Borobudur Temple, in Central Java, is the largest Buddhist Temple in the world, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was build sometime between 800 and 900 AD, and soon after was completely buried by the volcanic ash of Mt. Merapi. It lay hidden for years, until it was "rediscovered" by Sir Stamford Raffles in the late 1800's. It was almost completely disassembled, the base reinforced, drainage put in, then reassembled using no mortar as in the original construction.
