The First Photographs Ever Taken of India (1860-1870 by Samuel Bourne) Old World Architecture

Howdy ya’ll. Today we will look at the oldest known photographs of India, dated to the 1860’s and taken by Samuel Bourne. I have translated the original titles of the images and included them on the relevant photographs. These are some of the most astounding Old World photographs I have come across recently, and I can’t wait to hear what you think about these images in the comment section down below. Enjoy!

[@solelysoul8543]

The colonial powers were authorized by Papal bull 1452,1453, 1492,1493 to CONQUER, CONVERT and ENSLAVE the world. In order to enslave, people from one part of the world were ruthlessly uprooted and carted to some other land. This ensured perpetual slavery. Moreover, the masses were converted by aggression, bloodshed, massacre, terror, torture, violence, intimidation and deceit. The fear of God ensured obedience. The colonial powers, supported by the church, exploited, colonized, looted and controlled the world.

Two observations as an Indian who's extensively traveled all over india. 1) The monuments, temples captured from 1860 were at that time itself very ancient monuments. Some dating back to 500 to 2000 years old. 2) As the British power centers were in Delhi and Calcutta at the time, the photographs capture mostly the architecture of that region. So we see a lot of mughal monuments in the picture. Apart from these, there are tons of very ancient hindu temples in other parts of India existing to date.

Sat Sri Akaal, 1. The British Colonists Created The Caste System, For Their Divide & Rule Policies. 2. They Also Created Sikhism To Divide & Rule Hinduism & Islam. 3. The Greek philosopher Pythagoras is considered the father of ethical vegetarianism. The Pythagorean way of life was followed by a number of important personalities and influenced vegetarian nutrition until the 19th century. The exact beginning of idol worship as known in current Hinduism is unknown. It could actually be quite recent (Recent like around 500 BC. ). During the period of the Indus Valley civilization, there many statues and idol like objects found. Historians have shown that at the time of the oldest Hindu sacred text, the Rig Veda (dated to the second millennium B.C.), cow meat was consumed by Indians. Over time, particularly from the fourth century B.C., vegetarianism began to spread among India's Buddhists, Jains and some Hindus. Archaeological evidence from the islands of the Aegean Sea have yielded Neolithic era Cycladic figures from 4th and 3rd millennium BC, idols in namaste posture from Indus Valley civilization sites from the 3rd millennium BC, and much older petroglyphs around the world show humans began producing sophisticated images. 4. Many Verses Within The Vedas, Avesta, Cannon, Psalms, Torah & Gospel, Still Have Authentic Verses. 5. The Corrupted Verses From These Scriptures Sent, Are All The Double Dutch Verses, Which Contradict The Nature Of God. 6. All These Scriptures Testify God Being One. 7. All Later Verses With A Trinity Were Added, Some With Multiple Marvel Like Gods [Hinduism]. 8. The Noah Family: Vedas: There Is Only One God, There Is Only One Source, There Is Only One Supply. Avesta Zoroastrian: There Is Only One Wise God, Whom Is Uncreated. Buddhist Cannon: There Is Only One God, Whom Created Good & Evil. 9.

What I find most interesting in the India region is the excessive ornamentation work beyond other old world structures anywhere. Many similar building techniques, but the ornamentation work is over the top.

I think this was the result of discovery of iron and tools coupled with excessive variety of flora of fauna. The designs of nature, food security coupled with good weather and good tools made Indians hyper creative. Our standard complete set of jewelry has 16 things and called sola-shringer meaning, 16 ornaments.

[@Betelgeusewaitforit]

Hey Guys c'mon not everything is a joke. Yes indeed, there are many beautiful buildings across the world; you have caught the bull by the horn here. So we had the best architects build many amazing structures across the world. In the indian sub-continent there is a second layer on top of structures, these are where the Artisans give way to Artists.. every building commissioned was to be built to convey one or more or even whole concepts that should remain with the later generations. So when you see the ornamentation it's the written history & the same depicted in the most iconic and significant structures.. before 1200 AD, writing down and ensuring it's longevity was a major concern, so the ornamentation is basically a level of documentation as well as a showcase of the work of Artists. Artists in Hindi is "Kalakar" ; "Kal" = Tomorrow "Akar" = Shaping and creating a framework. Result: Those who shape the future of the society and imbibe framework and concepts into the next generation.. Constantly evolving and perpetual; that is the significance of Ornamentation. Many thanks for your keen observation.

