Hampi - Bhima's Gate (Behind Ganagitti Jain Temple)
This Bhima's gate is located south of the Royal Enclosure, on the main Hemalapura road, heading west and behind the Jain temple.
Much like the other gates in design, this one has a large sculpture of Bhima leaning against a wall inside the main entrance.
The two identical sculptures on the wall, like Bhima, are from the Mahabharata. Draupadi is standing to the left tying her hair. On the right, Bhima is slaying Kichaka after he tried to molest Draupadi.

Hampi - Bhima's Gate (Near Royal Enclosure)
One of two Bhima's Gates, this one is located just off the main Hampi road and near the Sister Stones.
The design of these gates was for various reasons, but one of the interesting ones was so that no attacking army could easily manoeuvre war elephants inside the entrance. In war, elephants were used as attacking animals on the front line and were extremely frightening when charging forward, often crushing enemy soldiers in the process. You can see by the layout of these gates that defence was a major element in their design.

Hampi - Secret Council Chamber
The Secret Council Chamber is reputedly the place where the king gathered his most important nobles to discuss matters of politics and war, and is located approximately 100m south of the Hazara Rama Temple.
One can easily miss the secret council chamber and walk straight past without realising it is there. Set below ground level, it can only be noticed when you walk right up to it, unless you know it's there of course. The roof has collapsed and thus the main chamber is open to the elements, but three of the four walkways are still undercover. A small but discreet entrance is located on the north side. The passageway is relatively narrow.
Once down the steps into the first passage, a remarkable thing occurs. When one turns the first corner, the passageway is so dark that you do not notice another passage entrance to the left, and when you walk around all the passageways one is left rather confused as to where it leads. It's a remarkable design where the final passageway runs parallel to the first one.

Underground Shiva Temple and Secret Council Chamber - Hampi, India

Hey guys, today we are going to look at the Underground Shiva Temple at Hampi. This is considered one of the oldest temples in Hampi and you can see that it is constructed under the ground level. If we go inside the temple, it just keeps getting deeper and deeper and the deepest part contains the main chamber which holds the lingam. This temple was completely buried under the ground for many centuries before it was discovered in 1980s and it was then excavated. There is a reason why this temple is not visited by most tourists, it has water inside almost throughout the year, and locals say there are snakes in the water - this is why no one comes. But let's go inside and see what we can find in the main chamber. It is also pitch black inside, so I am using my headlamp. This is the main chamber and you can see right away that the original lingam is gone, and a new lingam has been placed. The newer cylindrical structure is merely placed on top of the ancient square base, this is not how ancient lingams look. There are insects crawling on the floor near the lingam, but there is something much more interesting on the ceiling. On the ceiling, we can see a lot of bats hanging upside down. This is a very common sight with many of these ancient temples in India. But this video is not about bats, and we can see a very interesting geometric pattern carved exactly above where the ancient lingam would have once stood. Two concentric circles placed inside a rhombus, which is placed inside a square- Which in turn is again, placed inside a rhombus. These dark stain marks are because of the bats. What must have once been a spectacular temple is now completely in ruins.
Now of course the question is, WHY? Why did ancient builders create this structure under the ground level? Imagine this for a minute, if historians are right, building such a temple would be a monstrous task in ancient times. They would have to dig for a great depth and put these humongous granite base and pillars which would have taken years, and during these years of construction, they would have realized that there would always be water. This is summer time, so there is just a foot of water, but in rainy seasons, you would have a lot more of stagnant water. So in spite of all this, why did they create such a structure underground?
Local historians tell a very interesting story, even some archeologists accept this theory: This temple was created for secret rituals, reserved only for the members of the royal family. The temple is just one end of the underground structure. So where is the other end? The other end is actually situated about half a mile from the Underground Shiva temple, this place is called the Secret Council Chamber and here you can see the entrance to this structure, which is again, located underground. This is a very strange underground area made of solid black slabs of stone, you can walk inside and even today, it could serve as an underground bunker. There are several passages, and archeologists have removed the top part of this structure, at a few places. Many intriguing statues of ancient gods have also been unearthed. This is the beauty of India, they had these massive secret underground facilities all over ancient sites.
It seems just like regular ground, all these people are walking, but there are huge underground structures built right below their feet, waiting to be excavated. So, if you were a royal member in ancient times, you could just walk from the underground Shiva temple to here or the other way round, without anyone noticing you.
What we are missing is the actual tunnel which connects the secret council chamber and the Underground Shiva Temple. I hope to find the actual tunnel some day, but until then, this remains just an unconfirmed theory. I hope you liked this video, I am Praveen Mohan, thanks a lot for watching.

