Promoting the Borobudur Temple

Into 7 Wonders of the World (Again)


Opening
Peace be upon you all,
Ladies and gentlemen, After a long time we have wondered why Borobudur temple hasn't yet
promoted to be 7 wonders of the world, again. But how it happened? What is the cause of it? What
is the precise problem of Borobudur temple to be removed from 7 wonders of the world's list? I am
here to tell you the story about it.
Topic 1
Okay, Then what is the present 7 wonders of the world right now?
1. Christ Redeemer: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
2. Great Wall of China: China
3. Machu Picchu: Peru
4. Petra: Jordan
5. Pyramid at Chichn Itz: Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
6. Roman Colosseum: Rome, Italy
7. Taj Mahal: Agra, India
What do you think? Are these more wonderfully great rather than Borobudur Temple. Okay let's we
discuss about it one by one. Number one is Christ Redemeer, is that statue older than Borobudur?
Of Course not. You can say that was the most fabulous statue ever made by mankind in 20th century.
And our old Borobudur temple is inexorably incomparable with that whiny/naughty___holy statue.
The temple had been built in 7th century ago. Then about great wall, where is the exact artistic
value? That wall was built long time ago had only one function that was to defend China from
Mongolian Invasion. In the other hand Borobudur temple's functions was to be a sacred and holy
place. To fulfill that function the temple was purposed to have artistic value. With that value the
temple could attract many Buddha followers to pray in there. The evidence is the relief that attached
on the temple's wall. To craft a scene, just one scene, was extremely difficult at that time.
What about Macchu Picchu? For your information, those building is just a ruined village on
the top of the hill now. There's no more left except, foundation of houses. Look at the Borobudur,
we have everything. Every structure, every relief, and maybe we can get the stolen buddha heads
from that temple.
Petra is just a big stone mount that was crafted to be a building. The main differences come
from Borobudur temple is that Petra Jordan got every resources from one source (that was the hill)
but the temple needs more than one source (those was, andesit stone, hill, many labor force, and
many architect to design those epic reliefs). To be comparable, the difficulty in making Borobudur
is so far more tricky than Petra.
Pyramid at Chichn Itz is less comparable than Borobudur temple, at main
