Hey guys, look at this statue in an ancient temple. What is going on here? You can see 2 figures, and they seem to be hugging each other, in a strange, intimate position. But when we look closely, it does not seem to be a man and a woman, rather, both of them are females. Is it a mother and daughter hugging each other? No, both of them appear to be grown women with fully developed breasts. What is the meaning of this carving? Look at the hands of the woman in the front. Why has she bent her hands behind her back and kept them in such an elevated position? This is not easy, but if you look carefully, you can see a smile in her face. Behind her, the other woman is completely leaning on her, and her arm is kept around the bottom of this woman. What I find interesting is her hair, it seems to be carved until this point, but it doesn’t end here. It then curves up and makes a huge circle, which encompasses both these women. Can you explain this carving? And then you can see something weird in the outer circle. Is this an animal carved inside the circle? Is it a bunny rabbit? Yes, it is a rabbit, isn’t it? Why is it carved here? And here, you can see a 2nd rabbit carved on the other side. This is very odd, because we can see a total of 5 rabbits. Here is the 3rd rabbit, and if you look carefully, you can see the 4th rabbit. Now, can you see the 5th rabbit? How about now? Do you see the 5th rabbit now? This is the mother rabbit, and those 4 rabbits are her babies.
This carving is found in the ancient temple of Tirukurungudi and nobody, none of the locals, not even the priest knows that this shows a rabbit. So I think I have just discovered an ancient optical illusion after many many centuries.
This is why I don’t trust carvings in Hindu temples, because we are not able to fully understand their complexity. Ancient Indian temples are full of many unexplained carvings, and both casual visitors and experts are quick to dismiss them as meaningless or superstitious carvings.
You may think this is the end of it, but what is the connection between these women and rabbits? Rabbits are symbols of fertility and reproduction, it is easy to understand this if you ever had them as pets. A Rabbit is used as that symbol since ancient times until today’s playboy right? But what is the deeper meaning? Why are these 2 humans making up an animal?
Take a look at this statue, who is he? Immediately, you realize that there is something strange about him. He has many faces carved all over his body, you see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 faces carved on his body. Firstly, we missed observing these 2 faces on the sides, secondly, we are completely missing the point of the carving itself. Look carefully, and see how many animals are carved on his body? In the rabbit illusion, humans made up the animal, but this the opposite of that, animals make up this figure. Look at that nose, it is not a nose, but a Lizard. And the Lizard is shown grabbing his moustache, but the moustache is actually made of 2 fish. His lower lip, is also possibly made of fish, but it is destroyed, and look at his chin, is that a crab? What is a crab doing on his chin? His eyes are quite scary, and staring into them can be a challenge? But his eyes – Are they snails or are they turtles? His ears are unusually large, and they are made of 2 peacocks and on top of his shoulders you can see 2 hooded cobras. The bodies of these 2 cobras are intertwined to make his dreadlock hairdo. His shoulders are made of 2 crocodile like animals. Even his genitalia is made of something strange. Can you guess what it is? Is that a turtle sticking out its neck? and you can see the 2 bells at the bottom. You can see another snake here, and unfortunately his legs have been destroyed, and we don’t what else we missed. Who is he? Locals call him Rudra, but this is Lord Pashupathi, the God of all animals. It is said that when Pashupathi or Shiva came to earth, he tamed all animals and taught humans how to domesticate some of them. So, this is a symbolic representation of him having complete control of all these animals.
Now, look at these women, they appear to be dancing as a group. But when you start zooming out, you realize that they all make up a horse. This is not an easy task, see how the eye of the horse is carved, and notice the ears. These 2 women have put their hands up and they look like the ears of the horse. And look at how this woman is holding a towel, ancient builders were insanely clever and artistic. On top, there is a warrior, he is the only man in this carving, you can see his moustache and he is holding a bow. He is not a part of the horse, he is mounted on top of the horse. Here is a similar carving from another ancient temple. Again a bunch of women, apparently beautiful dancers, making up a horse. The exact same theme, and you can see how this woman is not only holding a towel at the bottom, but also a large fly whisk called chamara which makes up the horse’s tail.
Today, many people are inspired by this type of illusion, and they make a lot of paintings, This is a pot made of a bunch of women, but you can see that there are lots of gaps between their bodies. While ancient builders strove for perfection, today’s similar art, needs more dedication. These women make up a bull, and you can see that it is not perfect. Here is a piece of cloth, that looks really good. A bunch of women make up an elephant. And you can see how this woman’s hair makes up the elephant’s tail, and how this woman has to stand in a very strange posture to make up the elephant’s trunk . And her hands, make up the tusks of the elephant.
But ancient carvings have a secret code hidden inside of them. Here is an ancient carving, again the elephant is made of a bunch of women. Here its tusks are made using this woman’s legs. Here is another ancient carving, also made of several women, and here is a third one, also made of several women. However, there is a secret code, hiding inside these ancient carvings which is forgotten today. Let’s count the number of women inside the elephant: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. The rider is a man, and he is outside, so let’s ignore him. Let’s look at another carving: Again, a total of 9 women. Here is another one..let’s count. Notice that each elephant is always made, exactly, of 9 women. Not 10, not 8 but always 9. Ancient builders could have easily made it with 10 or 8 women, but the number 9 is kept consistent while carving the elephant. This information is lost in this modern piece of cloth, it is made of 7 women, because we, the modern, so-called sophisticated people do not understand the hidden code. But may be, just may be, this is all a coincidence, may be just by dumb luck, I found all these ancient elephant carvings that are made up of exactly 9 women. So, let’s check this by going back and looking at the ancient carvings of horses. How many women do you see? 1,2,3,4 and 5. Look at this horse. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Not 4, not 6, always 5. The horses are always made of 5 women, just like how an elephant was always made of 9 women. This is a code. Why did they have to keep these numbers consistent, in all ancient Hindu temples? Think about how big India is, and how the sculptors would have had to communicate and share knowledge to keep this information consistent. Why did they never carve a horse made of 6 women, or an elephant made of 8 or 10 women? And why always women? Why not put a few men inside these animals?
In order to decode this ancient secret, you need to know another important detail. These two carvings are usually found together, as though the horse and elephant are fighting each other. According to ancient Sanskrit texts, this carving is called Navanari Kunjara – this specifically means that 9 women make up an elephant. And this carving is called Panchanari Turaga – this means 5 women make up a horse.
So it is a battle between 5 of something and 9 of something else. What does 5 signify here? And what does 9 signify? And why are they fighting? Now pay attention to the Gurus, the teachers on both sides. See how they are shown as clouds, acting as the thinktanks, guiding these warriors below them. Look at the left Guru, and look at the right Guru. Do you see the difference between them? And on top, notice the 2 animals. Very interesting to see, how they depicted the left and the right. To a layperson, they would look similar, but they have put some incredibly subtle details, look below this animal. You see what this is? On the left side, that detail is not there.
But what I really find interesting is this thing that separates them. Look carefully on these sides, do you see what they are? Unfortunately it is eroded a little bit, so let me show you another carving nearby with the same features. You see what these two faces on the side? Does it ring a bell? Let me show you a carving I previously showed you before. Yeah, that exact same feature. This is an animal called Makara mentioned in ancient texts, 2 makaras on the side of this statue, and the 2 makaras on this carving. These 2 carvings are placed more than a 1000 miles apart. But they are both optical illusions with a bigger whole made of smaller parts. But you see how everything is merging together? Not to mention the rabbit carving. What is the secret code hidden in this carving? What is the connection between rabbits and humans?

