There is still much to be investigated about the relationship of this temple to temple in other countries, such as India affiliated Sangsekerta posts in Kamasutra book and the building of the Maya in Central America. Try also consider building Inca culture in Peru. Sukuh impossible when there is no relation with the culture of other countries. How is it possible in countries very distant, to create buildings and ornaments erostis almost the same as in Sukuh?

RAMAYANA BALLET YOGYAKARTA


Ramayana Ballet Show at Yogyakarta, a romantic atmosphere to see Ramayana Ballet performance with Prambanan temple views as back ground stage the dancer. This Ramayana Ballet (read : traditional javanese dance) is deliberatelly presented without dialogues and narrations, such a puppeteer comments, and relies instead on dance expression alone to tell its story. Through that physical expression, it is expected that foreign audiens who didn't know the javanesse or Indonesian will still be able to comprehend the story's messages. The term "Ballet Ramayana" that was in use until about 1962 was changed to "Sendratari Ramayana" following suggestion of Anjasmara, a playwright. The word sendratari is an abbreviation of the words seni (art), drama (play), and tari (dance) which together mean a play that is presented in dances.

Fort Wilhem I Ambarawa



Semarang tours. Wilhem 1 Ambarawa fort, Semarang is een van de aantrekkelijke toeristische bestemming, met een prachtig bouwwerk is nog steeds solide, is een levensvatbare aanwinst voor de geschiedenis te bewaren.

Ambarawa stad is een van de districten in Semarang regentschap. Naast bekend als files, is de stad ook bekend voor het hebben van een belangrijke geschiedenis in Midden-Java. In de jaren 1840 toen de VOC-gezag in Midden-Java, Ambarawa een strategisch aspunt tussen Semarang en Surakarta. In het begin van de 18e eeuw, de VOC bouwde een fort langs de Semarang - Oenarang (nu Unggaran) - Salatiga - Surakarta (Solo). Dit ontwerp is bedoeld voor de ontwikkeling van de betrekkingen met het Koninkrijk van Mataram. Militaire kampen werden ook gebouwd in de steden, die voorbij is, niet in het minst Ambarawa.

semarang tours - Fort Wilhem I Ambarawa
Tijdens de regering van kolonel Hoorn, in 1827-1830, was er een militaire kazerne en de opslag van militaire logistiek, en in 1834 bouwde een modern fort in Ambarawa, die later werd genoemd Fort Willem I de bouw eindigde in 1845. Niet veel dat kan worden gewonnen over de geschiedenis van Fort William I's, en sommige bronnen zeggen dat dit fort was een militaire kazerne KNIL met de trein verbonden met Magelang / Yogyakarta en Semarang. In het algemeen werd het fort gebouwd door het principe van een sterke defensieve en die bestemd zijn voor de verdediging tegen vijandelijke aanvallen. Vaak vond ook gebouwd loopgraven rond het fort te verdedigen maximaliseren.
Maar dit bleek Fort Willem heb ik een ander ontwerp. Met veel ramen, zeker niet in het ontwerp van dit fort voor de verdediging. Mogelijkheid was een militaire kazerne en opslagplaats voor militaire logistiek. In dit kasteel zijn ook niet uitgerust gebouw als een schild. En geen spoor van de eerste opening aan de top van de piek en de vestingmuren van de Portugese fort dat is ontworpen om het kanon te zetten.
