So great to see you doing some exploration in Ancient India, literally one of my favorite places of fascination on planet Earth 🌎, so much gets overlooked in India where there is just a Treasure Trove of Megalithic Stonework to be explored! Thanks Hugh👍🙏👍😊🏛🛕🪨🏛🏯🏰
According to Vedas in Yuga cycle the ages see a gradual decline of dharma, wisdom, knowledge, intellectual capability, life span, emotional and, physical strength. Satya Yuga - Virtue reigns supreme. Human stature was 21 cubits (33 ft 6 inches). Average human lifespan was 100,000 years. Treta Yuga - There was 3 quarter virtue and 1 quarter sin. Normal human stature was 14 cubits (22 ft 4 inches). Average human lifespan was 10,000 years. Dwapara Yuga - There was 1 half virtue and 1 half sin. Normal human stature was 7 cubits (11 ft 2 inches). Average human lifespan was 1,000 years. Kali Yuga - There is 1 quarter virtue and 3 quarter sin. Normal human stature is 3.5 cubits (5 ft 3 inches). Average human lifespan will be 100 years. In the present days we may be said to live in a Kali Yuga, which is said to have started in 3102 BCE with the end of the Mahabarata(Dwapra). This date is also considered by many Hindus to be the day that Lord Krishna left Earth and went to abode
The amount of amazing carvings, arguably more intricate than anywhere else in the world, is amazing. And then to find out most of these temples are actually thousands of pieces and not carved out of one piece while not seeing any seams or ways to unlock them is unrivaled!!
Awesome! India is such an obvious place to look for ancient megalithic structures. But I guess it's just been so continuously inhabited, lots of stuff and been built over. But there are definitely lots of nubs
You are welcome sir ☺️ don't forget to visit kailasha temple ( only structure in the world carved within a single stone top to bottom) watch video of it truly a wonder
Well-done Hugh incredible video as usual look forward to seeing more fron your adventures in India. I'd love to see you or someone at Megalithomania give a lecture on ancient India it's a very interesting place
The serpent coiled around the phallus represents quite literally how the 'soul' is attached to the spinal column, coiled tightly around it like a snake, secured at seven key locations along its length.
That's not phallus in sanskrit Lingam has many meanings not only phallus or gender, Lingam also means Signifier of shiva Example the name very common in south India Rama Lingam so dose it means rama's phallus, no but it Signify Rama.
@@amartyabanerjee4918 Yeah, I realized after I posted the comment that "phallus" was not the appropriate term here. "Shaft", maybe. The caduceus symbol, etc. It makes little sense for the soul to be wound tightly around the phallus, but the notion is a bit funny =)
You have explained such great knowledge with our anceint of Tamil civilization, unmatchable architectural work of foot print left out for modern world which is impressive
The footprint is the least of the incredible attributes of this Temple. You can clearly see where later more crude stonework unites with larger more accurately cut and assembled wall-stones. The pilars are really amazing, especially the "floating" Pilar.
Lol 500 years haha. Bogus researchers. I wonder why dating is speculative sometimes when it comes to ancient sites but hard on when it comes to daring fossils or artifacts. Is there a difference
Ancient india is the indicator of the ancient knowledge too, thus visiting india is the best choice for the beginning of the enlightment. I wish i can visit india at soon too. On the other hand, I think cow and serpents were representing taurus and draco systems..? Also lingams were possibly a kind of energy accumulating and transmitting centers of the past eras?😊
Thanks Hugh! what a lovely temple! I was wondering about those circular disks. To me they give the impression of being melted in the stone, not carved, especially since they are not of consistent depth. Have you given any thoughts to this idea?
On seeing the "turtle"(?) carving on the wall, and when you called it a nob, I thought, could it be an evolution of the nobs we see on the megaliths? Could these temples be what they evolved into from the more square temples and such, like Machu Picchu or Osireion temple? It is an interesting idea.
Thanks @Hugh for taking a great effort making this video. We could see a lot of visitors these days to many forgotton temples of India. All thanks to @PraveenMohan for his 'rediscovering' lost treasures of India. My only worry is that these monuments should be managed and preserved extensively by the local and union governments.
Cheers!, great job!, oh, you know the small indented ufo shapes?, well if you layed gasket paper or cloth in them & followed the indentations wth a hammer, you would make perfect gaskets for pipework, if done it hundreds of times at work, just a thought. Thanks for your work!, Carnt wait I'l be there in 16days.
Who doesn’t know Praveen❗️😁😉 Though I have to admit I haven’t been checking on his videos that often lately anymore. Very nice presentation of Lapakshi temple, Hugh❗️👍🏻 I am assuming you’re in India right now, which is good since it isn’t hot or humid yet there. How long do you plan to stay? Looking forward to your additional reports❗️Oh, and about that foot print - perhaps there are yet another foot- or other object prints hidden beneath those megalithic blocks at different parts of the temple and on the bedrock floor …
