Did you know about the Kailasa Temple of Ellora, India?
Kailasa Temple is the World’s Largest Monolithic Structure. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is Carved from Top to Bottom out of a single volcanic basaltic rock, through vertical excavation.
The work started at the top and moved downwards using mysterious advanced technology and not just chisels and hammers. Even the sculptures at this enigmatic temple are carved from the same piece of rock as the rest of the temple. Everyone is trying to understand how the temple was built, and it is hard to be demolished.
Kailasa Temple is designed to resemble the abode of God Shiva, Mount Kailash. Kailasa temple is the World’s Oldest Single-Rock Carving, and it is double in size that of the Parthenon in Athens.
No one knows about the origins, the builders, and the constructors of the temple. The entire construction does not reveal any date or depict a name indicating the carving dates.
Some felt it was built by aliens but what aliens would build a temple on a planet far away? It was commissioned by Rashtrakuta King Krishna the first.
