RE: Ancient Rocks Relief on Prambanan Temple

in #esteem6 years ago

So the temples were destroyed by earthquakes! But the people living there did not rebuild them. Didn't worship there anymore? Had moved away? Like Mayan temples in Mexico that were abandoned by the people who moved away and then were covered by vines so no one knew they were even there!

Now I am thinking about how history is taught here. We learn about the history of the state we live in, and about the history of our country. That would include a little about English history because we were originally their colony so how we claimed independence is part of the story. This gives us a very narrow idea of history but I guess the schools think that's enough for us to get by on.

I am thinking that for two dynasties to live in harmony they must have had very strong leaders who agreed to keep it that way? They must have chosen peace over invading or controlling the other? How they did that should be taught to all nations!
