Howdy y'all, welcome back to the channel.
Today we will be diving back into a civilization referred to in my last video, sometimes called
the Land of 1000 Cities as written by Strabo.
That land became known as Tartary, a demographic of people who arose from the ancient lands
north of India.
In my last video, which I highly recommend you give a watch, we discussed the research
of Higgins and his spectacular Anacalypsis in which he describes the origin of the earliest
intelligent men, and in his highly educated opinion, these earliest men and the ideas
of education and religion itself stem from these lands north of the Caucasus Mountains.
The Saka, the Sakai, the Saxons, the Sassanach, the Celts, the Tartars.
One thing becomes apparently clear in our research of these tribes, while throughout
the mainstream education that many of us have received, we have been taught that these earliest
groups were loosely conceived tribes with pagan beliefs, and they had little to offer
in the way of architecture.
What we have actually uncovered, in our years of research into the old world, is not only
were these earliest tribes very intelligent, they were also highly educated, with meticulous
measurements of the sun and the stars, which they used to not only navigate the world,
but to also develop their earliest form of proto-religion, a sort of sun deity worship
which according to Higgins and countless others, became the basis for all other later religions.
In doing so, the Tartarians, as we'll call them, or the earliest men of intelligence
north of India, became, according to many, the earliest human beings to create elaborate
architectural creations.
In many mainstream accounts of these designs, we are told that these feats of engineering
took centuries, and many times what we see today is, similar to the castles described
in Europe, said to be countless rebuilds of the same structure over centuries.
But just as we do with the castles that we discuss in Europe, we must also here weigh
the idea that the earliest versions of these structures could have actually been very similar
to the ones that we still see standing today.
Throughout my videos, we have established the ability of the earliest tribes, whether
in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, America, Africa, etc, really anywhere, we see these
tribes, they had the ability to, and often did, construct massive earthworks.
History will tell us that these structures were rudimentary, and built as burial mounds
and pagan worship centers.
What we see in the earliest photos and depictions of these indigenous people and their creations
is that many times these said to be simple constructions are actually vastly built temples
and elaborately designed earthworks which coincide almost perfectly with the alignments
of the stars, the moon, and the sun.
The proof is in the pudding, so to speak, and the sheer amount of evidence that shows
the profound knowledge of the ancients, as well as the ability of the ancient tribes
to build with both brick and massive stone blocks, shows just how ingenious their designs
and their abilities really were.
In my opinion, a great example of this ancient architecture that seemingly could not have
been rebuilt or restored multiple times, as it was apparently unknown or lost for hundreds
of years, is the Borobudur or Kandi Borobudur in Central Java, Indonesia.
In today's video, we will briefly discuss this amazing structure, while showcasing the
oldest and most unique photographs that I could locate of Borobudur.
Borobudur is the world's largest Buddhist temple.
According to the mainstream narratives, Borobudur was constructed sometime during the 9th century.
However, according to these same narratives, there is no concrete evidence as to when exactly
Borobudur was constructed, as the statues inside are the only reason for the temple
being dated to the 9th century.
This would give the credit for its construction to the Salendra dynasty, who ruled over the
Mataram kingdom, which during the 8th century would have encompassed Central Java, as well
as parts of Thailand, the Philippines, and North Malaya.
It's a very interesting narrative that we're given here to say the least.
While we have all of these estimates, which historians now seemingly agree upon, like
the Borobudur took 75 years to construct, we also have facts that are presented in the
narrative, and I quote,
There is uncertainty about Hindu and Buddhist rulers in Java around that time.
End quote.
If you've watched my last video or some of my other videos, you'll understand that at
one point, history seems to allude to the fact that Hinduism and Buddhism lived harmoniously
together.
According to some scholars, like Higgins and the Anakalypsis, these two religions even
rose directly with one another, as in the same group of people were worshipping the
same deities before they split off into two separate religions.
That being said, while modern historians are trying to find evidence to create distance
between these two religions, on my channel, we have become aware that the proof seems
to agree with Higgins' interpretation that these ancient religions lived and worked simultaneously
with one another.
We are told that the Kedu Plain is full of Hindu and Buddhist temples from this time
period, and nearly all of them have inscriptions and statues of deities from both ancient religions,
implying that both lived in peace, or more likely, that the temples date back to before
the splitting of the religions and the beliefs, back to the time of the ancient Sakka, the
Tartarians, who built the mounds and the temples.
But I digress, the temple itself is absolutely immense.
We even have confusion down to the name of the structure.
Originally, it is said to be known as Kandy, Borobudur.
We are told Kandy is an ancient word, and after a little bit of research, it derives
from ancient Sanskrit.
Kandy refers to an ancient or mysterious structure, and could also be applied to gates and bath
temples as well.
It makes you wonder, is there a reason that the word Kandy, in more modern times, became
so popular to mean something almost entirely different?
