However there are a lot of question marks surrounding this statement. For example, the Cetho temple has been built with river stone, although most temples during Majapahit times were build with red sand stone. Also the reliefs and statues are very simply carved if compared to the usual Majapahit reliefs and statues at other places, which were done very detailed.

This shows that Cetho temple should be even older.

There are also some statues at the Cetho temple showing a traditional Javanese person, but rather an Assyrian or Sumerian individual.

At Sukuh temple, there are several humanoid bird statues positioned around it. Most of them have lost their heads, but one bird man statue is still intact and it resembled the Mayan birdman.

Based on this, there is every reason to whether ancient people from Assyria or Sumer visited Indonesia.
