Sukuh, Indonesia

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

In Indonesia, Central Java, a pyramid called Sukuh was supposedly built in the 15th century just before the conversion of Indonesia from Hinduism and Buddhism to Islam. Yet another one of history's many mysteries. Whatever the date of its construction there are ancient ideas expressed in this pyramid/temple that reach back to the same remote common source as the pyramid/temples of the Americas. So many stories of our past have been concealed; so many stories remain to be told.