Ancient Lathe Machine Found in Hampi, India - Lost Technology Discovered?
Follow Me on:

Hey guys, this is the ancient site of Hampi that has been abandoned for at least 500 years, and here we can see this rock that shows solid evidence of machining technology. These perfect circular marks on this rock can be produced only with machines. This process is called facing, and we use the same technology today using lathe machines. It is covered with dirt when I found it, so I cleaned it up. Now, If you look at these circles, they are perfectly concentric and there is no deviation, no chipping in the rock, very similar to modern day technology. The rectangular slot in the center proves that this rock was machined using lathe technology. So, how was this created at least 500 years ago, at a time when historians claim there was no such technology? Were ancient builders using high tech machines many centuries ago, just like today? If this is true, we should not only find finished products like this circular rock, but we should also find the entire mechanism that was able to create this finished product. Is it possible that the entire mechanism, the lathe itself can be found in the same area?
Now, if we take a step back and look at the entire picture, it has some very interesting components. It has two posts with circular holes near the top, which obviously means that a cylindrical rod was inserted between them, like this. This is a simple model that I am recreating, which I will show side by side, so you can understand this better. Nearby, we can see a long rectangular slab, with a hole in the center. When I measured the length of the slab, it matches exactly with the distance between the two posts. What does this mean? This means that the slab would fit perfectly between these posts. I am using this green rectangular styrofoam block which represents the slab in my model. So, the set up would look like this.
If a metal tool was placed on this cylinder, pointing downwards, it looks like a modern day vertical lathe machine. I am going to use a pen for the metal tool in my model. This rectangular slab would be the base plate on which circular rocks could be placed and machined. Here is a simple round object which represents the circular rock and I place it on the rectangular slab, and if I rotate the circular rock, and lower the tool from the top, we can create these identical tool marks. See the similarity of the circles between this model, and the actual rock. My model has not rotated on a perfect axis, so you see that the circles are not as good, but the work of ancient builders was perfect. This set up actually proves that ancient people used vertical lathe technology, at least 500 years ago.
What's even more interesting is that you can see some circular wear and tear on the base plate as well. Look at the base plate, you can see these half circular marks caused by the rotating objects which were placed on top of it. The other half shows no such tool marks, because these marks were created by accident, by friction from the rotating objects placed above. You can see the same marks beginning to form on my model as well.
All these evidences clearly prove that machining technology, specifically vertical lathe technology was used in India, at least 500 years ago, and some archeologists even say this site was built 2300 years ago. So, I think I have just discovered the oldest machining set up, known to mankind, and it is lying in plain sight, abandoned and covered in dirt.

Ancient Vimana Discovered in Secret Underground Chamber? Srirangam Temple, India
Instagram................
Twitter......................
Facebook..............
Website....................
Hey guys, what you are seeing is the actual footage of a secret underground chamber in the ancient temple of Srirangam in India. This underground chamber was discovered in 2015 and experts confirm that this is an authentic video. The temple of Srirangam is at least 2000 years old and contains many ancient secrets. A week after this chamber was opened, authorities completely closed it and sealed with granite blocks and metal doors, which is what you see here. There is no way to enter or examine it now. What was inside the underground vault which was so secretive, that the entire structure had to be sealed off? I have been talking to several locals about this, and this is what really happened.
Until 2015, this entrance was closed with 2 doors made of granite stone blocks and nobody knew how to open them. Authorities finally broke these doors, and entered the room at the ground level. Look at what is carved on the top of this doorway. It undoubtedly shows 2 doors closing the entrance and there is a conical sign below, pointing vertically underneath the floor. These were ancient symbols clearly pointing to something important, I am not sure if this is why authorities decided to break the doors and go in. When authorities entered this room at the ground level, they found a conical sign carved on the floor. They started removing the rocks on the floor in that spot, and they found that it leads to this underground vault.
You can clearly see that this chamber is at the underground level. But another chamber was also discovered directly underneath this level as well. Construction workers who saw it with their own eyes confirm this. You can see a small rectangle covered with dirt, and a pole placed on it. This was the doorway that led to the next underground level, which had something extraordinary. It is obvious that authorities have covered this with a stone block, put some dirt and placed a pole on it, so no one can open it. There would be no need for the pole, if there was nothing underneath. There is no footage of the 2nd underground chamber, and authorities completely sealed everything within a week after opening that chamber.
What did the underground vault have? Why was the contents not shown to the public? It is obvious that there was some ancient secret inside the vaults, because if the chambers were really empty, there is no need to seal off everything. I said chambers because look at here (2.05) this is a door knob which would lead to the next vault. And (1.12 ) look - this is a new block, placed recently. These evidences prove that authorities found more vaults nearby and then closed everything off.

