Excellent explanations unraveling not only ancient architectural skills but also depths of emotional intelligence of ancients who inhabited sigiriya. Thanks to Prof somadeva for opening up doors to creative 🤔 thinking.

Dear Nuwan, thank you for you and Neth FM to help to extend our knowledge. Professor Raj Somadewa is a national asset for Sri Lanka, he is a walking library.
Can you please post some information about what happened to those skeletons? You mentioned some of the bones had cut marks on them. I guess, would've had happened while those people were alive? That suggests some kind of fight with bladed weapons. Assuming the skeletons were from the time of Sigiriya, then it can be speculated as an sign of showing respect for the dead by burying them right under the construction. The other possibility of course could be the skeletons predate the Sigiriya construction and the people who were building the structure weren't aware of the existence of the skeletons and simply built the new structure(new to the time or Sigiriya construction times). I've been wondering that it may be possible to accurately date the bones using carbon dating by getting samples from the bones from the middle of the bone. With some luck it may be even possible(in rare cases) to isolate some genetic information as well.

Hello Nuwan, I appreciate the thumbs up & the love. Can you please see if you can reply to my question by asking Prof. Somadeva? Thank you.

It could be the other way around too. Constructing the walls on their dead bodies could be a sign of disrespect and stamping authority over them. Not giving a proper funeral could be the kashyapa's way of expressing their rightful place in his kingdom.

@@neranjanlakmal9834 No doubt! Kashyapa was a perverted king with a distorted mind who painted the Sigiriya rock with bare breasted women, right? Perhaps, king Kashyapa killed those men, buried them right under the construction site and took their women as concubines, right??!! The most perverted and cruel king in the history of the Sinhalese, right???!!!
@@dtakamalakirthidissanayake9770 It is abundantly obvious he was a unique ruler with a mind that was capable of original thinking and more native Sinhala roots. Above all, he would've been a great artist or at least a king who had a keenest eye for creativity and great artwork. He basically, built his new settlement and city around Sigiriya. I suspect he wanted to keep some distance from the more traditional and older city of Anuradhapura for reasons we know and reasons we don't know. Either way, anybody who was in his royal shoes would not have wanted to settle in Anuradhapura. Sinhalese people should be grateful to this king for what he achieved and the message he left for the humanity about what we can achieve.
