The Candi Sukhu pyramid (candi means temple) is
located on the island of Java in Indonesia.
It is situated on the slope of the Mount Lawu volcano. It is
the only pyramid on the Indonesian archipelago. Each stone in the
pyramid has been tailor made. The pyramid would have been built in or
around 1430 according to archaeologists. Mysteriously, this pyramid was
built using the same architectural principles as the pyramids in Mexico and Guatemala.
Could the same architectural techniques have been applied
independently in countries over 20000 km
apart or did the architect travel to the other side
of the ocean?
