Hai ingin begitu banyak misteri tentang
Candi Borobudur yang sampai kini belum
pernah terpecahkan jangankan misteri
pembuatannya asal-usul nama Borobudur
pun sampai kini masih menjadi misteri
yang tak terpecahkan
[Musik]
Hai kabar yang kita tahu arsitek Candi
Borobudur adalah seseorang yang bernama
gunadharma Lalu siapa sebenarnya
Gunadarma tak ada yang tahu dia adalah
arsitek misterius yang menjadi legenda
turun-temurun hanya berdasarkan dongeng
dan legenda bukan berdasarkan prasasti
sejarah dari Prasasti Karangtengah dan
kahulunan yang dipelajari sejarawan
Belanda bernama Johannes De casparis
diperkirakan pendiri Borobudur adalah
raja Dinasti Syailendra bernama
Samaratungga
[Musik]
Hai casparis memperkirakan Borobudur
dibangun sekitar tahun 824 masehi tapi
baru dapat diselesaikan pada masa Ratu
pramudawardhani sekitar setengah abad
kemudian Banyak fakta mengagumkan
tentang arsitektur dari Monumen Buddha
terbesar di dunia ini Borobudur memiliki
2670 dua panel relief yang konon apabila
dibentangkan akan mencapai panjang 6 KM
untuk membangun Candi ini pun dibutuhkan
sekitar dua juta balok batu andesit yang
dipahat sedemikian rupa sehingga saling
dapat mengunci atau interlock meski
tanpa menggunakan semen atau perekat
apapun digunakan
Hai ibarat permainan Lego Candi ini
disusun indah dengan pahatan-pahatan
relief yang menggambarkan kisah-kisah
kehidupan sebuah Maha karya seni yang
utuh dan luar biasa tinggi nilainya
ajaibnya lagi bahan bangunan dari batuan
andesit ini tidak ditemukan di sekitar
Borobudur artinya membuat Candi ini
harus menyediakan batu itu dari lokasi
yang jauh dari Borobudur batuan andesit
itu harus terlebih dahulu ditambang
Hai di lokasi penambangan para ahli
pahat memahat batu itu menjadi
balok-balok batu yang disesuaikan satu
sama lain agar bisa saling mengunci
seperti Lego bayangkan Bagaimana
rumitnya menambang 2 juta balok batu
untuk kemudian dipahat dengan teknologi
seadanya hanya dengan pahat dan palu
setelah pemahatan selesai barulah
balok-balok batu itu kemudian dipikul ke
kaki Bukit Borobudur Untuk memindahkan
sebuah balok batu itu diperkirakan
membutuhkan empat orang untuk memikulnya
Hai bayangkan berapa ribu jumlah pekerja
yang dibutuhkan untuk itu belum lagi
mereka harus menghitung presisi antara
batu yang satu dengan yang lainnya agar
sesuai ketika dipasang balok-balok batu
itu lalu ditempel di sekeliling Bukit
Borobudur sehingga seluruh Bukit
tertutup susunan balok yang membentuk
bangunan berundak segidelapan puncaknya
di ketinggian 35 sang sebuah tumpah
inilah Borobudur mahakarya Agung yang
menjadi bukti bahwa bangsa ini pernah
mencapai puncak keindahan seni
arsitektur yang luar biasa bahkan pada
zaman yang belum mengenal Apa itu
teknologi rancang bangun
