VIVAnews – Borobudur, a magnificent temple in Magelang, Central Java, was expected to be built around the year 824 A.d. by King Samaratungga of Mataram was named the sailendra dynasty. The temple is so heavy it stands foursquare without a single nail has also plugged into the body.

The question has been clear: how building a Borobudur without established hundreds of nails to confirmed his already by, and how heavy rocks that form the Borobudur was appointed to the location of the construction on the Hill?

The sophistication of modern times was difficult to explain the logic behind the construction of Borobudur Temple. Researchers from Indonesia Bandung Fe Institute, try to answer it. Three young researchers, Hokky Situngkir, Roland Mauludy Dahlan, and Ardian Maulana, explains, the construction of the temple using technology based on fractal geometry.

Fractal is a geometric shape that has similar elements as a whole. Form of fractal rough and can be divided in a way that radical. Fractals have infinite detail, and can have a similar structure at different levels of magnification. The term ' faktal ' which is derived from Latin, it was discovered by Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975.

The geometry of fractal that looks at the stupas of Borobudur Temple. As we know, the temple is the giant stupa in which consists of domes and other smaller ones.

Researchers Bandung Fe Institute prove, Borobudur was built with the principles of fractals. But whether the theory of fractals in the past it has been found and implemented consciously by our ancestors, still to be researched further.

"60 Minutes" producer Michael Karzis is the perfect tour guide to take you behind the scenes on the show's Mt. Athos story. Karzis is the son of Greek immigrants and speaks Greek. Those things surely helped as he and fellow producer Harry Radliffe tried to get permission to film a "60 Minutes" story on the otherworldly Mt. Athos, a self-governed peninsula in Greece that's home to 20 monasteries and some 2,000 monks.

But getting permission was no easy task. "The parliament that exists there, the holy community, is the only parliament on the face of the Earth that has been continually in session since the 10th century," says Karzis. "And these are the guys we were looking to get permission from to shoot on Mount Athos."

The Holy Community turned down requests from "60 Minutes." "They said, 'Thank you very much but, get in line,' Karzis recalls. "I mean, the BBC's been knocking on the door for 40 years, the French, the Germans, they've all wanted to come."

They then appealed to the powerful abbots who run individual monasteries on Mt. Athos and finally had a breakthrough.
Watch part one and part two of Bob Simon's report.
"We just built trust," says Karzis. "And they understood that we would do our best to distill the essence of monastic life, the beauty of the place, and what makes Mt. Athos unique in this world."

Once Karzis and Radliffe got their invitation, many more challenges were to come, as you'll learn in this "60 Minutes Overtime" travelogue. It's located in Europe, but Mt. Athos is remarkably difficult to access. The peninsula is only reachable by boat and the surrounding seas can be rough. It's believed that the Virgin Mary herself was shipwrecked there, which is just one of the many things that makes Mt. Athos so sacred to the monks and the thousands of pilgrims who visit each year.

The "60 Minutes" team was also stranded on Mt. Athos when heavy seas hit after the two-week shoot ended. Now back in New York, Karzis and Radliffe still seem moved by their time on the stunning mountain. If you're interested in visiting Mt. Athos as a pilgrim, these "60 Minutes" videos are arguably the best visual record ever created and the best place to start your research.