Hey guys, today, we are going to look at some of the extraordinary carvings of the ancient Transformer temple.
What is this? It looks like a circle with some weird details, but when we take a closer look, we see something fascinating. There are 6 guys who are tangled up to form a wheel like alignment. Look at how each guy has put his legs on top of the guy below him. But look carefully, each guy has one arm hanging outside the circle, but inside the circle, see how each one is holding the next guy’s hand. Who are they and why are they doing this? If you observe carefully, you may be able to understand how they represent our six senses.
Look at this one, a very interesting carving. A pretty woman is putting a red dot on her forehead while looking at the mirror. Now, if you watch my videos regularly, you will say what’s really interesting, you have shown this type of carving a dozen times before, right? No this one is different. What she is holding is not only a mirror, but it is also a lid for the pot nearby. That’s why the sculptor has carved the pot nearby and look at the mirror, see how it is shaped  with those 2 grooves to fit on top of the pot. This is really fascinating, because today, we can buy water bottles like this. It is a bottle but the lid, has something fancy, like a mirror, like a tiny little game on top of it or something like that. But ancient Indians were doing the same thing many centuries ago, they had used two in one water bottles with a mirror on the lid.
Here, on these pillars you can see these warriors, at the top you can see these horsemen, and at the bottom, you can see these foot soldiers and helpers. This guy on the horse is a brave warrior, probably nobody can defeat him in the battlefield, but you know how he is gonna die?
Look at this guy, what is he doing at the bottom? Yes, he is going to prick him with a small needle like weapon. Why? What can this teeny tiny prick with a needle do to this horseman, right? That needle is smeared with a deadly poison that will kill the warrior in a few minutes. That’s right, the greatest of the warriors are not defeated in direct combat, they are destroyed by treachery, right? Look at how the guy is keeping an eye on the other helper making sure he does not see what is going on. In the other hand, he has another needle or pointy thing smeared with poison. He is going to go to another warrior and continue killing them all silently.
In another temple, I have shown you how one man is shown stabbing another man from the back, and that guy himself is being stabbed in the back, by another man. So there are many levels of betrayals and double crossings going on since time immemorial.
Here you can see a brave warrior pulling out his sword from the case or sheath. He would go toe to toe with his enemies. But what if his enemies are not humans? What if he had to fight animals in the battlefield? No, I don’t mean the horses or elephants, what if he had to fight animals like lions and tigers? 
And you may think, Praveen, this is weird, right? It is a battle field, its not a jungle, why would you find lions and tigers here? No, in ancient times, people used wild animals in battles. Around the world, people used leopards, lions and other big cats. In Cambodia, remember I showed you how rhinos were used in battlefield. We can see these evidences in carvings of Angkor Wat temple. And we can see lions, tigers and leopards used in battlefields. So when the enemy unleashes these crazy wild animals, how would you fight against them? Ancient Indians normally used swords to fight against other humans, but to fight these wild animals, you need a very different weapon.
You need a Katar. What is a Katar, right? It is a push dagger that has a very different handle from regular swords and knives. A person typically holds a sword using his palm sideways, while the Katar has a H shape grip, and this makes the Katar like an extension to your hand. Imagine the  advantage of the wolverine, right? Suddenly he gets an extra few inches of claws added to his hands, and that’s exactly what happens when you use a Katar, you get a blade attached to your hand. When you fought an animal in ancient India, the gladiator or the warrior was armed with 2 Katars, one in each hand. The biggest advantage of a wild animal like a lion or tiger is that it would have massive claws and reach into you, while human hands would be small with tiny nails. But when you have 2 katars hooked to your hands, you have increased your arm reach by at least one foot, and the end is not your soft fingertips, they are pointy blades that could stab the animal. Here you can see a warrior put one Katar in the lion’s mouth, while the other Katar is going into its underbelly. Now, it is extremely hard to kill a big cat by just stabbing and slashing it.
So there is a specific variant of Katars which helped the warriors. This is called a scissor Katar. It looks like a regular push dagger, but once you stab the animal, you can push a lever, and the dagger would open up and expose another blade inside. What’s the advantage of this? ancient Indians smeared deadly poison on the inner blade, which would immediately get into the animal’s bloodstream, and would kill the animal quickly.
If you go to antique shops in India, you can also find these hooded Katars, this part is the hood which has a covering to protect your hands. So in effect, if you used 2 hooded Katars, there is no way the animal could hurt your hands while you had all the advantages of stabbing its limbs. But there is one important part that is extremely vulnerable, the human head. Today people would probably use helmets or something, but what did an ancient man do when a lion was going for his head? That’s exactly what we are going to see here. This lion is just about to bite this man’s head off. What is going to happen next? He is going to die, right? No, look carefully at his face, is he.. smiling? Why is he smirking when a lion is about to crush his skull in one bite? May be the sculptor made a mistake here, right?  Let’s look at an other carving. A different carving, but the exact same scenario, the animal is about to bite this guy’s head, but again look at his facial expression. He is smiling confidently as though he is winning the fight. Why? Think logically about why he is smiling without going into strange theories like ancient people believed that they would go to heaven if they died in a battlefield, etc. We can find the real answer in the same temple.  Look at this carving, this man is fighting with a lion, he is using katars to stab the lion, but the lion has a distinct advantage, it has teeth that can bite  into the man’s head and kill him instantly. But what does the man do? He puts his hair into the lion’s mouth, and the lion is chewing on his hair. The lion cannot get to his skull, because he has about 12 inches of strong bundled hair in the form of a top knot, and when his hair hits the lion’s throat, it is just going to chew on his hair. And ancient warriors must have practiced this move during their training, because you need to have the presence of mind to do this clever move, when an animal is attacking you. Now look at that smirk on his face, he is smiling because his hair is saving his life. And he is going to win this fight. You guys always comment about why I have spiked hair, and now a beard, and I think you got the answer now. If I get attacked by a tiger tomorrow, my hair could save my life, I think. 
 
But ancient Indians may have also used a strange device to repel wild animals from attacking them. In olden times, how did ancient people go through forests without being attacked by animals? It is commonly believed that ancient Indians used mantras to drive animals away. But, were they just chanting mantras or were they using a device to make these sounds? Why am I talking about this, right? Look at this strange dumb bell shaped device in this guy’s hand. What is that? Initially I thought that this was just a pot of water, but there are other ancient carvings in the same temple which clearly show pots. I have shown you this water pot in other temple carvings as well. These are pots with a wide bottom  for holding water. Look at this dumb bell shaped device, it almost has a flat, thin bottom and the top is wider than the bottom, so it is definitely not a pot for water. These are not pots, they are dumbbell shaped devices and we don’t know what they are. Look at this one, what is that? It is really strange, and it has some kind of grooves and patterns on it. Is it some type of an ancient device to drive animals away? Remember, at the top you see the horsemen, and at the bottom, you usually see these footsoldiers fighting animals. This makes me think if these guys were using this device to repel animals. Interestingly, today, we use the same technology. Scientists have invented ultrasonic devices to drive away animals, you can buy this device and put it on your bike, and if a stray dog approaches you, it will sense that weird ultrasonic sound and run away from you. So my question is, did ancient Indians use something similar to drive animals away? because whereever you see these devices, you don’t see the animals. And whereever you see the animals, the guys are shown with Katars, and not these devices.
Now, let me show you this carving.  What is going on here? There is a woman at the bottom, and there is a guy on top. Is he giving her a head massage? It appears that the man is using some force and the woman seems relaxed, so may be he is giving her a massage. But look at these legs here. This is just weird, I mean why are the legs shown like this? Is he doing something else, what’s happening?
And look at this guy. Something is very strange about him. Look at his right hand, it is like a salute, but his hand is so twisted, and his palm is on his forehead. The left hand is shown supporting the right hand. And look at his legs, why is he having them crossed? What is the meaning of this carving? 
Let’s try to decode this carving ok? Very strange figure, it has the face of a horse, but it has the body of a human. On his lap, a beautiful woman is seated. Now how do we identify this figure? In his right hand, he has a chakra, and in his left hand he has a conch or shanku. These 2 things indicate that he is lord Vishnu. And this is his wife Lakshmi, you can see the lotus flower here, she is always shown sitting or standing on lotus flowers, and this confirms that she is in fact Goddess Lakshmi. This avatar of Vishnu is called Hayagriva, Hayagriva in Sanskrit means the “Horse Necked Being”. 
And if you are a Hindu, you may say I know all the 10 avatars of Vishnu, and Hayagriva is not one of them. According to some ancient texts, Vishnu has 24 avatars, today most Indians do not know this information, and most ancient temples also do not show the 24 avatars. Most temples only show the 10 popular avatars and the remaining 14 are almost never seen in carvings. But this temple is rare, it has all the 24 avatars.
Look at this one. Who is this?  You may be tempted to say this is the fire god Agni, or the Sun God Surya, because of the flames around him. But no, this one, again, is a rare avatar of Vishnu, you can see his chakra and conch. What’s the name of this avatar? This is called Yajna Avatar. Yagya means Sacrificial fire, it is very common to see these fire rituals in India, and this avatar is the personification of this sacrifice. I have not see this avatar in any other temple before.
And remember I showed you the rotating parts in the center of this temple and I called it the transformer temple? All these statues rotate, right? But did you notice this part? What is that? From the top view, it looks like this. Is that a head of an animal? And look on the 4 corners, you can see these carvings. What are they? They are legs. This is a turtle, and the entire square platform is sitting on top of the turtle’s back. This turtle is one of the avatars of Vishnu called Koorma. And according to ancient texts, Gods and Demons churned the sea of milk, and they used Mount Mandara as a churning rod, but at the bottom of the sea, they needed a firm base to support the churning rod, so Vishnu offered to help them and became a turtle. This is why he is firmly grasping the floor with his nails because he cannot move a lot. And the symbolism and why there are so many moving parts in the temple become clear once you understand that this is the story of the churning of the sea of milk.   
But look at this one. What is that? Is that an ancient aliens kind of being? Or is it a monkey? His face looks more like that of a fox. Look at that band on his neck, who is he and why is he sitting like that?  Can you explain this?

