Strange Structure on Google Earth

Pretty cool channel...
To save you time, about 15 minutes in, is when he arrives at destination
What I found odd is about 17 minutes in....
Can you spot it? A hint...it is inside

Only thing i spotted was the star (perhaps star of david) so not sure if that is a common symbol in Buddhism or not. Looking into it only found to be part of the one world religion symbol.

I thought it looked more like an Old West lawman's badge.

I recommend reading through the comments, lots of interesting observations and the English translation of the plagues on the front of the temple. One commentor said he thinks the kid went to a different structure than what he showed on Google Earth.

Lol, I was referring to the "Blue Monk" statue in the temple...

Clearly Buddhists

Thought the same thing lol. The building seemed like it was moved from another location or camera trickery to appear more remote. It was wired for electric, but no power lines clearly are coming up the mountain so if that location is used, the cord on ground was for a generator. Certainly seemed like a 'tourist trap' and not an actual temple.

I am watching the video now, a good idea for a YouTube video. My first thought was it looked like a picnic table.

What a great watch! A very nice-looking temple for the location. I really like this kid; I would watch more of his adventures.

It does seem to be a different location. The view of the structure from above seems far more flat than the domed one in the video. First glance before watching the whole video was it was a weather station that was shown on Google Earth. There is a back road not far from here that upon driving down, you pass a pretty decent size 'golf ball' structure surrounded by woods. It is fenced off and of course has US government signs, so radar type installation i'm guessing. There is an air base within so many miles of it, so makes sense.
