ANCIENT CIVILISATION DEVASTATED BECAUSE OF MOUNT MERAPI ERUPTION

ALONG THE RIVER OF KALIWORO

In 1900 AD vulcanology expert estimate that Merapi Mountain erupted awfully and cause some ancient civilization by then become to vanish. Estimated also because of that eruption the biggest temple in Indonesia Temple Borobudur collapse and some other temple piled up by Merapi Mountain material . From some existing sites we found alongside Kaliworo river , we can see and estimate that its hoard deepness can reach 5 - 6 metres under the sand. And then estimated by that the eruption happened continually in a masive scale. That way population of human being or Hindus community decreased constanly , yea… they evacuated to the savest place.

In river Kaliworo were found two small Temple sites, those sites was found by two man who mined stone and sand, and possibilities there are still some other ancient sites which await to be found. Those temple estimated as hindu temple , it was small temple only 3 x 3 metres .It is true if we seen from the number of temple which spread over Prambanan Temple we can conclude that there was a big civilization which the center itself in Prambanan Temple.