Hey guys, in a previous video, I showed you the 27 nakshatras or lunar stations carved in the ancient temple of tirupperunturai. In this video, I want to go into other details connected to them. Right next to these star systems, you can see many strange Gods. Who are they? Let us take a closer look, this one is Chandra, the moon God and according to Vedic texts, moon god is male, and he is married to these 27 lunar stations. This story sounds strange and meaningless – the moon married to 27 nakshatras? Doesn’t make any sense right? No, why are there 27 nakshatras? Why not divide the sky into 25 or 50 different segments, right? The 27 nakshatras represent the 27 days taken by the moon to revolve around the earth. So the moon spends one day with each nakshatra every month, that is every sidereal month or 27 days. This is what is symbolically meant when Indian texts say the moon is married to the 27 nakshatras.
If the moon is carved on this side of the nakshatras, what would be carved on the other side? That’s right, the sun God or Surya. This is an unusual depiction by the way, he is not shown in a chariot with 7 horses.  And yet another interesting detail, he is barefoot, you can see the anklets in his legs, and also see his toes. Very different from the Sun Gods shown in North India. For example, in Modhera Sun Temple you saw that the Sun God was wearing gum boots, with a long neck. This is a stark contrast to that.
And here is is a rare carving holding a bow and arrow. Guess who this is? This is planet Mercury known as Budha in Sanskrit and Tamil languages. Above this carving there is a small inscription confirming that this is planet mercury.
And here is another carving, what does this God represent? He is shown with three different weapons, a trident, a vajra and a spear. He represents planet mars. He is called Mangala in Sanskrit, and Chevvai in Tamil Language. These are rare carvings, you don’t see large carvings of planets and celestial bodies in temples, you will usually see them as small idols grouped together, but what you are looking at is very rare.
But in this video, I want to show you something esoteric. Look at what is carved above Mars. What is that? It looks like a crescent with a small circle inside the crescent, and inside that circle, there is a face carved. You can see the eyes, nose and mouth and even see the dot on the forehead. This is a secret symbol associated with mars. In this temple, there are many strange hidden details. Above, every heavenly body, you can see a symbol carved.
Let us look at the top of the Sun, again you can see a strange pattern. It looks like a complex knot made inside some device. I mean look at the complexity of the string, it is brilliant. How is this symbol connected to the Sun? What is the meaning of it?
If you look on top of the moon, a mysterious bird with fancy feathers is seen. What bird is it? How is it connected to the moon? On top of mercury, we can see this pattern. What do these symbols mean? How is each symbol connected to the corresponding heavenly body below?
Lets move from the pillars to the ceiling, there are some unbelievable details here. Your attention is immediately drawn to the chains. Are they metal chains attached to the ceiling? No, these are stone chains, they were carved out of stone and they are a part of the same stone block that has the carving as well. An extraordinary stone work done during ancient times, but I have shown you several stone chains in my previous videos. There is a big 3d circular pattern in the center, and some claim that it is rotatable. Now, what is more fascinating is the bunch of carvings surrounding this circle. Because they are covered with spider web, it is hard to see what is carved behind. Can you tell me what they are?
Look carefully: In this corner, you can see a person with a bow and arrow. In the next square, you can see a scorpion. And if you count the number of squares you will get a total of 12 squares. Yes, these are the 12 Zodiac signs called Rashi. You can see Aries or Mesha, which is shown as a Ram, but you can also see a person riding the ram, The next one Taurus or Rishaba, shown as a bull , you can see a rider on top of the bull as well. The next one is Gemini or Mituna, and you can see a couple here, hiding behind the spider web.  Here is Cancer or Kataka, what is fascinating is that, even the crab has a person riding it. This is a very unique representation, we don’t see this in modern astrology, and we don’t usually see a person riding a crab, even in other ancient Indian temples. The next one is Leo or Simha, you can clearly see the lion. In the next square, you can see the virgo meaning a virgin. In Sanskrit it is called Kanya, which also means the same thing. The next square depicts someone holding a balance, a weighing scale. This is called Thula in India, known as Libra in western astrology. If you ever wondered why pounds are depicted by the symbol lb, it is because of libra. This is actually a greek word, and we still use it as a measure of weight. The next one is scorpio or Vrushchika, obviously meaning a scorpion. Here, we can see sagittarius also known as Dhanu, meaning a bow, you can see the archer releasing the arrow from his bow. In the next square, you can see a strange animal, this is called Makara in India, the equivalent of capricorn. Unfortunately it is completely obfuscated by spiderweb. Right next to it, you can see the Aquarius, known as Kumbha in India. It is depicted with just a pot, known a Kumbha. The last one is Pisces or Meena and you can clearly see what that means, it means fish.
So, we can see the 12 zodiac signs on the ceiling. I have shown you the 9 heavenly factors that affect planet earth called Navagraha. I have only shown you some of them, but there are others as well including venus, saturn and other planets. And In another video, I have shown you the 27 lunar stations or Nakshatras. So, you can see,  that in this ancient temple of Tirupperunturai, you can see all these extraordinary details related to astronomy and astrology. But we understand only a part of them, because we don’t understand these symbols related to them. What is the meaning of these symbols?

𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐀 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭?