Historical Jain Temple Hampi
Historical Jain Temple Hampi
Hampi, also referred to as the Group of Monuments at Hampi, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in east-central Karnataka, India.[1] It became the centre of the Hindu Vijayanagara Empire capital in the 14th century.[2] Chronicles left by Persian and European travellers, particularly the Portuguese, state Hampi was a prosperous, wealthy and grand city near the Tungabhadra River, with numerous temples, farms and trading markets. By 1500 CE, Hampi-Vijayanagara was the world's second-largest medieval-era city after Beijing, and probably India's richest at that time, attracting traders from Persia and Portugal.[3][4] The Vijayanagara Empire was defeated by a coalition of Muslim sultanates; its capital was conquered, pillaged and destroyed by sultanate armies in 1565, after which Hampi remained in ruins.

Hampi - Royal Mint Area - Explaining the Walls and the Connection with other Cultures
There is a bit of wind disturbance in this video, so apologies about that.
The first section shows the back of the Hazararama Temple, which shows depictions of the Ramayana, although I neglected to mention this as I was having too much fun making jokes about their meaning!
The second part takes a look at the walls and how the blocks interlock, along with the design and structure.
Some people say these cultures had a common origin, but the evidence suggests otherwise.

Underground Temple Of Secret Rituals - Telangana, India

Website....................
Hey guys, this is an ancient underground temple near Warangal Fort, it doesn't have a name and is completely abandoned. This is an isolated place and gets no visitors and is estimated to be at least 800 years old. I am gonna take you inside the temple and we can see some very strange details and secret rituals happening inside the temple. The temple is located at the underground level, and there is only one side that this completely open, and on all the other sides, it is totally covered with dirt. It has a very low ceiling, and it gets lower and lower as we go into the main chambers.
What's really fascinating is that, this place shows evidence of strange rituals. On the floor, you can see a lot of chicken feathers, alcohol bottles, and pieces of lemon stuck on a thin rod. Of course we can assume that some guys were just drinking and cooking here, but you can also see religious items like saffron powder strewn all over the floor, and also matchsticks and candles. This means there was some kind of a black magic ritual performed here. Locals say that a group called 'Kapalikas' gather here during new moon nights and indulge in strange rituals including meat eating and drinking. The term Kapalika means Skull-Men, these people carry human skulls and are sometimes even known to worship skulls. Remember, I showed you the temple of crystal skull a few weeks back? This temple is very similar in appearance to that one, and I think there could be a connection between the two.
What's intriguing about this temple is that even though it is abandoned, it doesn't have any bats, but is home to a lot of insects, here is a lizard and as we go into the main chamber, we begin to see a lot of spider webs. There are huge spiders all over the walls. The entrances are very short, less than 5 feet. This chamber has no deities, no idols and is completely empty. The only fascinating part is the ceiling which has a nice spiral design. But this temple has 2 main chambers and I am gonna go inside the next chamber and try to identify what the main deity would have been. You can see that the floor of this chamber is completely destroyed, but this broken uprooted stone structure is actually a lingam. So, this was definitely a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. I wonder why these stone structures were completely demolished and why this temple was abandoned. You can see rich paintings on the walls and the ceiling, and this must have been a very beautiful place with lots of visitors, many centuries ago. And I have already shown you these pillars, made of multiple blocks and how they were joined in my previous video. I hope someday, the government can restore this temple to its original shape. Please share this video with your friends to spread awareness about abandoned ancient temples.

