Candi Sukuh built in the 15th century is Java's most striking temple.
The mysterious Hindu temple in shape a pyramid stands almost 1000m above sea level.
The origins of pyramid's builders remain unknown.
There is stone lingam and yoni at the gateway to temple.
Candi Sukuh seems to be isoleted soon after stone complex was completed.
There are many reliefs with Mahabharata heros in the wayang style.
Some of them have erotic look
Some reliefs have damon's faces.
Javanese Hindu characters and Ganesh.
Shall somebody recognize in Candi Sukuh an Inca structure ?
Maybe turtle tables were used as sacrificial alters ?