Hey guys, today we are going into a strange temple in India, there is something very very different about these stones. There seems to be a weird energy in this temple, and as we go towards the center of the structure, the energy seems to increase.
But is this energy divine, mystical energy, or is it some type of physical energy that can be quantified? You see the base here, there is a lot of tiny, cylindrical stone statues. This is very odd, I have not seen this type of architecture, but let’s see what happens? Yeah, this one rotates. This is unbelievable. Why is this saint who is in deep meditation, designed to rotate?  But is this the only rotating statue? Let’s go further and check another one, see, this one also rotates. And this one also rotates. Actually all these tiny statues rotate or they used to be rotatable in the past. If you see this area here, you can see these statues, but you can also see these holes. In ancient times, there were various rotatable statues here too, but somehow they are all gone now. Only some of the rotating statues are left.
This is an extraordinary finding, but my question is not, how they made these rotating statues, is not even why they made these rotating statues, but are there more rotating or moving parts in this temple? Let me repeat this question, Look around, very carefully, are there more moving parts in this temple? What if, there are many moving parts in this temple, hiding in plain sight?
Now, look at the top, in this area, you see these three carvings? Are they rotatable, or are they all just part of the same bigger stone block attached to them? Let me show you this corner, again three more statues, but are they rotatable?  Think about it guys, am I just being paranoid in thinking that everything in this temple is movable? Or are they actually movable? Make up your mind now because I am going to show you this side, right next to it. Yes, you see these holes, these three holes, this means that rotating statues were once present here. There is no need for these holes if these statues were a part of the same stone block next to them. Let me again remind you how we saw these holes at the top and bottom at the ground level, there are holes at the bottom, and at the top to aid the rotation. So, there is absolutely no doubt, that these statues at the top are also rotating statues.
But we are not done yet, are there more moving parts in this temple? Look above, in the ceiling. This is mind-blowing. Will this also rotate? Is this a rotatable stone? What do you think? If this does not rotate, why did ancient builders make such a design, that looks like the propeller of a vimana, I mean aircraft? You have seen these rotating propellers in aircraft, and you can see that this looks remarkably similar to those propellers. But the question is, will it also rotate, like the propeller of a vimana?
Now, are these moving parts limited to this central area, or do they have moving parts all around this temple? As we walk around, look carefully, see if you can find other moving parts. Yes, you are right. These are also rotating statues. Let me zoom in and show you. Here you can see the hole at the top. Here, in the next hole, a statue is mounted in it. You see the clearance between the hole and the statue, this gap is intentionally given to make the statue rotate without any friction. As we walk around, we can spot many, many stone parts that are movable. This is crazy, right? Because we can understand that these are rotating statues, but who can climb up, 15 feet and manually rotate these statues? Why should anybody rotate these statues? This is like putting a light switch 15 feet above the floor, nobody puts a light switch 15 feet above, because it needs to be usable, right? But nobody can use this, no one can rotate these objects.
Even worse, I think nobody knows that these statues at the top are rotatable, I think I have re-discovered this after many centuries. Locals should know that the statues at the bottom are rotatable, because you can see they have put drawings around them, but I don’t think anybody knows that these statues at the top are also movable. But why did ancient builders go through so much pain to make them rotatable, and then put them at an unreachable height?
Now, what if all these pillars can also rotate? Wait, is this even possible? Can giant stone pillars rotate? Yes it is quite possible. Even in the last century, a genius by the name of Edward Leedskalnin, made giant rotating stones and put it in a castle called Coral Castle in the U.S. In India, I have shown you small columns which can rotate, I have shown you parts of pillars that can rotate, there is even a rotating pillar in the ancient Chennakeshava temple. So, look carefully, and tell me, are these rotating pillars? What do you think?
I cannot confirm this, but there is one more moving part in this temple. Yes, it actually moves even when people are not moving it. All these objects I have shown you so far, only move when we manually rotate them. But what I am about to show you moves even when no one touches it. What are they? These stone chains. At the corners of the same structure, you can see these stone chains. Most people immediately get mesmerized by the craftsmanship, are they really stone chains?  How did the sculptor make them into chains? etcetera. We are not going to focus on all this today, we are only going to focus on the fact that these stone chains move, even if there is a slightest breeze. You can see them moving when the wind starts blowing and if it starts raining and there is heavy airflow, these chains move a lot. What you are witnessing is a miracle, okay? You have never seen rocks move because of wind, right? Rocks and stones don’t move when the wind blows, right? I mean this is the definition of a rock, it is immovable. But ancient builders have made this possible, and we don’t even have to move this, it moves by itself, like a windmill, right?
I mean we see these windmills making energy from nature, they take the energy from the wind and make it usable by moving, right? Is it possible that these chains were also created to do the same? Were ancient builders harnessing wind energy? If you hook this up to a dynamo, we can literally make electricity out of this, right? It will be a very small amount, but we can make electricity, simply by adding a dynamo to this chain, because then we can convert this motion, this kinetic energy that is coming from the wind, into electrical energy.
And even with these rotating stones, we can make electricity from them. Remember how the light bulbs work in bicycles, they are not powered by a battery, they work because the wheels are being rotated by you,  and the dynamo just converts that energy into electricity.
Now, isn’t it strange that we found so many moving parts in this temple? Why did ancient builders try to put all these movable parts, and design it like a machine? Can this temple transform itself into a machine?
Before we end this video, don’t you wanna know the name of this temple? The name of this temple is Varadha Raja Perumal Temple, this is located in the city of Kanchipuram, and you can see this specific structure at the very entrance. Wikipedia says this temple is built in 3^rd century A.D, that means it is 1800 years old. I don’t think these moving stones are that old, but I definitely think they are many centuries old, approximately 500 to 1000 years old. We have just stumbled on a miracle, this is a complex, breathtaking architecture, with so many moving parts, hiding in plain sight.

