The Lost Temple of Java
When English explorer
Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles travelled to the heart of the Indonesian island of Central
Java in the early 1800s, he found a jungle-covered hill littered with a few statues.
Spurred on by stories of a lost temple, his careful excavation uncovered a massive structure in the shape of a pyramid. Now, following recent renovations, more questions about the temple's fascinating history can be answered.
See today's choices.
