The lost temples of India part 1 of 6 discovery channel documentary

The Mysteries of Asia three-part video series was originally produced for the Learning Channel. During this segment, historians and others examine temples built in India more than 1,000 years ago. They remain quite intriguing, though today's tourists rarely visit them. Records reveal that trained elephants had to drag millions of stone blocks to help erect these structures. The program notes that due to the temples' size, the U.S. Senate, Versailles, the Houses of Parliament, and St. Paul's Basilica in Rome could all fit within a single one of them. Michael Bell narrates as footage and animated maps are used to help viewers learn more about what these ancient structures look like and why they were built. Asia is a continent steeped in ancient cultures, religions, and buildings. In this intriguing program, we are transported to this exotic land and examine the mysteries behind some of the most fascinating structures found there. Southern India has the largest temple complexes ever built. In "Lost Temples of India", we examine these 1,000-year-old temples adorned with intricate and beautiful sculptures. We learn how the kings used large herds of trained elephants to drag the millions of stone blocks into place and how these temples are virtually unknown and unvisited by Western tourists. Truth or fiction, the stories of Mysteries of Asia will amaze and delight.

To any Arab person who has read my previous posts. Don't take it personally. It's only unwanted Pakis here that create an atmosphere of tension and hatred. Pakis follow a hate-based conspiracy theory culture in their country. They are brainwashed from the very beginning since they are children. As a result, many end up losing their intelligence when the reach their adulthood.

please explain: why do muslims vehemently destroy or prevent the building of places of worship by other religions? who are they to do this? being the newest kid on the block. Islam advocates peace, tolerance, blah blah.. show us. given the events of the past 1600 odd years, it is hard for me to believe this.

@MinecraftHDGameplay He just told truth. Go to pakistan and read history book of their primary schools.

@zakuza92 I lived in Pakistan for 12 years, there are dozens of pakistani families around where i live, you just offended every single one.

@MinecraftHDGameplay,

How many Pakis have you seen or met in Pakistan? In North America or Europe, some Pakis might be sophisticated or living a lavish lifestyle, but their mentality is what matters. Education, training, and grooming are three things that make them less level-headed.

@1234indianboy

pakistan was western india before the english empire invaded with their british allies .

the indus valley in south eastern pakistan has many similarities to the hindus of northern india .

[1234indianboy]

@ukgreaterlondon Pakistanis didnt create Hindu religion. After all pakistan was formed in 1947 and muslims came to india only in the 11th century. The India of the past extended upto Afganistan..

[facciaditosta]

The explanations by this announcer etc is so totally ignorant of the spiritual practices portrayed. The lingam IS NOT A PHALLUS! to begin with. and he should have done alot more research. He associates everything with sex and ignorance of the truth involved here.

I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know wat Roman Empire was nor I'm interested in knowing about it. But I do know tht British Empire was an evil empire meant to enslave the entire humanity and throw it in a vicious circle of greed, selfishness, envy, and agony. It was beyond evil. Someth'g tht can really shake your soul. It's Divide and Rule policies are the most cruel in the history of humanity or even mankind. Spiritual Barbarism is England's gift to the world.
