The Complete ELLORA CAVES [4K]: World's greatest rock-cut Temples | Wonders of Ancient India, Ep. 4

[@kenash88]

Great job on this video! You put a lot of work into it and it shows. Thanks!

[@rebeccamartin2399]

I have watched a few shows on these caves and always came away with the feeling these shows were inadequate in showing the glory and history of these caves. You proved me right. The footage and all the information about this amazing place made for a wonderful and informative evening. Excellent work, Thanks.

[@UnchartedRuins]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for your appreciation! 🙏

I can feel the range and anger towards the islamic invaders whenever i see a statue with it's face knowingly broken.

[@Italliving]

shameful religion of hate , nothing but prove off their hatred for all other religions

[@Samj03]

Perhaps, They are waiting to get the justice on all the did's they had been enduring so far.

[@rolfebowers2826]

Historical bias should not be used to polarize opinion or discredit a culture. And yet, erasing the past is a huge barrier to human progress. So we should bear in mind when we see it that no one m’s ancestors were exempt. Christians did it to Greek and Roman statutes. Egypt did to Hatshepsut. as do any modern gaslighting propagandists. such editing suggests one’s narrative cannot withstand abundant evidence to contrary.

[@Italliving]

@@rolfebowers2826 It still is a human occupation and a flaw to erase older cultures, stigmatization or other reasons or believes And then they wonder why, who did what or when and how? If you really want the know the past in human future civilizations start now and then you will know the past for our future generations.

[@jessewade4557]

This is simply AMAZING!!! I wonder why they didn't teach us about these marvelous caves!! It is almost unimaginable the work that went in to creating these beautiful statues and pillars. Humans are incredible creatures right?! This is a great video. I am a new subscriber!

[@UnchartedRuins]

Thank you! 🙏

[@arthurdanielles4784]

Current HUMANS ARE NOT SO incredible when it comes to comparisons to the Ancients PRE Younger Dryas. FACT. YET so many want to give India the credit that is NOT theirs.

ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING MARVAL OF THE ANCHIANT WORLD ,THIS PLACE IS MY ONE IN A LIFTIME BUCKET LIST TO VISIT,thank you for such an incredible insight to ONE OF THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE ANCHIANT WORLD ,WE THINK WE ARE SO CLEVER THEAS DAYS,,WE HAVE NOT PROGRESSED IN OUR MODERN BUILDING TECHNOLOGY, TRULY EXRODINARY MARVAL OF CONSTRUCTION❤❤

[@UnchartedRuins]

Thank you for liking the video. This is truly one of the most incredible ancient sites anywhere in the world.

[@sathyanithysadagopan3594]

Very nicely explained. Thanks for the interesting video. I went to this place but didn't have enough time to explore so many details. There are not enough hotels closer to these areas. Elora caves and Ajanta painting caves are very interesting places to visit. Well done document. Thanks again.

[@UnchartedRuins]

Thank you! 🙏

[@davelockhart5250]

Thank you for the documentary. That was really informative and expanded my perception of caves. I did not know that they were damaged so much from the tribes. Attacking and occupying... That's pretty evil to try to destroy someone's entire heritage. India has a very strong culture and will not be erased or wiped out

Where the world is busy in marketing artificial structures, India, on the other hand, is land of wonders ...these caves should have been 7th Wonder ...far-far ahead of Tajmahal

[@arhumfarooq7259]

This is pretty good but I don’t think it should replace the Taj Mahal. It should replace the Christ redeemer statue in Brazil. The statue was built in the 1900s. There is nothing really historic about it when compared to site like these in the Taj.

[@Pushin-P007]

They won't give 2 wonders to India or else this is also one of the wonders of the world PS: i had the same comment

[@arhumfarooq7259]

@ honestly the whole wonders of the e world thing is kind of dumb in my opinion. UNESCO world heritage site grading is better. It even puts sites on the itenerary for tourists too. It also means they are preserved better (most of the time.)

Looks like that whole mountain was melted then somebody in modern times went through there and excavated the remains.

[@IronRangeGreens]

Why are the pillars mirror smooth and the floor looks like a riverbed ?

[@UnchartedRuins]

@@IronRangeGreens They were probably polished, same as the floors.

[@SatansAvocado]

What happened to all the removed rock? Where is it?

[@UnchartedRuins]

That’s anybody’s guess. There is a theory some of the rock may have been used to create an artificial reservoir nearby.

[@Pushin-P007]

Maybe underground just like the rest of history of India,the world from ancient civilizations to mordern civilization

[@thehawkseye3412]

Stones have many uses. It was most likely used at other places as building material, sculptures, stone pots, tiles, mortar and pastels, sil-batta, hand mill etc. Why would the removed rocks be left there in the first place.

[@vairavanvairavan4844]

​@@thehawkseye3412 There were only bullock carts and horse carriages were available. The trucks were not there for their disposal. How could have they transported rock rubble/ waste to far off places.

