There's some incredibly impressive megalithic structures in India. Look up Ajanta and Ellora caves. I believe the Ellora temple is the largest monolithic structure ever created
the Ellora caves deserve to be their own post. Idiots think aliens mustve built it because theres no debris field.. I'm pretty sure its more likely that pilgrims took home small pieces of carved rock for centuries.
They've always had a monsoon cycle were there were periods of unsustainable growth leading up to a famine.
When things were good, this stuff is what the leaders had people work on, instead of preparing for the famines.
So....
The Indian region has historically has been pretty resilient to famines, the exception to that is during British rule there were several famines leading to the starvation and deaths of millions. The consensus seems to be that these famines were a result of British policy. I've never heard of this unsustainable growth and famine argument I'd love to read more if you can provide sources
Periods of unsustainable growth leading to a famine? Can you quote any sources on that?
Yet, somehow the largest population
It's not a boulder, it's a rock. Oh the pioneers used to ride these everywhere.
But domesticating them was not a job for the cowboy with the faint of heart.
According to YouTube this could have been dug it with a stick by a single person in a few days. Also, there would be a a pool somewhere.
This is clearly a spaceship long forgotten when the aliens abandoned humanity.
It wasn’t aliens, it was brown people.
Older than that, the Barabar caves are over 2,200 years old.
Looks like something out of a Giger painting.
Early game Minecraft shelter.
Seems like there would be an easier way to make a guest house.
Where is this?
Thanks :)
This cave is not a natural formation.
Wut? This smooth? Must be aliens

LOL!
It's the Mauryan polish. More @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauryan_polish

That's actually very interesting. Thanks for the link. Apparently there might even be greek influences in the polishing materials.
Could be a wonderful tornado or hurricane shelter.
This seems more than mildly interesting?
wildly interesting
Supposedly they were measured by lasers and the room is as precise as the lasers. It's insane!
That's some incredible stone work right there, how would you go about building it? Maybe one could make a wood arc to serve as a guidance for the shape of the ceiling when you're carving it? I have no idea how to approach the carving and smoothing of a floor so flat with ancient tech 🙃
Easy. You just use an ancient electric angle grinder