In the past, people were frightened by such images, and religious leaders exploited those fears. However, a human foot, even one belonging to a very tall person, could not have created this imprint. While humans reaching 11 to 12 feet might be possible, such a footprint wouldn't be possible in this type of stone. (This refers to the footprint in the video, which is roughly 3 feet long.)
I am from a town near by that temple. I visited that temple some 20-30 times, but still I feel like I am missing something. Whenever I enter the temple, I feel like I was taken to those ancient times.
What are the recesses that resembe reverse dentils underneath the main cornice? I too appreciate Praveen Mohan’s explanations. The Shiva lingam at 13:30 seems to unite male and female genitalia. And pouring liquid over the male as the liquid flows out of the female must have some specific meaning.
I would say the 7-headed Nagas represent the main chakras. This makes sense when you look at the coiled snake surrounding the lingam of Shiva, which represents that primal serpent power.
Another Temple in Andhra Pradesh India Draksha ramam temple east godavari district, excellent stone work. Please visit. Pitampura kukkutaeswara temple, jaint foot print. Padagaya
Hugh its so exciting to see you in India. Wish you and Praveen could have done a bit more together. Absolutely two of my favorite researchers. Not only that but India is totally insane. So much unexplained work. I have a theory India was the last home of megalithic construction and techniques and they certainly took it extremely far. Are they connected to Angor Wat and all of that area too? Id say definitely maybe. Great stuff as always!!
@@MegalithomaniaUK im so excited to hear that. Id give you two an HBO series if I could. The more guys like you get together the faster we might finally topple the academic nonsense once and for all.
I loved to see this video.But a few corrections in your narrative. Firstly this place is not in the state of Tamil Nadu but in Andhra Pradesh. Secondly scripts carved there are either in Telugu language and in Kannada language. At least whatever I saw in the video they are not in Sanskrit language. What I wanted to see you did not focus much was the paintings on the ceilings.It could have given a good idea of how the people of bygone days looked like and the type of dress they were wearing,their hair style,the colours of their clothings etc. Thanks for your lovely video of Lepakshi temple.
Did you say Tamil Nadu in India??? This is in Andhra Pradesh, India. your shots were great and appreciate your efforts in spreading the grandeur of India architecture. Kindly do check some basic facts. Please make the correction. We already have a lot of them who dont fact check. Please do not add to that list.
The circular thing with pits could be where they cooked Idly a rice dish. It gets cooked in the hot sun. Big foot is a fancy carving. It is easy to carve.
There are a few things you will find in common at all megalithic sites. The people associated with these sites have these things in common no matter what corner of the world they are in.... Serpent worship Ritual Blood Sacrifice Ritual cannibalism Swastika symbolism
Hi try to come to odisha bhubaneswar which is city of temple. In odisha we have 2 yogini temples which open type of temple that might be related gobekli tepe.
👍 Thanks, amazing stuff in India, I hope you make it to the complete temples carved right into the stone.The giant footprint is probably carved from a natural indentation shaped like one.
Want to see a real Naga Head? Get in touch with Roger Spurr. He's also got remains of something he calls "No Toes" that I'm sure Hugh would find most interesting.
The Greatest of the Gandas The Greatest of the Bharatakhand Lands The Greatest of the Dravidian Lands The Greatest of the Brahmins VishwaBrahman The Constructions of the VishwaBrahmins 🙏🙏
You missed a few vital items of Lepakshi. A carving of the perfect female and the perfect male on pillars I side the temple, sculpture of the eagle from which the name Lepakshi is derived. BTW lepakshi is in Andhra Pradesh and not TN
Hey Hugh,i would like to show you some interesting rock carved places similar to ones praveen took you to,close by in Andhra Pradesh itself...I live in Hyderabad and would be more than happy to show you around some ancient sites you might appreciate.Eager to hear from you
The block wall is obviously cast. The footprint and circles on the floor is a clear sign that the floor was poured and set. They knew how to create a good geopolyma mix
One legged giants eh, or if not, where are the other footprints ? Nevertheless, India is a fascinating country which I knew little of until I started watching Praveen Mohan's videos. He must keep up his good work.
The hanging pillar was once actually hanging with no point touching the floor... it was later during british explorations that they tried to move this pillar that made the pillar to touch the floor...
Damn why thats a huge crowd I'd say.. during mahashivaratri or kaarteeka maasam. Means during november .. It'd take atleast 2 to 3 house or more to visit lingam in sanctum sanatorium
Praveen does good work investigating and explaining about India, have been following him for years, recommended.
His the one that brought him over !!
Love his videos
@@juanotamendi8913really, I love alot of these guys work together,
its an idiot with fantasies.
He is also great at spreading false narratives of aliens and superiority of local culture !