Hey guys, today I am going to show you some very strange, inside details. Look at this ancient carving. See anything out of place? Is it just a lion with an open mouth? Look at its neck here, you can see something bulgy, as though something is stuck in its throat. Now look at this carving, it is carved almost right next to it. You cannot see the bulge in the neck, but you can see something inside the throat. Both these carvings are placed about 20 feet above the ground level, so I couldn’t get a better picture, but there is something definitely coming out of the mouth, right? Some of you may Praveen, you always imagine things that don’t exist, these are probably just coincidences, they are just mistakes made by sculptors. What about this one? What is that? Yes, it seems very much like a human coming out of the mouth of the lion. You can see his hands here, you can see his head here, and only the torso is out of the lion’s mouth. His legs are completely inside the lion. What are the ancient builders trying to tell us? Now look at these pictures, a step-by-step depiction of the man coming out very slowly out of the mouth, you can see his entire body, almost completely coming out. Here, this man is totally out of the lion’s mouth. Remember how when we were kids, we made flip books? In every page we made a particular frame, and when we flipped the pages, we could tell a story, like someone is sneezing. This is what we see in this temple, we can see how a lion is coughing up a human being. Now, some of you may think we are looking at it in reverse direction, maybe you think the lion is eating this man, if you see it in reverse, it appears that the lion is eating the man, but I don’t think that. Why? Because the man appears to be super calm in these carvings, the man shows no emotions like fear and anxiety, and ancient Indian sculptors were masters of carving emotions. It appears that he is casually coming out of the lion’s mouth. But who can explain this story? Who is this guy coming out of the lion’s mouth?
Now, look at this carving. Don’t distracted by this guy on the side and what is on his head. Focus on the pot like container here. This is called Kumbha and you can see a gel like liquid splashing all around, some type of liquid is coming out of the container. Why? Because of this figure. Who is he? And what is he doing inside the Kumbha? This is a rare carving of a saint, his name is Vasishta. Now who is Vasishta? Vasishta is one of the authors of Rig Veda, the oldest text of Hinduism. Even by very conservative estimates, the Rig Veda is said to be 3000 years old. But why is Vasishta shown inside a container? He was a test tube baby born outside of a mother’s womb. Something very fascinating is mentioned in ancient Indian texts. They mention that twin brothers by the names of Vasishta and Agastya were born by artificial means. They were not only created or fertilized in an external container, they were also completely developed and born out of large containers called Kumbhas. And some of you may think this is nonsense, that’s not how test tube baby process works, right? An egg is fertilized in a petri dish, and typically allowed to divide 2 to 4 times in the dish and then, it will be put back into the mother’s womb, right? No, scientists have already built an artificial womb and have tested it on animals, and these animals can be fully grown and “delivered” from these containers. And scientists confirm that this is going to be the future, where the foetus can be fully grown and monitored using artificial intelligence and be born outside of a mother’s womb. Is it possible that such a technology existed in ancient times? Or, were these writings merely born out of imagination of ancient writers?
Now, I have shown you these mysterious ancient bags in Hindu temples, and these ancient bag carvings are found all around the world. But, in this temple, I have not only found these bags, you can see these are like modern waist bags or hip pouches. But I have also discovered what’s inside these bags and it is mind boggling. This temple is a treasure trove for carvings, and I could find many many carvings and statues with these waist bags. Initially I thought these were just flaps in their clothing, but as I examined more carvings, I saw some of them have bulges as though there was something inside. I am always intrigued by what is inside these ancient bags. Did they have some kind of advanced devices inside the bags or were they carrying simple things like food and water? What if they are just lunch bags, right? For the very first time, I am going to show you what’s inside the bag. I found three specific carvings which show what is inside the bag.
This is the first one. No, not this one, this one. It is very easy to get mesmerized by the bigger statues, but nobody pays attention to smaller carvings. You can clearly see that the bag is open, and there are several things inside the bag. But what are they? Here you can see a strange object, it looks like some kind of a container, but we don’t know what’s inside. And right next to it, you can see 2 thin, cylindrical tube-like objects, with domes on top. They don’t look anything like food or water bottles or something like that. Even if you want to argue that this could be an ancient pot for drinking water, the carving nearby disproves that. Because look, this woman is giving him water, that’s how water pots looked back then. So, the ancient builders are making it clear that this is water, and this is not water. This is something else, and these are some other objects. Now, this is a war scene, right? This guy is shown with a spear, and other weapons, so possibly these objects are related to fighting. But they don’t look like normal weapons, maybe they are like bombs or grenades or something like that? Or they could be medicines, they could hold medicines for the soldiers. if they get hurt.
I also found another carving with an open bag. Now, this is the bag, we can clearly see the outline of the bag, and there are 2 objects in the bag. But again, I am not able to fully understand what they are. The right one looks like a bottle, like some type of a flask or a container, and again we have that dome shaped top. Now, a lot of people will stop making videos about “what’s in the ancient bag” and start making videos about “what’s inside the ancient bottle”, right? Anyway, look at the object on the left, that is really weird. It seems to have a broad base, and a crescent shaped top, but it also has some type of a wire or cable attached to it. What is that? It cannot be a stabbing or cutting weapon like a sickle because its base is just too broad to hold. And weapons like knives don’t need wires. So, what is that? And why does it have to be kept safely inside the bag? And you can say maybe it is a sickle like weapon, they just kept it inside the bag.
But in the same temple, we can see that warriors always carried their swords and knives outside these bags, I mean if you have an enemy who is ambushing you, you don’t want to waste your time opening your bag, right? You want to draw and use the weapon as quickly as possible. And this is the third carving I wanted to show you by the way. You can see the open bag here too. It is not so clear what’s inside, but again, I think there are 2 objects here. One looks like a dome, and the other one, I have no idea what this is, partially because it is not clear.
Now, let’s look inside something else. Let’s look at this horseman, see that strange detail? Don’t be distracted by the hair of the horse’s tail. I know we can easily be mesmerized with this kind of craftsmanship. But that’s not what we are focussing on today. You see this quiver or arrow bag? You can see the bow on the outside, and a bag, probably made of leather, resting on it. Inside the bag, you can see a bunch of arrows. But this time, let’s focus on the outside. You see these 2 arrows. While the rest of the arrows are placed inside the quiver, 2 arrows are placed outside. This is a fascinating detail. You can clearly see their arrowheads at the bottom. Now, initially I thought that this was just a coincidence or a mistake of the sculptor, so I checked a few more carvings, and I found the exact, same detail. All the warriors have two arrows placed outside the quiver. Why?
Imagine you are in a fierce battle field shooting arrows, will you keep count of how many arrows you have left? No, even without looking at the quiver, you are going to continuously draw the arrows and shoot at your enemies. And what happens after you have used all the arrows in the bag? You will end up using the last 2 arrows, and when you pull them from the outside, you will realize that yes, these are the last 2 arrows, I have no more arrows left. So, you have to make a choice, you may retreat and get more arrows and fight from a distance or you can go into a close combat using spears and swords. So, these 2 arrows are reserve arrows, in fact I am coining this phrase ‘Ancient Arrow Reserve’. This is a system similar to modern day reserve fuel. So, what do you do when you are riding a bike and it abruptly stops in the middle of the road? You give it a shake and you realize that the fuel tank is empty. Are you going to be just, stranded on the road? No, there is a knob called fuel reserve in your bike, all you have to do is turn the knob and you will get enough fuel to run for a few miles, and then you can fill up the tank and continue your business. This is exactly the same system ancient Indian warriors were using, when they ran out of the arrows in the main tank, they switched to the reserve arrows, just 2 arrows, but they may be enough to save their lives.
I hope you enjoyed looking inside various things, whether they are bags, quivers, pots or even inside the mouths of animals. By the way did you notice the lizard next to that guy with a bag? What about the bird on the horse? What do they mean?

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒

Hey guys, today we are going into the ancient temple of Tirupperunturai, and I am going to show you some impossible carvings found here.

But wait, we have already walked past a miracle. Two miracles.  Look at these carvings. Look at their height. Yes, they are made of stone, and in this picture, you can see my height and you can compare that with the height of these statues. Each statue is about a whopping 15 feet tall. 

In today’s world of new age marketing where the substance is 10% and marketing is 90%, we do not value the ancient system of modesty.  The ancient builders deliberately placed these extraordinary carvings in unnoticeable locations, and wanted you to miss them. If you enter this temple, there is a 99% chance that you are not going to enter like this, and then turn around and look at these giant carvings. You are probably going to walk straight into the temple without looking back. And by the time you are finished exploring this huge temple and are going home, you would be too tired to observe these 2 statues. So, the ancient builders intentionally put them here not to be seen, but why?

But it is not just the Giant size that stuns us, if we examine the micro details, it is even more stunning. At the top of the left Giant, there are 4 different bands. The first one shows the Sun and the Crescent moon alternating, symbolizing day, and night. The next band shows a series of strange cylinders and each cylinder looks shiny at the top, but has some patterns below. Each one is a Sahasralinga, a type of Linga indicating the presence of Lord Shiva. Below that we can see another band studded with chakras and conchs. The Chakra and Conch signify Lord Vishnu, the protector of everything, and below that you can see a band with a bunch of circles. If you count the number of circles, there are 9 circles, the navagrahas or the 9 heavenly factors that affect planet earth. So, this deity is basically wearing the entire universe as a bunch of garlands, as he appears to be towering over the universe.

His hair and his fierce looking face have a lot of fantastic details but I am gonna skip that and go to the weapons. On the top 2 hands, he is holding some weird things. Can you tell me what they are? This is a quiver, a bag which holds a bunch of arrows, and you can see that he is pulling out one arrow using just 2 fingers. On the other hand, this is a bow, it looks tiny in his hand, simply because he is a giant. But there is a detail here that is just unbelievable. Look at the string of the bow, how it goes like this with enough space, but here it is tightly clasping his thumb. The string is stretched because he has inserted his thumb, and now there is tension, this is technically called elastic tension, so it has to align tightly with his thumb. And then again, you can see that there is enough space between the bow and the string here, after the thumb. A fantastic detail that cannot even be seen with the naked eye, I had to zoom in with my DSLR, that’s how I found it. On this hand, you can see an animal, it is actually a deer, and on the other side, you can see a tiny, axe like weapon. There are long stories attached to these two things called Maan and Mazhu. In the hand below, you can see a trident, and you can easily mistake it for the Shiva’s trident or the Trishul, but again another strange detail. In the center, it is not just a prong, it somewhat looks like a piece of the vertebral column, right? This is another weapon called Vajra, which can produce the power of a lightning. So, it is a combo weapon, where you can electrocute the enemy while impaling him with a trident. On this side, there is another strange weapon that looks like a ring. You can see how his finger is inserted into the ring, of course he is a giant, so the ring looks tiny next to hm. However, I have already shown you a ring like ancient weapon called the Chakra. This is what he is holding. And below that, this is a shield, a round shield with a protrusion in the front, but from this angle, it looks strange, and on the other hand, you can see a sword or a dagger. And he has two more arms by the way, and look what he is doing with them. He is holding someone by his hair, and he is going to cut his head off. Look at the longsword he is holding in the other hand, and how it is placed on the victim’s neck. Now, what is fascinating is how he is holding the sword. This is not how a soldier holds a sword, a soldier typically holds a sword firmly in his hand while fighting someone. But this deity is a Giant, right? And the victim is tiny. Because of the size, you should imagine how a biologist would hold a scalpel while dissecting a frog. He would just hold it with 2 fingers, because he is not afraid of the frog. And that’s exactly what we see in this statue, he is holding the longsword casually with his 2 fingers and is going to dissect the victim. And look here, he is wearing a shin guard made of chains, to protect his shin, just like today’s soccer players. If you are a warrior, you definitely need shin guards. Not to mention his sandals, I mean look at the height of the sole, these are huge, why does a giant who is already giant, need more elevation, and you can even see the strap going around. But look at this detail, the kneecap, look at how it is projecting out, and looks like a cup. This is exactly how a human knee would look, and look at the shin bone, how it protrudes like a line. Now, look at the carving, and you can see the exact same detail.  

