Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
They did it again. They scanned the most impossible temple in the world to prove that archaeology knows absolutely nothing. Uncovering unexplainable tool marks in some of the hardest natural rock known to man that we can't even achieve with our modern tools today. If you thought the pyramids were impressive, this is about to run circles around you. This is Kailasa Temple in India. And it wasn't even built. It was carved out of the side of a mountain. This entire temple is essentially one solid piece of rock that they worked around to create a functional monolithic complex with the most detail in anything you've ever seen, along with unique acoustic properties where the slightest hum reverberates into a body vibrating chant. Thought to be intended for sound healing purposes, or possibly even the construction method used to build this, as well as functioning drainage and carefully engineered ventilation systems, which were all carefully thought out as part of the original design, not something they just added on after. Mathematically and artistically perfect pillars that stand over 100 feet tall that they would have had to dig around to create, all in an area as big as a football field, going 100 feet straight down into the point. Mind you, they did this all as a single piece of rock carved into a mountain, meaning there was no room for error. Just like sculpting a statue out of marble. If they messed up, they'd have to start all over again. Removing an estimated total 400,000 tons of rock, more than the entire weight of the Empire State Building, which no one can explain. Because all of that rock just disappeared. We have no idea where they put it and no traces of it anywhere. 400,000 tons is a lot of rock to just go missing. This is just one of many among India's mysterious Ellora caves. Over 30 temples, all of which were carved into the side of the mountain. What makes Kailasa different from the rest was that it was built from the top down, defying all rules of conventional architecture. Simply put, the way this temple was built is by every sense of the word, unexplainable. Historians will tell you it was built sometime around 756 to 773 AD, but as always, that's just an estimate. Even less accurate than the timeline of the pyramids. As the main source of dating for this temple were land grants, exactly two land grants inscribed into copper plates that were found hundreds of miles away. These copper plates acted as official documents of legal ownerships back in their day. And all these plates did was glaze their king Krishna the first for commissioning the construction of the temple, which would have dated it sometime around the 8th century AD. But the plates also contained inscriptions that both boast the temple was so breathtaking that even the gods flying overhead, celestial chariots, stopped to admire it. Gods flying overhead, celestial chariots. I wonder what they were referring to over here. And according to similar legends, this temple was built in just one week. But no, no, no, that part was just made up. Yet the actual dates on the copper plates, those were real. Can you see how this gets a little questionable? Which is why it's widely considered among the open-minded that this temple was built a lot longer ago using technology that surpasses ours today. Well, that's because the most impressive part is that this temple is made of basalt. Hardened lava, which if you didn't know, is hard as a motherf***er. Ranking between a six and seven on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it as hard as granite. Just as unexplainable as what the ancient Egyptians quarried. They even ran an experiment using modern steel pickaxes on the basalt to see how much rock they can remove in 10 minutes. They timed it and the results show that you would have to swing away at it for three years straight, just to remove a cubic meter of it. Officially, it said this temple took 18 years to build. At 400,000 tons of rock removed, that would require 5 tons per hour, assuming 12 hour shifts for 18 years straight. 5 tons per rock per hour. Modern steel pickaxes have been shown to remove about 3 tons in three years. Can you see how those numbers just don't add up like at all? And given the tight football field sized area they were confined to working within, they were also limited to how many people can work on this at once. So you can't just say, oh, they had hundreds of thousands of slaves working on this. That would be physically impossible. To put into perspective, in the 1600s, the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, definitely butchered, commanded an army of a thousand workers to destroy Kailasa Temple as a sort of cultural cleansing of that area after he conquered it. Three years of this army of a thousand workers hacking away at it with steel tools, their mission failed. Because of how strong the rock was, so they called it off. They did a bit of damage to the statues and scratched off some details, but proved how hard this temple is to even chip, let alone carve out of a mountain from scratch. Now, new investigations reveal some interesting tool marks throughout the temple with consistent grooves over an inch deep into the rock, meaning a lot of force was involved. Today, we would need industrial grade hydraulic machines to achieve anything close to this in basalt rock. And these tools also couldn't just be massive. They had to be precise too. The amount of detail they carved into the basalt, being nothing short of mind-blowing. Artistic precision like this in a material as hard as basalt would require diamond tipped high power drill bits to achieve today. Yet they did it over a thousand years ago with chisels and hammers. Now, in Hindu mythology, they claim this temple was built by a deity called Vishwakarma, the divine architect. According to legend, was able to manipulate and work with solar radiance, translated into divine instruments that they used for the temple's construction. Which, honestly, sounds a lot like laser technology to me. Ancient laserz. Implying that this is how they built the great Kailasa Temple in ancient India, using forgotten knowledge from previous civilizations or possibly even alien technology. Which, honestly, makes more sense than the poor excuse of an explanation modern archaeology gives us. But who knows, maybe they're right. Maybe don't just believe what Google tells you. You fucking debunkers. Love you guys. They claim this temple was built by a deity called Vishwakarma, the divine architect.