[@thehawkseye3412]

@@vairavanvairavan4844 Dude, you talk like they moved everything within a week. Those caves were carved over a period of many centuries and different dynasties. Quit Pardeep mohan or such channels and find proper historical sources.

[@mgkrewson]

These temples are beautiful. No chance they were built in as little as 18 years though, especially the Kailasa temple. Think of our grandest European cathedrals: these each took many decades, even over a century to build, and they’re smaller in scope than the Kailasa temple. We’re either looking at centuries of work here in this cave complex, or we’re looking at rock cutting done with lost technology

[@akkitty22]

Not carved, dug out of ashes and mud. 1) You can see the external walls have rectangular melted brick 2) The mud and ash filled the entire area 3) The buildings were encased in super heated stone melting over it - and you can see circular airpockets all over the place indicating super heating event 4) The interiors were encased and then needed only to be observed for the cracking and broken into with pickaxes. 5) The entire structure may have been various materials but through an unknown event or process became "stone". Perhaps some variation of a plasma event? There were no thousand years of carving of any temple. Furthermore, it may not have been a temple at all - just a dwelling, company building, or palace for someone. They needed protection so they had a massive wall surrounding it (in part it appears to have collapsed as you can see it sloping with the super heated melting that flooded over this area). There was no carving done, except digging of ash, mud and stone debris. To have done so with chisels is absolutely ludicrous and the burden of proving this flimsy explanation is upon those making these absurd claims. The builders used machines, high tech drills and all manner of exotic materials to build a lavish palace for some person or group. A huge destructive, super heated event occurred and concealed it safely. Pockets of air preserved a lot of ornate detail and structure, but it did not prevent the 'reinterpretation' of the matter (copper, glass, metal) into stone. Observe carefully, the melting evidence in all the corners of this building complex. The evidence is there for the willing and free thinking. One last remark, is the blackening on the stones everywhere on this site indication of sulfur?

[@Pushin-P007]

This couldve easily been the wonders of the world but they won't give 2 wonders to India

[@UnchartedRuins]

To me, the Ellora Caves would be far more worthy of being counted among the Wonders of the World than the Taj Mahal. It is a pity that so many people have never even heard about this incredible site.

[@ElektrikMonk]

Looks like everyone went to bed and got up the next day with amnesia on how to build monuments again... the interpretations leave a lot to be desired. Great documentary though, thank you so much.

[@UnchartedRuins]

Thank you! 🙏

[@andrepichen4373]

The quality of the video and storytelling is perfect, but I got to tell you, please consider hiring professional voice actor, the air-pop's in the microphone and the accent doesn't do good for such an important and professional material.

[@vinylzappa]

Were the temples built, like early British castles, with no doors ?

[@somewhereyouarent]

and they did it with chisels and other hand tools....HAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHWHAHWA.... it's utterly BAFFLING, and quite insulting to think those in positions of academia or leadership, would have us believe that these rock-cut caves, UNEQUALED ANYWHERE ON EARTH, were constructed without advanced tools and machinery...WOW...such disrespect.

[@UnchartedRuins]

Archaeological science still has a lot to explain concerning the methods by which these caves were carved. Nowhere else in the world was a project on this scale ever undertaken.

[@arthurdanielles4784]

The original caves are NOT INDIA. INDIA did NOT exist back n the time of the Ancients BEFORE THE YOUNGER DRYAS. Whereas these did! India as always is quick to con others when it comes to be economical with the truth. FACT. There are 3 main races to be found here. 1, Pre Younger Dryas.. 2. Post Younger Dryas but pre flood 3 Post the flood era.. NOT one Indian, ANYONE on EARTH, had the capabilities nor the abilities to produce the caves and the PRE YOUNGER DRYAS statues, symbols STRUCTURES. FACT! The Ancients, Ramayana, Buddhist idolatory.

Ambedkarite alert...I wish Babasaheb Ambedkar visited this place . He would have got a better understanding of Buddhism & Hinduism

[@UnchartedRuins]

Can you please elaborate? Most historians and architectural historians agree on the sequence of development of the Ellora cave temples, and the evidence for earlier Buddhist temples being converted to Hindu and Jain temples is overwhelming.

[@thehawkseye3412]

@@UnchartedRuins Nope. Ellora caves had three important building periods: an early Hindu period (~550 to 600 CE), a Buddhist phase (~600 to 730 CE) and a later Hindu and Jain phase (~730 to 950 CE). Each of them made their own cave temples without bothering the other. Also what conversion? Earlier Buddhists made stupa= with relics of Buddha. That is usually a mound. Not really a "temple". Temple architect is distinct. The destroyed idols at Ajanta/Ellora site of all sort happened much later like in 1682 on order of Mughal ruler Aurangzeb. Instead of distorians aka historians with political agenda, read the archeological reports and right chronology of these caves.