I am not going to discuss this statue on the other side, but there many many differences between these 2 statues, for example, his eyes are open and you can see a weird expression. He is not using a sword; he is using a long spear and the victim is lying on the floor. But look at this detail here on the back of his leg. There is a depression, a thin line of depression between the shin bone and his calf muscles. If you observe a human body, when a person’s leg is elevated, this depression does not appear, but if he is standing, this depression becomes clearly visible. So, imagine the mindset of ancient builders who paid attention to the microdetails in anatomy, while carving these15 feet tall, macro statues. 

Look at this horseman here. You can see this little bump on his knee, right next to the knee cap. Now look at this bump on a real human leg. I don’t want to complicate this by going into the anatomical name of this bump, but these are fascinating details and look at the muscles of his thighs. See how it is curving down because of gravity. And, they not only paid attention to human anatomy, look at this horse, notice its teeth? You may think this looks more like human teeth, it looks exaggerated, right? No, horses have teeth that look perfect, quite similar to the teeth of humans. And look at the back of the jaw, there is not much teeth here, again look at the statue and look at how the sculptor was paying attention to the anatomy of the horse, carving the inside of its mouth.

But it gets better, look at how this man is holding a long spear, ready to attack someone. Look at his chest muscles, his pectoral muscles, see how well defined they are, and below that, look at his rib bone, these bones comes out when you are inhaling. Your rib cage becomes prominent, when you breathe in. And why is he holding his breath? Because he is lifting this huge spear. Next time when you lift something heavy, notice what happens. You will hold your breath and your rib bones will come out. But, look at the back of his hand. See these 4 lines, they look familiar, don’t they? Now, you just turned your hand, and looked at the back of your hand, didn’t you? You may think these are nerves or veins, but these are tendons that join muscles to bones. Each tendon is going up one finger and you can see how they are flaring up. They are only coming out, because he is lifting a heavy spear and he is holding it in this position. But look, in the same carving, let me show you the other hand. Where are the tendons? They are not visible, because he is merely holding the reins with this hand, so there is no tension, that’s why the tendons are not flaring up. Today, you will only find these details in medical texts about anatomy, these tendons are called extensor digitorum tendons. So, understand the profound knowledge and wisdom of ancient sculptors. Some historians say ancient Indian kings used slaves to make these carvings. Will a slave, who is forced into labor, create such details?

Look at this figure, look at his chin. He has a bump on his chin, but adults rarely have such bumps, but you can see this mostly in babies. Lots of babies have these chin bumps. But why does this deity have it? He is Lord Karthikeya, the youngest or the baby of Shiva’s family. That’s why he is shown with a chin bump. And look at his belly, he still has baby fat. And look at his leg here, look at this projection on the ankle. You can see how it is carved perfectly, exactly like a human leg. But keep an eye on this area, above his toes, you don’t see anything here, right? Now, let me show you this carving, look at this deity’s leg. You can see the same bone protruding out, but look at this, you can see a tendon. This is a tendon going to the big toe. In medical texts, there is a fancy name for this, it is called the Tendon of extensor hallucis longus. And look here, you can see a bunch of other tendons as well, and all these fibrous things flaring up. Now, you saw the tendons on a grown man, or a grown god, but let’s go back to the baby god Karthikeya. Look above his toes, you cannot see any tendons. Why? Because he has baby fat covering his tendons.

Now, let’s go back to the grown-up God Narasimha because we are not done yet. Lord Narasimha is destroying someone, using his bare hands, by ripping his intestines out. You can see how his fingers are going into the victim’s belly, but do you see the problem here? This large tube-like thing is the large intestine or the colon, and these two smaller tubular things are the small intestine. This is extraordinary, when we see external details like bones and tendons, we can claim that the sculptors were using models and just carved what they saw. But how could this sculptor carve the small intestine and the large intestine, he would have had to cut someone’s belly open to see these details.

Now, I have shown you just 5 or 6 carvings in this ancient temple, and there are more than one thousand carvings in this temple. So, imagine how long we would need, to discuss all these carvings of the temple. Have you ever seen such details anywhere? Who knew, this temple in a small village of South India, would have such incredible carvings? How did ancient builders understand so much about human anatomy?

Bullet Proof Technology in A Temple? BANNED FILES of Tirupperunturai-Part II

Hey guys, imagine walking into a 1000-year-old temple and you see a ceiling that is using 5 types of wooden rods. Some are cylindrical, some have 4 facets, some have 6 facets, some even have 10 facets. And you see giant wooden rafters and planks making up the ceiling. These wooden rods are inserted through these planks, and for reinforcement, you can also see these twisted reinforced metal rod inserted for additional support. On top of this, all these are fastened together with metal bolts and nails. You would wonder, how ancient builders did such advanced engineering more than a 1000 years ago, right?
But, what if I told you that none of these are made of wood or metal. These rods, the planks, the twisted bar and even the nails were individually made of granite and then assembled. Yes, this is what we see in the ancient temple of Tirupperunturai, which is 1100 years old.
Mainstream experts say that each rod you see is made of out of granite, this twisted rod reminds you of modern metal reinforcing bars, right? But ancient builders made twisted granite bars, made holes through these granite planks, and inserted the rod and then put granite nails, for a tight fastening. Imagine inserting 5 more different types of granite rods, cylindrical, cuboid, 6 faceted, 8 faceted and even10 faceted granite rods and putting granite nails in place. This technology is so futuristic, we do not have such stone technology even today.
Today, engineers use wood to create something similar and they call it batten roofing. The idea is the same, they use wooden rafters etc, and put metal nails to fasten everything together. People think the batten roofing was introduced in 1950s, less than 100 years ago, but we can see the batten roof in this temple, which is more than 1000 years old.
But this is unbelievable, right? How could the “primitive” ancient builders make such batten roofing using granite, which is one of the hardest rocks in the world? Is it really made of granite, or is everything made of clay or terracotta, and sculptors merely moulded it to look like granite? There is a very good chance that sculptors took clay and made them into these complex patterns and baked them to look batten like roofing, right?
But it is not just you or me who is in disbelief, the British officers stationed here during colonial times, also did not believe that it is made of granite. It is said that a British officer finally got tired of hearing this nonsense of advanced ancient technology and decided to debunk it. So, he took a rifle and fired a shot at the roof, expecting the clay roof to shatter into a million pieces. And he was shocked because the bullet simply made a hole, and the rest of it was just intact. Stunned, he shot again, and again just another hole in the roof. Forget shattering, not even a crack was formed around the bullet hole, so, he finally had to accept that yes, everything is made of granite.
In fact, there is a plaque inside the temple, written in Tamil language, which proudly says the British shot through the ceiling to check if it was really made of granite, because they could not believe such a structure could be made out of rocks.
But what do westerners know about Ancient Indian Stone Technology right? If we ask the traditional Indian sculptors, they could explain how their ancestors did this in the past, right? No, I came across something very interesting. The traditional Indian builders accept that this is a lost-technology that cannot be re-created. So even today, every time they are hired to build a new temple, in the building contract, they include a specific clause that mentions that they cannot build a ceiling like the Tirupperunturai temple. And this is clause was not added in the last few decades, it is said that this clause has been there for many centuries, it is part of the tradition itself. So you can understand that it is impossible to re-create such a structure.
Now, what do experts say? This is the mainstream information, and you can even see this on Wikipedia. It clearly says “The ropes, rafters and nails all are made of granite”. This means, they are telling us that the ropes, or the twisted rods, the rafters, and nails are individually made of granite and then fit together. This is what experts say, but in my opinion this is impossible.
Remember, if you watch my channel, I am a big supporter of advanced ancient technology and I have shown you many videos about how ancient builders implemented a variety of technologies in the past. But If I say, I do not believe they could do that, that means this is a completely futuristic, almost unimaginable technology.
My theory is that these are giant granite blocks, cut skilfully to give you an appearance of a batten roof. I do not think this is one stone rod that continuously passes through stone planks, and stone nails are then hammered in, to put them together. Why do I say this, right? For a nail or a rivet to go through an object, the nail should be harder than the object. If I take a metal nail, I can easily drive it into a wooden plank, nothing is crazy about this. But if I take a wooden nail and drive it into the same type of wood, it will not pierce through it, right? Why? Because the nail should be made of a harder material than the object. So, a granite nail would not go through a granite block. I do not think of them as individual nails, I only think of them as carvings, giving the appearance of nails.
I will give you another example, look at these twisted granite bars, you would have seen similar metal rebars or reinforcing bars, in every construction site. Most people don’t know the amount of rebars used in a construction site, until they demolish that building. But, why do they twist these metal bars and put them inside buildings? Because they have a higher tensile strength than concrete. So, they add these bars to change the strength of the entire structure in modern buildings. But, in this temple, there is no need to twist granite rods and then add it other granite blocks, because there would be no change in the strength of the structure.
So, for reasons like these, I believe that these are giant stone blocks carved and then placed side by side to given an appearance of a batten roof. However I cannot confirm this, unless I am allowed to take a closer look.
It is one of those things where I don’t believe it, but I want it to be true. Because if experts analyse this and confirm that these are individual rafters, rods and granite nails put together, then this temple would not only be recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site, it could even be recognized as a wonder of the world, because of such a unique technology.
So, what do you think? Is it possible to make such a roof system using granite rods, granite nails etc? Did ancient builders have such a technology, a futuristic stone technology? Or, are these merely carvings, imitating the batten roof system?