I love ancient India, it’s absolutely stunning. I believe that the “giants” were not huge people but of high status or high tech abilities. Thanks ❤

It was both...different statures ppl co existed wuth high statures ppl in offices.It was a strict heirarchy...
Praveens video on this temple is awesome,good t see more people showing interest in these amazing places
Instant thumbs up 👍 And a big shout out to Praveen for his work on this subject! Megalithomania is the best!! 💯👏
Praveen is one of the best out there.
The amount of amazing carvings, arguably more intricate than anywhere else in the world, is amazing. And then to find out most of these temples are actually thousands of pieces and not carved out of one piece while not seeing any seams or ways to unlock them is unrivaled!!
Where did you find that out please?
This is like visiting it yourself. Thank you because I am unable to. Loving it Hugh.
Hats off to the guy @13:23. He sees you filming and backs up to try to get out of your shot.
Fantastic instalment Hugh India has a huge amount of megalithic structures
Such a fascinating place. Thanks for showing us!
Awesome! India is such an obvious place to look for ancient megalithic structures. But I guess it's just been so continuously inhabited, lots of stuff and been built over.

So great to see you in India. I will be going soon 🎉
You are welcome sir ☺️ don't forget to visit kailasha temple ( only structure in the world carved within a single stone top to bottom) watch video of it truly a wonder
Thank you, Hugh, that place looks fantastic.
Hindu culture is amazing its oldest realign and true realign
Love your videos! I'm so glad to see you went to India to make more videos. Safe Travels!!
Nice to see that the south india got protected from the Invaders for 800 years
Fantastic stuff Hugh👏thank you👍
I enjoyed your commentary and discription of the temple Lepakshi. Sure one day I visit. Thanks for posting..🙏
Visit kailasha temple also truly a wonder 😊😊

