Rare Treasure - The Ajanta Caves

The Ajanta Caves are rock-cut cave monuments dating from the second century BCE, containing paintings and sculpture considered to be masterpieces of both "Buddhist religious art" and "universal pictorial art".
The complex of Ajanta consists of several viharas (monastic halls of residence) and chaitya-grihas (stupa monument halls) cut into the mountain scarp in two phases.

When you see wonders like this and you compare them to what was and has been created in the Western countries there was created an idea that those cultures were supposed to be superior to those in the East, civilisation was created in the East when barbarians lived else where.
