Abandoned in the 11th century and partially excavated by archaelogist in the early 20th century, Borobudur temple is well known all over the world. Influenced by the Gupta architecture of India, the temple is constructed on a hill 46 m (150ft) height and consists of eight steps, like stone terraces, one top of the other.
