tak payah pakai mendunia: ancient cities that have survived more than just time

Ancient sites that have survived centuries, or even millennia, haven't fared so well in the 21st century.
The destruction at Palmyra in Syria, the Buddhas at Bamiyan in Afghanistan, and Nimrud's ruins outside Mosul in Iraq show how precarious the future can be.
Here are places that offer glimpses into humanity's past, and the ingenuity that people brought to creating wonders without computers or heavy machinery.
While some are recognizable, others are easily accessible but lesser known.
Borobudur, Indonesia
Foreigners tend to think Indonesian travel as centering on the tranquil island of Bali or the hectic capital Jakarta.
But the most-visited site in this mainly Muslim nation is the ninth-century Buddhist temple complex of Borobudur.
The temple was completed in the early 800s, but much of its history has been lost.
For centuries, it lay covered under volcanic ash, and then the surrounding jungle grew over it.
In the early 1800s, locals told a British governor about its existence.
In the 1970s, UNESCO guided a restoration that brought Borobudur to its current glory.
Now the stupas once again rise among the green valley. Because the complex was buried for so long, most of the artwork remains intact.
