    There’s some incredibly impressive megalithic structures in India. Look up Ajanta and Ellora caves. I believe the Ellora temple is the largest monolithic structure ever created

      the Ellora caves deserve to be their own post. Idiots think aliens mustve built it because theres no debris field… I’m pretty sure its more likely that pilgrims took home small pieces of carved rock for centuries.

      They’ve always had a monsoon cycle were there were periods of unsustainable growth leading up to a famine.

      When things were good, this stuff is what the leaders had people work on, instead of preparing for the famines.

      So…

        The Indian region has historically has been pretty resilient to famines, the exception to that is during British rule there were several famines leading to the starvation and deaths of millions. The consensus seems to be that these famines were a result of British policy. I’ve never heard of this unsustainable growth and famine argument I’d love to read more if you can provide sources

          Only if you ignore the thousands of years of famine before the British, and the recent famines after the British…

            thousands of years of famine? I’d love to read more let me know! Also I don’t believe there have been any famines after the British left.

        Periods of unsustainable growth leading to a famine? Can you quote any sources on that?

    It’s not a boulder, it’s a rock. Oh the pioneers used to ride these everywhere.

    According to YouTube this could have been dug it with a stick by a single person in a few days. Also, there would be a a pool somewhere.

    This is clearly a spaceship long forgotten when the aliens abandoned humanity.

    It wasn’t aliens, it was brown people.

    Older than that, the Barabar caves are over 2,200 years old.

    Looks like something out of a Giger painting.

    Seems like there would be an easier way to make a guest house.

    This seems more than mildly interesting?
