Buried?

edit

The caption on the picture says, "Sambisari temple buried 5 meters underground". Funny, it doesn't look like it's buried. -Freekee (talk) 22:26, 6 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Looks like somebody fixed this. The new caption is better. AlbertBickford (talk) 01:55, 2 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Sambisari is a 9th-century Hindu temple located about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) east of Yogyakarta, near Adisucipto International Airport. The temple was discovered in 1966, buried approximately 5 metres (16 ft) underground; it is thought to have been covered by volcanic ash from Mount Merapi. Parts of the original temple have been excavated.Photograph: Chris Woodrich

Karyowinangun Comment Suggestion

edit

Karyowinangun is mentioned in the second paragraph, but there is no indication what it is. A town or other geographic area? A person? Can someone add couple of words of explanation? AlbertBickford (talk) 01:54, 2 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Statement is unclear

edit

"Was" or "is"? The statement below is not clear about whether or not this outer wall still exists or is no longer. Looking at the photo it would appear that the wall is still there. If this is true then the statement is wrong in saying "was". Which one is it?

"The Sambisari complex was surrounded by a rectangular wall made from white stone measured 50 meters x 48 meters."
