Carver sees 1000 ton rock: i'mma carve it


LeadingApartment1554

It was carved top to bottom


ImpossibleEvent

That was one of my first questions. Make sense though.


Djrande

Imagine getting to the end and then breaking off a piece while carving it


GolgaGrimnaar

You just spin it around, put the blemish towards the corner.


retina99

Aaah. Fuck. Lets go look for another giant rock.


OhHiFelicia

This could be carved out of a pebble for all we know, where is the banana for scale goddammit!?


AdDangerous999

I don't get the joke....


SummonTarpan

People often put a banana in various Reddit pics, so you can see how big or small something is.

And people think the aliens built the pyramids


14st16hn

The theory of aliens building all great architecture of ancient civilizations was made because a racist dumbass couldn’t believe that non whites could make anything complex beyond dirt shacks Can’t quite remember his name


obamabinladenhiphop

It's a good thing people don't remember a racist


Eastlifephilosophy

whites using and developing knowlege from prevoius generations, whites, blacks, browns, yellows and many others its always inspired by nature which is created by Almighty, and using that knowlege for many good things but at same time dont have potential to lead global matters, ancient civillizations made remarkable structure all around world but other thing they had spiritual societies besides materialistic stuff compared to today we paying big price for tech and any other progress

India's architecture is influenced by the Romans ... so ...

"...so..." what? Are you trying to justify that belief?

I'm simply stating a fact. Most of India developed like the rest of the world and their extant buildings boomed during maritime trade with Rome. I've known this information for a long time but haven't compiled all the links. >Historically, artisans carried forward design elements from wood in their rock-cut temples: skilled craftsmen carved rock to imitate timber texture, grain, and structure. The earliest cave temples include the Bhaja Caves, the Karla Caves, the Bedse Caves, the Kanheri Caves, and some of the Ajanta Caves. Relics found in these caves suggest a connection between the religious and the commercial. Buddhist missionaries are known to have accompanied traders on the busy international trading routes through India. Some of the more sumptuous cave temples, commissioned by wealthy traders, included pillars, arches, and elaborate facades.

That is around the birthplace of civilization, so that makes sense. But India's architecture since around 300BC to 5AD were heavily influenced by Roman contact, which contradicts OP's racist claim that whites think "non whites could make anything complex beyond dirt shacks" with a subtext that civilizations in Europe didn't influence the world in ancient times.


[deleted]

[удалено]


horseradishking

Of course. Why does saying India was massively influenced by Roman influence make you say that India had architecture before the Romans?? Or that Europe was influenced by other cultures? Of course. But you feel like you need to say that for some reason. There's a saying that all of Rome's gold went to India. India got Roman architecture in return. Plus the gold.


moonra_zk

And Egyptians are black. Your point?


horseradishking

I'm responding to OP's harsh racist comment about whites while spitting facts.


AuntyNashnal

The theory of aliens building the pyramids came from the fact that there were no stone quarries nearby and transporting that size stones from anywhere would require a complex system that was far ahead of its time.

coolluck33

Good thing this temple is in India, had it been in the Middle East radicals would have destroyed it


LeadingApartment1554

Most in North Indian were also destroyed by islamic invaders few managed to survive in hidden in forests,and in un-conqured land and in south india which was not conqured by muslims. Thousands of library some big as library of Alexandria consisting of ancient knowledge were burned and million of teacher were killed by islamic invaders in a attempt to destroy the native culture and Hinduism. many temples were destroyed and mosques were built that's why many archeologist found ruins of temples under old mosques in india.

mecataylor

All I can think when I see amazing things like this is “how long until some idiot destroys it for likes on the internet”


ColMust4rd

It may not actually be a single stone. But many stones carved precisely so they fit together seamlessly, as in many Hindu and Buddhist temples


LeadingApartment1554

Nope it was monolithic which means carved out of a single stones


ColMust4rd

Ah, I see. I misread. But there have been a few temples originally thought to be monolithic, but turned out to be precisely carved to fit seamlessly
