The Plateau is home to eight petite Hindu temples from the Kalingga era on record.[3]:79,90 Their construction dates are somewhat obscure, speculated to be sometime between the middle of the 7th century and the late 8th century AD; they are the earliest known erect stone edifices in Java.[4] Initially, it was believed there were 400 temples, yet only eight have survived.
