For example, relief of farmers' activity reflecting the advance of agriculture system and relief of sailing boat representing the advance of the cruise, who was based in Bergotta (Semarang).

Borobudur was built by King Samaratungga, one of the king of the ancient Mataram kingdom, descendant of Sailendra dynasty. Based on the inscriptions Kayumwungan, an Indonesian named Hudaya Kandahjaya revealed that Borobudur is a place of worship that was completed on 26 May 824. But anyway There are several versions about the time of construction of Borobudur. Some contend, Borobudur construction period is estimated to take about one century, between 750-847 AD in 3 generations of ancient Mataram kingdom Buddhist Sailendra dynasty. The construction of this temple began during the Maha Raja Sri Sanggramadananjaya Dananjaya the title, followed by his son, Samarattungga, and completed by his granddaughter, Dyah Ayu Pramodhawardhani.

Meanwhile, according to Prof. JG. De Casparis, based at Middle Reef inscription mentioning years of its establishment, the Year Sangkala: sagara kstidhara taste, or Caka year 746 (824), or during the Sailendra dynasty that glorifies God Indra. Casparis estimate Borobudur temple built by King Samarattungga in the year 824 AD Based on the inscription Kulrak (784M) temple construction was completed in 847 AD, that is, by his daughter, Queen Dyah Pramudawardhani.

In practice, the construction of the temple was assisted by a teacher from Ghandadwipa (Bengalore) named Kumaragacya, and a prince from Kashmir named Visvawarman as an expert advisor in the Tantric Vajrayana Buddhism. Architecture that creates the temple, by speech communities named Gunadharma .almost one hundred years since the beginning of construction.

Some experts said that the position of the Borobudur Temple is located at an altitude of 235 meters above sea level. This is based on studies of the geologists who are able to prove that Borobudur at the time was a large lake area so most of the villages located around Borobudur Temple were at the same height, including Pawon and Mendut.

While the foundation of philosophy and religion invented by Stutterheim and NJ. Chrome, ie about Buddhism Mahayana Dharma-Yogacara and there is a tendency also mixed with a flow-Tantric Vajrayana. According to the survey-ethnologist Austrian anthropologist Robert von Heine Geldern, the ancestors of Indonesia already familiar with the culture in the Neolithic and Megalithic era from South Vietnam and Cambodia.                                                                              History of the origin of the name Borobudur, some antiquities experts expressed different versions. According to Prof. Dr. Poerbotjoroko, Borobudur comes Bhoro and Budur said. "Bhoro" is derived from Sanskrit which means complex "temple, bihara or dorm," while the word "budur" refers to the language of Bali, "beduhur" which means "above." This opinion is corroborated by Prof. Dr. WF. Stutterheim who argued that Borobudur means "bihara on top of a hill." While according Casparis, based Middle Reef inscription, Borobudur comes from BhūmiSambhāraBhudhāra, which in Sanskrit means "Hill set ten levels boddhisattwa virtue."