Did Christianity Begin in India? Was the Cross Worshipped by Ancient Hindus?

Hey guys, today I am going to show you some solid evidence of the Cross, like the Christian Cross in ancient Hindu Temples.
In a corner of the main chamber, at the top of this pillar, we can see a strange figure. On its neck, it wears something strange. Yes, it is a cross. I am trying to show you as much as possible, but we can only see so much because of the darkness and height. Is it wearing a Cross on its neck, like modern day Christians? Is this evidence of Christianity in ancient times? I found this carving in the Sun Temple of Modhera, in the state of Gujarat. The carvings here clearly prove that this is a Hindu temple and Archeologists confirm that the Modhera temple was built 1000 years ago.
But when did Christianity reach India? According to Wikipedia, Christianity reached India as early as 52 A.D, that means Christianity has been in India for nearly 2000 years. But this claim is also heavily disputed by many historians who say Christianity was brought into India by Europeans in 15th century, making it only 600 years old, and this temple is much older than 600 years.
But I was still not satisfied that this is a cross. So I went to the Museum in the Modhera temple complex, trying to find more evidence. And luckily, I found exactly that. Now, you can clearly see that it looks very much like a Cross, like how Christians wear the cross in their necks today. This is a very rare find. See what it says, this figure is called Keechak, and this figure was carved in the 11th century, so it is a thousand years old. It was actually a part of the Modhera temple, the statue was placed on another pillar in the dark chamber and it got broken a little, so they moved it to the museum.
Of course, some of you may have a gut reaction to dismiss this evidence as fake. Or some will claim that these crosses were carved much later by Christians, to foist their religion on Hinduism, as a means of propaganda. But if Christians did this just for propaganda, they would have placed these figures in a bright, prominent place where everybody would look. Why would they carve them in dark, remote corner, at a height where nobody would look? Understanding and decoding evidences like this is very hard, so most people will just jump to simple conclusions based on their bias. But what if, this Sun temple at Modhera was compromised somehow, and both these statues were only a few centuries old. Do we see the cross in any other Hindu temple?
I found another carving in the ancient Shikanathar Temple, which is 1200 miles away from the Modhera Sun temple.
Is this a cross? Obviously, there is this raised rectangle or square, but in the middle we can see that it is clearly a cross, very similar to the Christian cross. Why is it carved in this ancient Hindu temple ? This temple is at least 1300 years old, this is long before European conquerers came to India. Right now, you are going to be struggling with cognitive dissonance, on one hand, most historians tell us Christianity came through European conquerers and spread very slowly in India, and we know that Christian symbols are almost never found in Hindu temples. On the other hand, I am showing you actual evidences of the Christian cross in Ancient Indian temples. This is like going into a mall and finding a beach, inside the mall. It doesn’t belong there, right? So you have to decide if the mall is fake or the beach is fake, but in this case, both of them are real.
Now, the history of the cross itself is very interesting. Believe it or not, the cross is everywhere, it is found on your keyboard as a plus sign. It is found on your chessboard on top of the king, etcetera. It is almost impossible not to see the cross on a daily basis, mostly because Christianity is the largest religion in the world.
Now you can say, okay Praveen, that is all fine, but did the Cross exist in India during ancient times independently, or was the symbol brought by Christians into India? The answer is Yes, the cross did exist in India more than 2000 years ago. The word for Cross in Sanskrit Language was Chathur or Chathvari. The word simply means four, the number 4. The earliest evidence I can find, is in the Brahmi Script, from 2nd century B.C, that is just a little bit older than 2000 years. And it is real easy to understand, how they wrote the numerals in Brahmi script. This is One, this is two, this is three and this is four. So the cross actually meant four and was called Chathur, perhaps this symbol refers to the Chathur Vedas, or the four Vedas.
Now, I consider this evidence as weak, because it is only about a hundred years older than the time of Jesus. So I started digging around, then, I found some real mind boggling evidence on the internet. They have found cave paintings of people worshipping the cross. Here you can see a gigantic cross, and there is one guy with raised hands as though he is communicating with it. This is found in the hills of Madhya Pradesh in Central India. Here is another one, from the same area, a giant cross in the center, and lots of people standing around the cross, as though they are praying. They have been found and dated by mainstream experts and they confirm that these cave paintings are pre-historic, made between 10,000 and 3000 years ago. So, even if we are super cynical and pick the the most recent timeline, these cave paintings were made 1,000 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. So, People in India were in fact, worshipping the cross independently, for some reason. I would have never even imagined that ancient Indians would have worshipped the cross, as a part of some religious ritual.
In this video, I have shown you some solid evidences of the existence of the cross in ancient Hindu temples. And you also saw how the cross not only existed in India during ancient times, it was even used and worshipped in prehistoric times before the Birth of Christianity. But, do we know what the Original Indian Cross really meant? No. What was the original meaning and purpose of this cross? What God did it represent?

WAIT! Did Ancient Builders Hide Secret Symbols All Over This Temple?

Hey guys, today I am going to show you some secret carvings that are hiding in plain sight. What do you see? Do you see a fish? Our eyes are naturally attracted to the pillars and the giant doorway, but if we look at this wall here.. we can see a fish carved on the wall. Why is it carved here? What could possibly be the reason for this?

The fish is not carved with great details, or polished, it is specifically carved vaguely so it is not visible to casual visitors. However, when we inspect it closely, it appears to be a fancy, ornamental fish, look at how many fins are shown, including the tail fin. Why did ancient builders carve it here? Is it some kind of a symbol or signal, but why is it carved in a place where nobody will look?

Here you can this beautiful monolithic pillar, and you can be easily be mesmerized by the details on the warriors, but 99% of the visitors will miss this pair of kissing fish. Why are they carved here? Look at the details on these fish, they are simply fantastic. But why would they be placed 20 feet above the ground, in a place where nobody is looking? What is the meaning of this?

I am zooming in with my phone, look at the tail, this is a pair of exotic fish, this carving is too pretty to be placed at such a height. What is the need to carve fishes all over the temple in this way? And why did ancient builders place them in a way that people will not notice these fish?

 Look at this one, but you are probably not even seeing it now, because you are only human. The fish are actually right there in front of you, but 99% of people will take a good look at this, but will completely miss these fish. It seems as though the ancient builders were masters of hiding things in plain sight by exploiting basic human tendencies.

Now, forget about documenting the symbolism or finding the meaning behind them, it is impossible even to find all the hidden fish carvings. How can anyone possibly expect a visitor to observe this fish.  I have visited this temple so many times, that’s why you see me in so many different outfits in the same temple. I have even grown a beard now, but every time I come here, I will find more and more fish carvings. A lot of them are hidden in dark corners. Why are there so many? There must be some reason for this, right?