Etymology will tell us that the name Kandy derives from ancient molasses treats that
were called Kandy, but even that word stems from the idea and the word Kandy that refers
to ancient, mysterious structures.
Diving into this further, Borobudur could either derive from Buddha, meaning ancient,
plus the word Bore, which was the name of the nearby village to this structure.
We are told that most of the Kandys were named after the closest nearby village.
However, other historians argue that Borobudur means Honorable Buddha, and even more modern
historians take the name as a literal translation of ancient Javanese, Budera, meaning a mountain.
The construction and inauguration of a sacred Buddhist building, possibly a reference to
Borobudur, was mentioned in two inscriptions, both discovered in Kedu.
The Kerintanaga inscription, dated 824, mentions a sacred building named Jinalaya.
As mentioned in my last video, the Gin, or Jin, or Seijin, or Seigin, or Seijis, are
all ancient names for the Saka, the Sakai, the Celts, the Saxons.
Again, if you haven't watched that video, according to a cornucopia of ancient sources,
the earliest men, the horse tribes, the Vikings, they all stemmed from these hives north of
India.
This coincides very nicely with the inscriptions that say that the largest and most mysterious
Buddhist temple was named Jinalaya, which means the realm of those who have conquered
worldly desire and reached enlightenment.
The temple consists of nine stacked platforms, six square and three circular, topped by a
central dome.
It is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues.
The central dome is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated stupa.
The pilgrim journey begins at the base of the monument and follows a path around the
monument, ascending to the top through three levels symbolic of Buddhist cosmology.
Kamada Hatu, the world of desire, Rupad Hatu, the world of forms, Arupa Hatu, the world
of formlessness.
The monument guides pilgrims through an extensive system of stairways and corridors with 1,460
narrative relief panels on the walls and the balustrades.
Borobudur has one of the largest and most complete ensembles of Buddhist reliefs in
the entire world.
The demise of Borobudur, much like its creation, is relatively unknown.
What we do know is that apparently, when this structure was rediscovered by the British
after their conquest of Java in the early 1800s, it was nearly completely covered in
jungle and volcanic ash.
We do not have exact details given, much to our chagrin.
We also do not have any photographs from Borobudur as it was first discovered in the early 1800s.
By the time photography comes to Java from the British Empire in the 1870s, Borobudur
has already been uncovered or dug out completely.
We are told a slew of volcanic eruptions between 928 and 1006 had King Sindhak of the Medang
Empire move his kingdom to East Java.
Historians will agree that this is, in all likelihood, when Borobudur was abandoned.
However, we have mentions of Borobudur, more specifically, the first rendition of Borobudur
being depicted and being called Borobudur occurring as late as the year 1365.
This implies to me, if the entire structure was at one point covered up with volcanic
ash and jungle, as it was discovered in the early 1800s, that this most likely occurred
after 1365, as the structure was still relatively well known up until that time period.
According to other narratives and other historians, it was not volcanic ash that hid Borobudur,
but was in fact the Muslim conquest of Java, which eventually reached Borobudur during
the 15th century.
Some historians believe it was a meticulous effort to hide Borobudur which successfully
led to the structure being relatively forgotten from the late 14th century through the early
1800s.
Now, here is where, and I don't know if it's incompetence at the time or just the
way that the history was written to make us feel dumb about it, but we are told that Java
was ruled by the British directly from 1811 to 1816.
That's all fine and dandy, but then we are told Lt. Gov. Thomas Sanford Raffles, who
was in charge of Java at this time, was told by a local person of a mysterious location
that was hidden deep in the forest which contained untold riches.
Then, based off of this report, Raffles, instead of going himself, spreads word of this legendary
monument without ever seeing it or knowing that it existed.
He then hires a treasure hunter and engineer by the name of Herman Cornelius to find this
location.
Cornelius, then over a period of months, burns down most of the forest, cuts down hundreds
of trees, until he and his 200 men apparently find a giant earth mound.
They begin to dig away at the mound.
Underneath, they begin to see Borobudur as we see it today.
Cornelius begins to explore the little portion of Borobudur which he has revealed, and in
the interior he sees statues and other valuables.
At this point, it is written that he and his men leave and they report back to Raffles.
From here, according to the narrative, not much happens.
It sounds absolutely ridiculous.
We are told that they discover Borobudur.
It's absolutely massive.
It's all covered up by earth, basically an earth mound.
And they start digging away at this earth mound.
And inside, they find all of this intricately built construction.
And instead of exploring it more or excavating it more, they basically leave.
They report it to who paid them to be there.
And from there, we don't hear anything about it for another 20 years.
At this point, Raffles, who has never actually seen this location in person, shares his discovery
with the aristocratic circles of the world.
But basically decades pass without any significant exploration or even digging out of this structure.
That is, until Christian Hartman, roughly 21 years after the initial discovery of the
mound, decides to dig out the entire monument.
However, we are told Christian Hartman's experience was entirely personal, meaning
he hires all the workers himself out of pocket.
