Ratu Boko is an archaeological site known to modern Javanese as Kraton Ratu Boko, believed built in 8th - 9th AD. The original name of this site is still unclear, however the local inhabitants named this site after King Boko, the legendary king mentioned in Loro Jonggrang folklore. In Javanese, Ratu Boko means "Stork King". Ratu Boko displays attributes of an occupation or settlement site, although its precise functions is unknown. Probably the site was a palace complex which belongs to the kings of Sailendra or Mataram Kingdom that also build temples scattered across Prambanan Plain. The argument was based on the fact that this complex was not a temple nor building with religious nature, but a fortified palace instead which evidence in the remnant of fortified walls and the dry moat as defensive structures. The remains of settlements also founds in Ratu Boko vicinity. Since the pillars, walls, and the roof were made from easily decayed material such as wood, sirap (wooden shingles roof) or ijuk (fibers collected around the trunks of Areng palm, Arenga pinnata). Only the stone base still remains while the organic wooden material of the building is gone.

Old World Wisconsin turned out to be a pleasant surprise for our grandson and us. It was really enjoyable to see what life was like in the late 1800s on the farm and in the rural town. It was also and excellent opportunity for my camera to grab some unique shots that you just don't see everyday. Enjoy this trip into the past as my family did.
