Candi kedulan

Seperti halnya dengan Candi Sambisari yang berjarak tidak jauh, candi ini ditemukan terletak tiga sampai tujuh meter di bawah permukaan tanah; kemungkinan besar karena tertimbun lahar gunung Merapi yang diduga kuat meletus secara besar-besaran pada awal abad ke-11 (kira-kira tahun 1006). Karena jenis tanah yang berada di sekitar candi terdiri dari 13 lapisan yang berbeda, maka kemungkinan besar bahwa candi ini tertimbun lahar dalam beberapa kali letusan (13 kali). Bagian bangunan induk Candi Kedulan ditemukan pada tanggal 24 November 1993 secara tidak sengaja oleh penambang pasir di lahan gersang yang merupakan tanah bengkok di Desa Tirtomartani.[1][2] Setelah dilakukan pemeriksaan oleh pihak SPSP Prambanan (sekarang BPCB DIY) diketahui bahwa 85% batuan candi asli masih dapat ditemukan meskipun dalam kondisi berserakan. Hal ini mendorong pihak berwenang untuk segera melakukan pemugaran (restorasi sumber :Wikipedia As is the case with the nearby Sambisari Temple, this temple was found to be located three to seven meters below ground level; most likely due to being buried by Lava of Mount Merapi which is strongly suspected of having erupted massively in the early 11th century (approximately 1006). Because the type of soil around the temple consists of 13 different layers, it is very likely that this temple was buried by lava in several eruptions (13 times). Parts of the main building of Kedulan Temple were discovered on November 24, 1993 by accident by sand miners in the arid land which is Crooked Land in Tirtomartani Village.[1][2] After an inspection by the SPSP Prambanan (now BPCB DIY) it was discovered that 85% of the original temple rocks could still be found even though they were scattered. This prompted the authorities to immediately carry out restoration (restoration). source : Wikipedia #Pindleindonesia