And according to this narrative, he documents zero of what he experiences and zero of what
he discovers.
Now, is that believable at all?
We're told one man, basically in secret, hires a team to uncover the largest Buddhist
temple in the entire world, which is completely buried in what is said to be an earth mound.
And upon doing so, while conducting all of this meticulous research and activity, he
and his team are said to have documented zero of what occurred, zero of what they did and
zero of what they found.
They didn't even take down sketches or drawings or anything.
No writing of what was discovered and no letters to anyone about what he found.
That's what is written in this mainstream narrative.
Essentially, one guy who we know nothing about, uncovers this monument by himself, dug it
out perfectly with his team, kept all the secrets to himself and died without ever sharing
anything that he had seen or discovered.
We are not told what relics, if any, were taken or found at this site.
And all of this, for reference, is said to have occurred in 1835.
So this entire structure was dug out and uncovered in 1835.
That was months before the book Anacalypsis, discussed in my last video, was published
to the world for the first time.
What a coincidence.
The next big thing that occurs in the history of Borobudur is rather sketchy, if I do say
so myself, because we're told that nothing happens for nearly the next 25 years until
1859, when the Dutch East Indies government hires Frederick Garrett Bremond to take a
detailed survey of the structure for that government.
While Bremond makes detailed sketches of Borobudur, and while the camera was the most
popular device in Great Britain at the time, having first made an appearance at the World's
Fair roughly a decade earlier, in 1859, we are told that zero pictures of Borobudur were
taken or could be taken.
Why is this?
No reason is given.
We are told the first photograph of Borobudur was not taken until late 1872, roughly 22
years after photography was introduced to Europe, roughly 60 years after Borobudur was
rediscovered, and roughly 1,000 years after Borobudur was said to have been built.
Crazy numbers, right?
What's more?
During this rediscovery period in the late 1800s, when these photographs were first taken,
a hidden foot was discovered.
I had to do a little bit more research to figure out exactly what this meant, but essentially,
beneath the Borobudur is a more hidden chamber that contains many corridors full of artwork.
Within the hidden foot, and this is but one corner of the entire superstructure, are depictions
of what many people in modern society would consider to be hell.
Remember, these are hidden chambers beneath the structure, which according to modern historians
were never meant to be accessed or discovered.
These corridors are double reinforced, with an extra wall in between them.
The purpose of these reliefs, these carvings, depicting some of the world's most heinous
and egregious crimes and punishments, is relatively unknown, but also depicted alongside them
are good and genuine acts of kindness, which also shows the positive influence of those.
So, this hidden foot is only a tiny portion of the entire underground structure.
Due to this being found, and from the deterioration which caused this discovery, it was decided
in 1902 to restore the Borobudur.
The restoration was completed from 1907 through 1911.
From this time and into modern times, the Borobudur has been restored and upgraded.
Following the major 1973 renovation funded by UNESCO, Borobudur is once again used as
a place of worship and pilgrimage.
Once a year, during the full moon in May or June, Buddhists in Indonesia observe Vesak
Day.
The monument is the single most visited tourist attraction in Indonesia.
In 1974, 260,000 tourists, of whom 36,000 were foreigners, visited the monument.
That figure climbed to 2.5 million visitors annually in the mid-1990s.
But, with that, we're getting into more modern times and modern history, so I think
I'm just going to wrap up the video there.
But what do you think about Borobudur?
Can you see this monument being part of the ancient kingdom?
The one described in my last video, the Kingdom of Ancient North India, also known by many
as Tarturi.
What do you think about the rediscovery of this massive structure?
It sounds like a bit of a tall tale to me, or a legend, as we discuss the world's largest
Buddhist temple essentially hiding inside a massive mound said to have been created
by volcanic ash, which caused it to remain hidden before it was somehow miraculously
found by the British Empire and uncovered in the early 1800s.
Could you really imagine a structure of this size being buried and rediscovered and uncovered,
and if that is in fact the truth, could this indicate that all around the world we could
possibly have superstructures like this right below our noses, so to speak?
I think, with all the other videos I've made on the massive earthworks of the indigenous
peoples around the world, that we can begin to see that these earthworks could have been
even more intricate than my earlier videos have discussed.
But I'd love to hear your thoughts and your comments about the Borobudur down below.
If you'd like to reach out to me directly, or support the channel, you can do so here,
and I would really appreciate that.
That means the world to me.
I also wanted to give a huge thank you to Goodlander, to Drumstick, to Logan Roth, to
Brian Moses, and all my other supporters this month.
You guys are absolutely the best.
Next week, I'm looking to have some in-the-field content to present with you.
I've been going around trying to film different monuments and locations near my hometown.
They're all really historic and really mysterious locations, so I'm hoping to be able to present
those with you very, very soon.
I look forward to being able to hear your new ideas and chatting with you about Borobudur
in the comments down below, and I will speak to you very soon on the next video.
Cheers!