3000 Year Old Statue Reveals Advanced Technology? Uthirakosamangai Temple, India
Instagram................
Twitter......................
Facebook..............
Website....................
Hey guys, today let us take a look at this ancient Temple called Uthiragosamangai. It has some stone carvings which have baffled all experts. There are these statues of large saber toothed lions called Yalis. But inside the mouth of this Yali, is a perfectly spherical stone ball. You can roll this ball, you can rotate it, but it cannot be pulled out of the mouth. People have recently vandalized it and have tried to pull out the ball using force, damaging the statue, which is why it has been closed for public view. How was this mysterious structure created in ancient times?
In fact, the state Government is so baffled by this artifact that they have created modern day carvings like this and placed all over the state. This is a modern day recreation. These were created using high tech machines. Modern Sculptors put flexible sculpting tools inside the mouth and carved the ball. Some experts have theorized that ancient builders followed a similar procedure. After carving the Lion's mouth, ancient sculptors would have worked for countless days, and slowly chiseled this stone ball inside, using primitive tools.
But locals in the temple area, point out to something much more interesting. They say that these modern statues have a serious flaw. In newer statues, the ball inside is the same material as the rest of the structure, everything is made of one solid rock.
But in this ancient statue, while the lion is made entirely out of one solid block of granite, the ball inside is made of a different material called Onyx. Look at the color difference: the statue looks much lighter, while the ball looks black in color. Now, why are we not able to pull the ball out of the lion's mouth? Because the ball is larger in size, than the openings in the mouth. But how was the ball, which is made of a different rock, put inside in this opening the first place? This ball is not a flexible rubber ball, it is made of solid rock, so it would be impossible to achieve this without rock melting technology. Remember, I have already shown you clear evidence of Rock Melting Technology at a different temple called Ramappa Temple. So, does this statue prove that ancient builders were melting rocks? How else could such a feat be accomplished.
Many tourists see this mind-boggling statue, and think that this is also a modern day creation, but archeologists confirm that it is older than 600 years. However, the temple was already mentioned in a 9th century text called Tiruvasagam, making it older than 1200 years. But locals believe that this temple is one of the oldest temples in India, about 3000 years old. According to locals, this temple was entirely built 3000 years ago using advanced technology, and not using primitive tools. As evidence they point out this carving. Here you can see an elephant carved inside a one inch circle. You can see all its features, including the eyes, so what kind of tools were used in ancient times? The temple contains many strange features, it houses a 5 foot tall dancing Shiva made entirely out of emerald. There is also a tree which botanists have confirmed to be 3000 years old.
While historians claim that human beings lived a primitive lifestyle 3000 years ago, what we actually see is evidence of Rock Melting Technology, extremely sophisticated carvings and proof of an advanced civilization. Did we once have a highly developed civilization which used advanced technology? How else can we explain these evidences?

How do the Musical Pillars Work? Rock Melting Technology? Cymatics?
Follow Me on:

Hey guys, I am at the Vittala temple in Hampi, and I am gonna show you the mystery of the musical pillars. This structure, called the musical hall is now closed for renovation. However, I managed to get the actual sounds from these pillars. Here is a pillar which shows a man playing ancient drums, if you tap this, you will hear the sound of these drums. Now, here is the sound of a temple bell. And here is the sound of a school bell. Now, you can combine various sounds to create even modern sounds, for example, this is the combination of the temple bell and school bell to create the modern day door bell. How do these different pillars create various sounds? But this is nothing, when you take this pillar that is made of one stone and has small columns carved onto it. However, if you tap on them, they create the seven notes of the musical scale in Indian classical music which is similar to do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti in the western world. What kind of stone technology existed in ancient India that could mimic the sounds of musical instruments? We can see many, many different sounds of advanced ancient instruments like Jal tarang, which uses water waves, Ghatam which uses terracotta pots, and even sounds of string instruments are created on these pillars.
How do these pillars, made of the same material, which is granite create these various sounds? Is it possible, that the ancient builders, somehow created holes inside these pillars. Because the only way to make different sounds from the same material of the same size is to alter its density. So do these pillars have holes inside them, that creates various sounds? The British had the same question in mind, and they not only took a huge pillar like this one but also cut one of the small columns to see what was in it. Here you can see the column that is missing, this was cut by the British during pre-independence in 1930s. And they were surprised to find that all these pillars and columns are just made of solid rock.
So, if there are no holes inside these pillars, how do you make them create different sounds. If they altered the dimensions like height, width and diameter, you could at least make them sound a little bit different. This is why we tap on walls to find out if they are thin or thick, because it will sound different. But if you look closely, all the columns have the same height, width and diameter, yet they create the seven notes of the Indian musical scale.
If they are all of the same dimensions, same material, and don't have holes inside, how do they create different musical sounds. The only way this could be achieved is by changing the intrinsic density of the pillars, by adding a new material to it in different proportions, like modern day alloys. Today, we melt various metals and add them in different ratios to create the desired effect. However, did ancient builders melt solid blocks of granite and mix it with other materials to create different sounds? Locals argue that the musical pillars were created by rock melting technology. As evidence, they say that chains made of rocks were hooked to these corners on the ceiling. Now, this would be impossible without melting the rocks. These rock chains were later destroyed during foreign invasion just like the temple tower. A chain made of solid rock - is something like that even possible? Why do these corners of Hampi temple have empty hooks? Based on a tip, I traveled to Kancheepuram, which is 300 miles from Hampi. And here, we can see the chains hanging from the hooks on the corners. Yes, these chains, with many links, are in fact made of stone! Archeologists have confirmed that these are made of stone and were created at least 700 years ago! How could anyone create these stone chains with primitive tools? Even today, such a technology is not possible with modern machines. What kind of machines were used in ancient times and how were they able to create these chains made of rock?

Vishnu's Vimana - Megalithic Aircraft Model At Hampi?
Instagram................
Twitter......................
Facebook................
Website....................
Hey guys, let's take a look at this megalithic structure called Vishnu's Vimana. This is located on top of a hill in Hampi and at first sight it looks strangely similar to a modern day helicopter. This is exactly how the locals named it a thousand years ago, it is called Vishnu's Vimana which means the aircraft of Lord Vishnu. You can see that it is massive, standing nearly 12 feet tall and about 14 feet wide, but is not made of one single rock. The huge centerpiece has been balanced using several smaller rocks underneath. There are two rocks placed on top of the center piece as well, and here is the weird part: if you remove any one rock from this structure, the entire structure will crumble down, because its center of gravity will change.
Now the question is, is this a natural formation or was it created during ancient times? While locals argue that ancient builders created it as a model of a vimana or an aircraft, geologists say that this is a natural formation. But there are several clues which prove that this is not a natural formation. On the bottom, we can see the carving of a circle, with radiating lines all around the circumference, like the blades of a fan. This is clearly a carving, and not a natural occurrence. And there are drag marks nearby, indicating that these rocks were dragged uphill and put together. These drag marks are never seen near natural formations. But there is yet another massive clue which clearly proves that this structure is not a natural formation. Just a few hundred feet away, there is another megalithic structure which also looks like a helicopter. Is it possible that nature made 2 aircraft like structures next to each other on top of the same hill? That would be impossible! So, we know that these structures are not natural formations, and were in fact created by ancient builders.
But how could such a structure be built without advanced technology? This is all made of granite and weighs about 100 tons. How was the massive rock in the center lifted and placed on smaller rocks at the bottom to achieve a perfect balance? Today, we use sophisticated technology like cranes, but how was this achieved thousands of years ago?
And the most important question is WHY? Why did ancient builders decide to drag huge rocks weighing many tons to the top of this hill? Why were they balanced on slopes of a hilltop to look like an aircraft, ready for takeoff? Remember I showed you Krishna's butter ball, which is balanced on an extremely slippery slope in the ancient site of Mahabalipuram. Why are all these impossible stone structures named after Gods, and why do we always see ancient temples around them? The Vishnu's Vimana is also located right next to a temple. On top of the temple is an uneven rock, and an aerodynamic tower has then been placed on it. Here is yet another tower built on a boulder, the only difference is that it is painted white. These temple towers emerging out of these boulders are also called Vimanas.
One thing is clear, there is some kind of advanced information hidden in all these megalithic structures, but we don't know how to decode them. Please let me know what you think about these structures in the comments section, I am Praveen Mohan, thanks a lot for watching.
