finally came to this place that has been covered in volcanic ash for thousands of years!

I finally came to the temple that has been covered in volcanic ash for thousands of years This is a wonder of the world. It is one of the four ancient wonders of the East along with Angkor Wat, Taj Mahal and the Great Wall. Neglected for ten centuries, the temple remains strong. Borobudur was buried under volcanic ash and was rediscovered in 1815. In the 1970s, the Indonesian government and UNESCO worked together to restore Borobudur to its previous majesty. The restoration work took 8 years, but today Borobudur is one of the most precious treasures in the world, including Indonesia.
