The ruins above the plains of Ratu Boko hold questions that are difficult to answer. The multi-part complex makes people who come here speculated about the true function of the site. One of the clues that can be used is the legend of Ratu Boko (The Disappearing King) who shelters the place.
A Dutch archaeologist named N.J. Chrome tries to find the truth over the famous Legend of Ratu Boko, figuring out whether the story is inspired by a real-life kingdom. Krom wrote based an inscription with a name called Nagari used by a family named Sailendra found in the palace site. Krom also writes that the ruins of Ratu Boko are found in a bush area with two quarries where there are stones used to build temples in the lowlands.
