Dieng Plateau, Java

Plateau-Diong ('Dieng plateau'), by Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn, Winckelmann and Sohne. Lithograph of the Dieng plateau on the island of Java, Indonesia. It is a marshy plateau in the Dieng volcanic complex. To the left of the picture is one of the Dieng temples - there are eight of these, but it is thought that in the past there were as many as 400, built during the 7th-9th centuries. When they were rediscovered in the 19th century, they were partially submerged in a lake. Lithograph
