C5 The Borobudur

Anaxtra crouched down and took a handful of soil.

"The soil we are climbing is not soil, it is more like sand or ash debris that hardens for a long time," Anaxtra said.

"According to records I have read, in a country called Indonesia there is a largest temple in the world called Borobudur, this temple was built almost 2000 years ago in the Wangsa Syailendra, was buried almost 1000 years when the Indonesians managed to rediscover and make repairs because many buildings were damaged."

Peter and Lilia crouched down listening to Anaxtra.

"I have also read the story, I think that Borobudur story is just a fiction essay," Peter added.

"If it's true that this mound is Borobudur, there should be a big setup in the middle of the mound."

"You're right!" Anaxtra said.

"Borobudur is a temple where Buddhist worship, not just the people of Indonesia, on certain days of celebration, all Buddhists in the world flock to this place to worship."

"The technique of making Borobudur temple is also very complicated, they divide into 3 levels according to the spiritual realm in Buddhist cosmology."

"The first level which is the basis is called Kamadhatu, where it is depicted that the world is still ruled by weak passions, the second level consisting of 4 terraces with square-shaped hallways is named Rupadhatu, on this floor we will find various kinds of reliefs on each wall, while outside there are hundreds of statues of Buddha statues."

"In this section, it describes the level of ability to master lust, but still fixate on form."

"What about the third part?" Lilia asked impatiently.

Anaxtra took a breath for a moment,

"The third part is the fifth to seventh steps, they call it Arupadhatu."

"Unlike the previous part, the Arupadhatu wall has no reliefs. The shape of the terrace in the form of a circle filled with small stupas numbering in the tens, this level symbolizes humans are free from all desires and bonds of form and likeness, but have not reached Nirvana."

"And at the highest peak of Borobudur, there is a large setup without relief, this level illustrates the absence of a perfect form. This is the highest level in the human spiritual realm."

Peter and Lilia nodded again at Anaxtra's explanation. Still half curious, Lilia asked again.

"Borobudur was built at the end of the first century, then had sunk and rediscovered a century later, if it is true that this is Borobudur, is it a coincidence that those of us who lived in the third century found it?"

"It could be a 1,000-year cycle," Peter said.

"Maybe," Anaxtra said bracingly.

"According to the records I read also, around the year 2000 our earth had a disaster because there is a Nibiru planet that emits plasma energy, this emission resulted in changes in the earth's core, increased seismic and volcanic activity resulted in volcanic eruptions that submerged part of the land and some were buried by fragments of mountain eruptions."

"But the record has not been proven to be true," Peter said.

Anaxtra sighed as she stood up,

"We'll know the truth after digging the mound!" Anaxtra said as he pulled out a laser weapon next to his thigh.

"Don't be rash!" prevented Lilia while holding Anaxtra's wrist.

"If you're not careful, you can damage a building that is a historic site of the world."

Anaxtra reassessed his weapon,

"You're right!" replied Anaxtra.

Peter smiled mockingly towards Lilia, "Don't your brain work, do you have a better idea?"

Lilia shrugged her shoulders and got off her flying Surfboard.

"You just look at what I'm going to do with Charli!"

Lilia raised her left hand above her chest, then from her left wrist, attached like a rectangular watch, opened and formed a monitor.

Peter and Anaxtra who wanted to see what Lilia would do also got off their respective Flying Surfboards and walked beside Lilia.

"Okay, Charli! Try to scan the object in front!" Lilia gave the order to Charli, her Flying Surfboard.

Charli then floated by herself and flew around the high mound in front of her. Like the eyes of a tiger watching its prey, Charli observes each part of the mound, occasionally stopping to look from a different angle, then spinning back to where it was.

While from the monitor in Lilia's hand, they could see the shape of the building inside the mound, the way it worked was very simple, like the sensors at the airport, Charli emitted X-rays that were able to penetrate the mound, then displayed visually to the monitor in Lilia's hand.

"Wow... What an incredible!" said Lilia, who watched from her monitor a large bell-shaped building upside down.

"It was the main Stupa that was in the middle and the highest mound," Anaxtra said.

"Look! Below it there are also many stupas that have the same shape, it's just that it has a smaller size and is arranged in a circular circle around the main stupa," said Peter amazed.

"You're right, Peter! There are at least 3 circle-shaped mounds that contain stupas smaller than stupas on it. Maybe this is the part called Arupadhatu."

"Try to slide it even further, Lilia!" said Peter curiously.

Lilia rubbed her monitor screen upstairs to see the image below.

In this section, it is seen on the screen of monitor 4 steps in the shape of a rectangle with many reliefs engraved on the wall, while above the wall there are statues of Buddha lined along the wall.

"This is amazing, Anaxtra!" said Lilia in amazement.

"This is truly a priceless historical relic, it is only fitting if in the record mentions, Borobudur Temple is one of the seven wonders of the world."

The three of them were still unnerved by what they saw before their eyes.

"Can you show me even more, Lilia?" asked Anaxtra.

Lilia shook her head, "The bottom of this temple is buried deep underground, the heap is very thick and almost hardened fused with the stones that befell her, I think Charli is very difficult if she has to display objects buried at the bottom of the ground."

Lilia ended her speech along with closing the monitor screen on her left wrist, without being ruled, Charli flew back and landed not far from Lilia's side.

Peter sighed, "What next are we going to do, Anaxtra? Are we going to dig that mound?"

Anaxtra had not had time to answer, when suddenly a beep came out of the alarm attached to his belt.

Anaxtra immediately touched his temple. Then the glasses-shaped monitor screen came out and displayed a radar diteksi that captured 5 red dots flying towards them.

"Something is heading our way," Anaxtra explained.

"Hurry up! We have to hide," Anaxtra exclaimed later.

The three immediately ran for shelter, after finding a large rock, they took cover behind it.

Anaxtra was still observing from the radar monitor screen that was still on.

"Those 5 red dots are heading here; it looks like it's the same as the one I saw before."
