Kailasa temple is 1200 year old Ancient Hindu Temple Carved from a single rock in Ellora stands majestically 29 kilometers away
It was constructed by Krishna I, the king belonging to the Rashtrakuta dynasty
Ground plan of the temple.

Krishna I clearly had more time on his hands than most people do. I wonder how long it took him to carve that?

As an actual working archaeologist (though apparently not a very good one), how did I not fucking know about this?

How do you know the rock is single? It could have a low key girlfriend that you've just never met

Welcome to Ancient History, where Kings were considered Gods and slave lives didnt matter.
nightrodrider
It was built by master carvers that were paid wages and came themselves by choice.

Dude, looks like u watched lot of documentaries abt the pyramids. Trust me, the ancient hindu temples were not built by slaves.
TurinTuranbar
Lol yeah i know its just what came to mind. Still valid for the vast majority though.

How did this one survive all the damage and looting that other Hindu ruins suffered?
LeoA466
The Muslim invaders tried it. but they couldn't bcoz it was carved from a mountain. If u go there u can see slightly damaged figures...
Markavian
They say carved, I think they mean revealed.

There are churches in Ethiopia that were built the same way just carving them out of solid rock

I was in that temple last week and it really is awesome! and it is peaceful because most of the people have no idea about this temple 1/2
abzone7
2/2 there are 34 temples carved out like this one near by they are called ellora temples or something. As a arch student this was porn,

Doesn't say that in the post... Just says "29 km away" lol. Makes me think it's a lazy copy/paste repost!

They didn't do this because it was easy but because it was hard.

There is extensive evidence that this temple was made by aliens. #AncientAliens