@7:22 just a glance should be more than enough evidence to dispel all questions about advanced stages of civilization before 1800s. For the skill using chisel tools, this would be a marvel, given significant time to construct these statues. But since a different method was used, it is evidence the technique used for consistent statues like this was highly advanced - for masonry alone would be impressive! From an indian youtuber who has access to these historic locations, he has found that they ARE NOT all stone, some are metal type materials and so on. Furthermore, the depictions (heiroglyphics you may call it) he seems to have discovered are actually ANIMATIONS of movements of figures, animals and more if you lay out the entire panels over each other you will see MOTION. Marvels, alone, but combined with anomalous advanced references to genetics, energy tools and weapons, it is a real epiphany if you can accept it.

Many of our prizes artifacts aren't even in our country anymore but in British museums, the crown didn't do us any service by preserving it, certainly some indologists took interest in ancient artifacts but they didn't even hesitate to cut open a pillar to study the so called "ruins" when it was still a place where people worshipped

[@mcoeif]

​@@valetudan234Point of this thread is the British didn't destroy the ruins to subjugate or scare the locals, they didn't have to. They did that simply by pitting the many ethnic groups against each other. What you're describing in your post is the British doing archeology, they also did this in Egypt.

[@venitabanerjee]

Rubbish !!!.. the crown preserved the old & added new structures while in India ... If you get to see photos or know about India & it's past glory it is thanks to the crown ..& travellers who visited India . Had the prized artifacts not been preserved in the British museum today ...they would have been lost to humanity ... stolen or plundered by greedy selfish inhabitants who cannot even keep their nation, rivers , cities clean to date !!! , leave alone preserve the past ... to date ...they spit & urinate on temple walls & ancient structures ...throw their garbage in the rivers ....

If the Mughal empire destroyed India then why did India hold the majority of world trade up until 400 years ago? They were the most advanced large industrial society in the world 400 years ago. The people who destroyed the country were the British. 50 million people perished from starvation under the British empire, far worse than anything the Mughal empire did.

The Greek philosopher Pythagoras is considered the father of ethical vegetarianism. The Pythagorean way of life was followed by a number of important personalities and influenced vegetarian nutrition until the 19th century. The exact beginning of idol worship as known in current Hinduism is unknown. It could actually be quite recent (Recent like around 500 BC. ). During the period of the Indus Valley civilization, there many statues and idol like objects found. Historians have shown that at the time of the oldest Hindu sacred text, the Rig Veda (dated to the second millennium B.C.), cow meat was consumed by Indians. Over time, particularly from the fourth century B.C., vegetarianism began to spread among India's Buddhists, Jains and some Hindus. Archaeological evidence from the islands of the Aegean Sea have yielded Neolithic era Cycladic figures from 4th and 3rd millennium BC, idols in namaste posture from Indus Valley civilization sites from the 3rd millennium BC, and much older petroglyphs around the world show humans began producing sophisticated images. 4.

The last two tirthankara, the 23rd tirthankara Parshvanatha (c. 9th-8th century BCE) and the 24th tirthankara Mahavira. Jainism is one of the world's oldest religions, originating in India at least 2,500 years ago. The spiritual goal of Jainism is to become liberated from the endless cycle of rebirth and to achieve an all-knowing state called moksha. They Worship The Jinas [Jinn In Arabic] The Jinn Are Created From Energy, Whom Can Travel At Any Speed, Take Any Form, Whom Have The Free Will. Angels Do Not Have The Free Will, Whom Are Created From Light. They Too Can Travel At Any Speed & Take Any Form. Lucifer Was A Jinn, Whom Earned His Way Up To Work Amongst The Angels.

All The Angels Obeyed [No Free Will], Except Lucifer Being Of The Jinn [With Free Will], Refused To Bow Down. He Said He Was Greater Than Adam, Being Created From Energy, Whilst Adam Was Created From Earthly Mud. Then He Was Banished As Satan [The Accursed One], Given Power To Deceive The Whole Of Creation.

Temples dedicated to Lord Shiva and other deities worshipped by the majority Hindu community. Some of them are absolutely wonders that are living proof of the knowledge of engineering and other sciences Hindus possessed and applied over a millenium ago, much before Western society started working on different laws of physics, chemistry and the like.

these were taken in the very early hours. Just like if you visit the Taj Mahal...you go very early in the morning when they just open. There are hardly any people especially during the winter months when it is cold. Most Indians stay up late, have their dinner at 9 to 10pm. So they don't rise up too early. If they do, it is still very cold outside. They don't have heat in their homes like the West, so their houses are very cold in the early morning hours..Who wants to get out of a warm bed? If you stay in a 4star hotel you should have central heat and air, so you can afford to wake up early to visit the Taj. It is better to pay more and stay in one, so that you can visit the Taj before the crowds.

