Ok so it's not Borobodor but there lies a massive temple complex right on Jakarta's doorstep between Bekasi and Karawng

Excavation is a long and slow process. You practically take the earth slowly dirt by dirt.

Depressing to see something so historical being left like that, I do hope they restore it.

Erm, actually BOROBUDUR also buried under the soil and ground for over 1 millenia..... The site is finally recovered in 1984 with the help of UNESCO
