These instructions are found in Buyung Cave around Selokelir Temple, in the cave there are several similar carvings and bricks made of andesite. In addition, the great signs of ancient relics before Majapahit were seen in the form of seven terraced buildings and made of andesite. The stones appeared in the Hindu era before Majapahit. The sign was emblazoned on carvings that put forward symbols, floral patterns, and symbols in the midst of society.
This condition is different from the Buddhist era, because the symbols of the greatness of the Buddhist era are usually contained by telling the situation of the community. While the rock conditions in the Selokelir Temple are mostly floral, boxes, and three graffiti on each stone. This fact shows, this temple existed before the Majapahit period.
However, the temple that shows the natural beauty continues to be treated during the Majapahit kingdom. The instructions also appear at the location around the temple with the form of carvings. "But all can not be ascertained, we only read the instructions found," said Akhmad khuzaini, Tim Ubaya Training Center (UTC) assisted by Nurul Hidayati, ArifYudha, and Dian Dwi Cahya. To ensure the existence of the Selokelir Temple does require more evidence.
However, the existence of stones and other clues has strengthened that the Selokelir Temple existed before the Majapahit kingdom emerged. There is even a possibility, this temple existed when the kingdom of Kediri was still victorious. Because the carvings contained in the stone had a similar structure. However, certainty still cannot be done.
Moreover, the condition of the temple stone is irregular. That is, researchers have not been able to conclude because they have not been able to read the storyline for sure the symbols that appear. "This condition seems intentionally made, archaeologists and residents want that there is no theft in this area. If this dig is found, statues can be found in their time. There is also evidence of theft, his head is gone, "said Kusworo Rahadian, Development Consultant for UTC's Learning Learning Program.
Kus, the best call from Kusworo Rahadian explained, from the archaeologist's findings in Selokelir Temple, the terrace sizes have been found. In the terrace, the variety of building decorations is not very clear but on the surface and courtyard of the building are many findings estimated to be part of the building. On the temple yard there is a pile which is part of a building with giant relief ornaments and Portuguese crosses.
There are also lumpung stones which have a diameter of 80 cm and a middle hole of 25 cm, but the height is difficult to know. Even interesting, found a yoni hole (holder of a phallus or statue) in a rectangular shape with a length of 10 cm wide by 10 cm in 10 cm. There is also a bottom stone extolling 25 cm long by 22 cm wide and the upper part measuring 18 cm high 22 cm wide. While the top part of the umpak has a triangular decoration, this swear is estimated for offerings in this temple.
Archaeologists, Kus continued, also found other signs, such as pipisan stones and two swollen stones. The size of the pipeline was 60 cm wide by 35 cm high by 2 cm, while the size of the two swollen stones was the same as the size of a pedestal in the temple yard. Even more interesting, above the Selokelir Temple is a temple called Telo Blandong.
This ancient heritage is also called the well-shaped Telong Blandong Temple which is formed from an andesite stone structure measuring 200 cm long by 200 cm wide in 170 cm. "This temple has close links with the Selokelir temple