But there is one detail I find very interesting in some of the carvings. You can see this raised rectangle, around the fish, is this rectangle just a border for carving or is it an actual container that has the fish inside.  Is this a fish inside a glass container, like how you would find a specimen in a biology lab to study its external morphology. If you look at various types of fishes in a lab, this is probably how you would see them. You would see the fish, but you would also see the glass container around it. And we can see this in many carvings in this area, especially with fish and other animals or plants. Were ancient Indians studying the types of fishes and classifying them, just like how biologists study them today? Today we see them put labels and arrows on them to point out some features. 

Here, we can see Two fish, one following another, but there is an arrow mark, a triangle marked between them. I mean what is that? The first fish’s tail ends here, but there is a triangle after that, like they are trying to mark its tail. And then there is another fish. And again, everything is inside a raised rectangle like a bottle or a glass container in a biology lab.

And here we can see this fish, it does not have eyes. And it does not have any features at all. Do you know there are several varieties of blind fishes in deep oceans and rivers? Look at this blind fish, no eyes, very little scales or colors. These are rare types that nobody can find unless you go deep into the water and research them. How could they carve a blind fish in this ancient temple? Again, was it displayed in a glass jar, for scientific purposes? Were they studying and documenting different type of fishes?

Here, you can see a carving of fish, it is so large, You can see all its features, various fins, dorsal and pectoral fins and its mouth and tail. In the next pillar, you can see another fish. Perhaps you think it is the same kind, but there are some differences, its eyes are popping out, unlike the previous one. On the side of this pillar, again another fish. At the back of the previous pillar, again another fish. But why? On the third side of this pillar, again another fish. A very odd thing to carve. Why would they just keep carving fish after fish in these pillars? Why is each fish different? I think they are showing us various species of fishes.

Look at this carving, this fish looks quite exotic, if we paint on it, they will look really awesome. This is like a pair of ornamental fish we buy for the fish tank at home.  In my mind, there is no doubt that the ancient builders were trying to document various types of fishes, and show them to us, like how we watch a video today, about varieties of fishes on animal planet.

But it is not just the classification of various types of fishes. Depending on your inclinations, you can find other things, like behavior and psychology. I think this why they carved one fish, closely following another fish. Some of you may think, they are fighting, or the fish at the back is trying to hunt and eat the fish in the front. But look at the size of this fish, a smaller fish is pursuing a larger fish. So they are not fighting, it is the opposite, this is called coupling, male fish will usually follow the female, in a coupling ritual, for mating. And it is precisely carved because the males are usually smaller and thinner while the females are usually larger, and the males always pursue the females. I mean this is just remarkable, how ancient builders must have studied all the little details of these fishes.

And here you can another behavior, 2 fish kissing, right? But it is actually the opposite, they are not kissing, here they are fighting. When 2 fish are kissing, they are most probably showing territorial aggression, like two animals fighting for their space. Of course, we are only analyzing these carvings from kind of a scientific point of view. If you are artistic, you will start looking at these carvings in a completely different angle.

For example you can see two fish, but they are not kissing, they are doing something else. They are sharing one head. If we hide one fish, we can pretend that this head belongs to the other fish, and we can also do it the other way, it is an optical illusion. Today, science, art, spirituality, they are all separate fields, but in ancient times, everything was mixed together.

I hope you enjoyed this 1300 year old  Wikipedia about fish. Of course, we never decoded, why ancient builders carved some of these in weird places where no one would look. Why did they do that?

Ancient Egyptian Symbols Hidden in Indian Temple? Secret of Snakes & Pinecone

Hey guys, today, let’s go into this forbidden area of this 1300 year old temple, nobody has ever filmed this area, but it has some strange secrets hidden inside. Here you can see a snake, a cobra with its open hood. But the strange detail is on the top. It is shown with a crown or a headdress on top. This detail is never carved in Indian temples, because it is simply not a part of Hindu Iconography. But why is it carved in this temple, and why was it placed in a dark corner, hidden away from regular visitors?

But here is a 2000 year old artifact, looks almost identical to the carving right? A cobra with an open hood, and it has the same crown or headdress. But this not from India, this is an ancient Egyptian artifact. Coincidence? What about this one? Again, from ancient Egypt, a cobra with a crown. Again and again, we can see that snakes are shown with crowns in Ancient egypt. So how is this typical Egyptian Carving Found in India? But we shouldn’t jump to a conclusion just because we found one similar carving, so let us see if we find anything else here.

And just a few pillars away from this carving, we can see this carving. Intertwined snakes are common in Hindu temples, but there is a big difference, there is something carved in between them here. It is a little bit eroded, but there is definitely something carved between their hooded heads. I am using my phone’s flashlight, but this area is very dark, so I cannot decipher what it is.

The only way to find out what it is, is to find a similar carving in a bright area in the same temple. Here, look at this carving . Two intertwined snakes, and a pinecone like object in between, but the pinecone is placed on a stem. Immediately I am reminded of an Egyptian artefact, now displayed in the museum of Turin, in Italy. This artifact was supposedly made around 1200 BC, that means it is 3200 years old. And It shows the same details, there are two intertwined snakes, and there is a pinecone like object with a stem in between them. Now, what’s more interesting to me is the tiny little detail, both these snakes are shown with crowns or headdresses. This is the detail that really seals the deal. It is found on the Egyptian artifact, as well as this Indian carving. How can this Hindu temple in India,  have ancient Egyptian carvings? This temple is 3,000 miles away from Egypt. so how was such a connection possible during ancient times?

And what is this object in between the snakes? Is it really a pinecone? Or is it something else? Well, nobody seems to know the real answer to this, some even claim that this is not a real thing, this whole thing is just a mystical symbol. Now, let us explore some other carvings in these dark areas,   may be we can find more carvings and understand this better. 

We can see a lot of very strange, unexplainable carvings. But here, we can see these intertwined snakes, and on top, we can find the pinecone. The pinecone is above the heads of the snakes, but it does not have a long stem. So, it cannot just be a symbol, because it differs from the previous carving. So what is it? There, in a distance, we can see another carving. At first, it looks the same right, but as we go closer, we can see that, the pinecone has been inverted, and it has also moved below the head level of the snakes. What does this mean? Look at the second loop of the intertwined snakes, again you can see an inverted pinecone there too. What is this object? Why is it shown in different positions in different carvings? How is it connected to snakes? Are they really pinecones? Since India does not have any pinecones trees, how did ancient builders carve them here? Again, we can see the crowns on the snakes, clearly an Egyptian depiction.

And what is more interesting is that we can see all these details separately in an ancient Egyptian site called catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa. This is about 2000 years old. You can see the giant snake with the crown in the middle. On the left, you can see intertwined snakes, and on the right, you can see the mysterious pinecone like thing with a stem. Like Ancient Indians, Egyptians also depicted Snakes everywhere.

And Egyptians carvings and paintings also show Snake Whisperers. I know this may sound silly to you, especially since snakes cannot hear sounds,  and you may wonder if they have enough intelligence to understand us. But snake whispering was practised in Ancient Egypt.

And here in this Indian temple, we can see the exact same depiction of a snake whisperer. I have never seen this type of carving in an ancient Hindu temple, where a person is just sitting real close and talking to a cobra.  See how he is shown completely fearless and he is clearly communicating with it. He has nothing, no stick or anything, and Look at the size of the snake, it is almost as big as the man, it is a king cobra. Of course, you can think, this is nonsense, this can never happen in real life, these carvings are pure mythology, but that’s not true. Snake whisperers exist even today, they claim they can talk and even understand what the snake is trying to say, just like a pet dog. You can see these people handling giant king cobras, just how we pet puppies. Exactly the same depictions are shown in ancient Egypt as well.

So what do you think, is this all just a mere coincidence? Or do these carvings prove that ancient India and Egypt were connected? Why are these snakes shown with crowns? What is the real meaning of these intertwined snakes and the pinecone like thing? Why are these carvings placed in deep, dark, inaccessible areas? What about the snake whisperer?
