Over the years these temples were raided and looted by tomb robbers or angry inhabitants of the planets. Various artifacts were uncovered, in different states of decay.

The Rakata used their potent Force-powered technologies to conquer and enslave every other species they came across throughout their known galaxy. With their empire expending, they build statues in their holdings to symbolize their rule and show who is in charge to the inhabitants of the planets. Most of these statues like records of Rakata empire were lost due to time, but recently some have been uncovered in a cave that was deep underground on the planet of Corellia.

It was done through meditation, and it has been described on old runes, that it could even carry one's mind to other side of the connection.

In 3997 BCGT, wayward Jedi Exar Kun found ancient Sith scrolls when he raided the Tomb of Freedon Nadd. Freedon Nadd spirit gave the scrolls to Kun after he opened the sarcophagus. With these scrolls, Kun unleashed dark arts on the galaxy, even allowing him to twist living things with the power of the dark side of the Force in to something different, and conjure up horrific illusions to render the enemy useless. After the fall of the Exar Kun, they came into possession of various Jedi knigts, while some of these scrolls were immediately destroyed by the Jedi Order, some were saved as they corrupted the carriers. Some say that like all artifacts that come from the old Sith Empire, these scrolls are conduits of the dark side of the Force. They are written in strange Sith dialect, and the scrolls that have been discovered are practically useless without the right translation.
