During a geological survey in the Palouse River canyon in 1965, Washington State University Geologist Roald Fryxell and Archaeologist Richard Daugherty explained, a bulldozer they were using scraped bare some bone fragments. Forgetting their survey, they began digging carefully at the site and uncovered other bones, some animal and some that were finally identified in 1967 as human skull fragments. Still picking away in a 10-ft.-deep shaft last month, the scientists found two additional major skull fragments, finger and wrist bones, rib fragments, an eye socket and what is probably a leg bone, enabling them to confirm that...

Then in 1907, a Dutch military engineer named T. Van Erp began digging out the ancient ruins. Van Erp laid bare the magnificent carvings and in four years reconstructed Borobudur in its entirety. Only the floors were new. The rest was all there to be put back into place, including some 3,000 pieces of statuary, 432 balustrade niches and 72 latticed stupas, each with its own Buddha image...
