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.

  • madar chot islam is the worst religion....fuck these muslims

  • As a former Muslim, one thing I really love about Hinduism is how open it is. And how it is a guilt free society about Sex and Pleasure.

  • @Faraz70 islam koota religion hai, mother chod religion. i am used to be muslim but now i respect hinduism and lord krishna and rama

  • i hate allah

  • @thecakeymaiden

    I didn't understand your comment/ reply !!

  • @adarshguptak hes reading a script asshole

  • Most important and annoying point is presence of Khajura temples as a discouraging thing for the westeners to visit India, but let me remind him that the Khajuraho group of monuments is the most visited after the Taj Mahal !!

  • The narrator seems to be extremely ignorant of the true sense behind the temples. I really wonder his immaturity in not being able to understand the spiritual superiority and the age-old maturity in our Indian culture and civilization when the Europeans were savages and Americans were tribal..

  • The biggest toilet in the world!
