in the recent 3 months, 2 ancient have been found in my regency area. some indonesian and French researcher have been digging it for identifying the size and real shape. but they report that they must be huge, even not as big as borobudhur or prambanan. in the past, south easter asia, including Philipine was area for hindu and budha kingdom and they are well know for their temple building (called "Candi"). actually there are many buried temple in indonesia, as indonesia has very long history of hindu budha civilation before the coming of islam in the 15 century. it is just like a national treasure.

srivijaya (sriwijaya in bahasa indonesia) was in sumatra and malay peninsular, but majapahit was rooted in java, especially in east java, the capital. this temple was from the era before majapahit