Here's the fact, might sound WILD but half of the ancient world, Ancient Imperial China and India ruled the world and both are the wealthiest nation's rich in gold and opulence as well as art, literature and culture. It is not Assyria or Mesopotamia or Egypt or Greek ,No disrespect but history is written by western colonialists so.... There it went.. oh and democracy wasn't a Greek invention either , before Athens figured it out ,my ancestors ( a small group of people in North eastern India) were living the perfect democratic republic life.. the difference between Athens Greek democracy and mine is,we do not own slaves,we do not divide ourselves between men and women,we did not kill off the old and infirm and the idiots. The society took care of everything, men go to war, women were left to take care of everything, education, business, agriculture, women inherited lands alongside their brothers, they have the first choice to pick , welcomed to speak at the senate and represent her household and speak for it. Ancient India might be the greatest of all .

[@cedriclynch]

These buildings could be built today, there are people with the necessary skills. The Swaminarayan temple in Bhuj (Gujarat) was so badly damaged in the earthquake of 2001 that it had to be demolished, and a new one has since been built in the same style as many of the old buildings with elaborate stone carvings.

​​@@jonathanm5661 Lol. How far will you white people go to discredit and invalidate India's history?? They are built by ancient indians, with their own knowledge, skills and technology. In case you didn't know, India has been brutally invaded, destroyed, killed in billions, all of their discoveries, inventions, knowledge burnt and destroyed, add identity and ethnic and religion based genocide (if the term exists), that had gone continuously for around thousand years by barbaric invaders, tell me how in the world can anyone survive and protect their knowledge or themselves for that long period of time? But still indians survived and protected as much they could. Atleast Research before blabbering imaginary theories.

1817 is when the first camera was invented. Just imagine if everyone had one back then.

[@corkygoss7403]

Thanks Jared. And of course we all love Praveen Mohan for the way he has reinvigorated a truly Global Historical reconsideration of Indian Temples using his YT channel. Humans are awesome. Plus even Francis Crick deduced that DNA could not come from the Primordial Soup, so was intentionally propagated here on Earth. Imagine.

[@random2829]

Praveen has a FANTASTIC channel!

[@user-tg3po1iv9v]

After Praveen starting whining about KZbin banning him and censoring him, I got upset on his behalf and tried starting boycott of KZbin. This got my channel banned so I can't post any videos. When I wrote to Praveen about it on one of his brand new videos while he was still responding to comments on it, he didn't care. I don't care what happens to him anymore.

So true brother ❤ Aum Namah Shiviaya

[@swatisquantum]

Humans are awesome. We have a grand history that no one fully grasps. Truth is stranger than fiction. But as we ask for the truth from The All-Knowing, we will be shown our story and we will in-turn bring it into our current timeline.

howdy jarid 👋 happy new year! interesting finds thanks!

[@stevefitzherbert]

thanks for sharing.❤

[@PillarsAndPowerlines]

These buildings are amazing! I’ve never seen them before. Beautiful video thank you!

[@nugsymalone1247]

India has been settled for hundreds of thousands of years. Anything showing from 1860 on is all relatively new compared to how old it is. Indians themselves are the result of amalgamation of almost all colored races of man, hence the old stories and imagery of different colored people in the distant past.

[@WildAlchemicalSpirit]

Bless India 🙏❤️🕉️

[@charlessmyth]

Impressive. The use of plate cameras probably helped with the definition. They weren't afraid to apply a lot of intricate decoration to the buildings :-)

[@edwardpatrickdetrafford-mo8347]

⚔️thank you. A splendid view of the wonders of India’s early architecture. As each photo wasn’t dated; I found myself searching for each date of construction.🛡️

Jaridddd love your channel bro, keep it up!! love u

[@YarrowPressburg]

Amazed at how few people in these photos, there was one with ghost images, I’m guessing it is because of how cameras work back then. Thanks for sharing.

[@iceberg789]

0:34 it's cool to see how old kalighat temple looked. these days due to overpopulation and merchant structures, there is hardly any way to visualize the overall structure of the building.

[@morgan97475]

Beautiful images. Thanks.

Always wondered what the old tower of sri rangam temple looked like, magnificent 🎉❤❤❤,

The Sumeri tower at 2 minute mark resembles the smoke of a couple of airships taking of. In the smoke and temple is their story told. All temple towers resemble a take off and their message is written in stone smoke and temples.
