candi

Twenty-two small gold plates with divine symbols and characters have been unearthed in central Java, a large island in the Indonesian archipelago. When archaeologists went to investigate, they found a candi (Buddhist or Hindu temple) in the same location as the stone box in which the gold plates were discovered. Workers constructing a water aquifer project struck gold when they found the box with the gold plates that date to the 8 th century AD, says a story about the find on The Jakarta Post online.
