Dieng means "seat of the gods" in Sanskrit, and is a sacred place associated with the ancient Mataram dynasty, which began with King Sanjaya. It has been excavated several times since 1864, and as a result, inscriptions and statues of gods dating from 809 to 1210, as well as the remains of halls and dwellings, have been discovered.