Thank you thank you thank you for at last bringing megalithic India to the west. I've been following Praveen for years ... Amazing chap. Well done 👍
You have explained such great knowledge with our anceint of Tamil civilization, unmatchable architectural work of foot print left out for modern world which is impressive
you should visit sri rangam, brihadeeshwara, chidambaram, arunachalam, rameshwaram in tamilnadu and hoysaleeshwara temple in karnataka
The head of the bull looks like it was carved by a machine.
The footprint is the least of the incredible attributes of this Temple. You can clearly see where later more crude stonework unites with larger more accurately cut and assembled wall-stones. The pilars are really amazing, especially the "floating" Pilar.
very cool, thanks man, safe travels sir
I dont care what anybody says, this site is a hell of a lot older than 500 years old, I believe India has many many antidiluvian buildings/temples.
Lol 500 years haha. Bogus researchers. I wonder why dating is speculative sometimes when it comes to ancient sites but hard on when it comes to daring fossils or artifacts. Is there a difference
Hugh, Please have Roger Spurr and Tyson Carlson on the channel soon. Especially Mr. Spurr. Long overdue.
In india most of the Temples is existed before 2000 to 5000 years ago
And then you invaded our country
Amazing sculptures, those Ancient Indian sculptors were master builders. Really impressive, thanks for the upload.
Great work Thank you
Giant footprint and UFO-like carving are amazing. The larger-than-life statues are eye fest.
Awesome video (and channel!)
More ancient India vedios please. It’s fascinating
very cool place ty for showing it didnt know was more than 1 lingum in there

Absolutely incredible sites.... beautiful ancient temple 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yours was a beautiful video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Plan to visit the temple shortly. So meticulous is the portrayal. Excellent 👌👌👌👏
Hughs back. Get in! 👽 👍🏻
Happy to know that Praveen Mohans video motivated you to visit this place. Appreciate you for narrating our Indian mythology to us❤
Thanks Hugh! what a lovely temple! I was wondering about those circular disks. To me they give the impression of being melted in the stone, not carved, especially since they are not of consistent depth. Have you given any thoughts to this idea?
India has more wonders then seven wonders of the world.
Thank you so much for sharing that exprience

Yes, this would explain alot about the nubs, as being Effugies that have just over 100,000 of years been reduced to mere protrusions.
Thanks @Hugh for taking a great effort making this video. We could see a lot of visitors these days to many forgotton temples of India. All thanks to @PraveenMohan for his 'rediscovering' lost treasures of India. My only worry is that these monuments should be managed and preserved extensively by the local and union governments.
Praveen mohan is a single man who gave us all these history lessons and findings for free to the indians. We are thankful to him.
Cheers!, great job!, oh, you know the small indented ufo shapes?, well if you layed gasket paper or cloth in them & followed the indentations wth a hammer, you would make perfect gaskets for pipework, if done it hundreds of times at work, just a thought.

That hanging pillar has a similar style of characters on it as the fallen massive megalithic obelisk of axum. 🤔
I am from a town near by that temple. I visited that temple some 20-30 times, but still I feel like I am missing something. Whenever I enter the temple, I feel like I was taken to those ancient times.
Soo many fascinating sights in India 👌
Anu naga?? Anunaki? Is there a corelation
Anu naki possibly came from Anu Naga

the "queens bath" in Hampi India has a cyclopean wall leading to a megalithic lingam, it looks like its right out of peru!
Hampi is well worth the trip there, when I went it was a day trip from Dharwad/Hubli.
The circular thing with pits could be where they cooked Idly a rice dish. It gets cooked in the hot sun.
Big foot is a fancy carving. It is easy to carve.
In Egypt, the Sphinx is in Leo, the bull is it in Taurus?.
There are a few things you will find in common at all megalithic sites.

Hi try to come to odisha bhubaneswar which is city of temple. In odisha we have 2 yogini temples which open type of temple that might be related gobekli tepe.
In many of these ancient temples there're underground which are not visible and visited, try to look upon
👍 Thanks, amazing stuff in India, I hope you make it to the complete temples carved right into the stone.The giant footprint is probably carved from a natural indentation shaped like one.
The lingam/shiva lingam is NOT simply a phallic symbol . Thought you learned that on ancient aliens
Fascinating stuff. Some believe the serpent nagas came from Sirius B star system. So much we don't know..
Want to see a real Naga Head? Get in touch with Roger Spurr. He's also got remains of something he calls "No Toes" that I'm sure Hugh would find most interesting.

The fact that these GIANT footprints are never natural, & carved, proves that Giant stories, are fake.

Little correction It is kannada script & kannada language inscriptions on walls, nice video.
Well same as thali sort of in some places himachal as well people connect to padav when they at jungle
Please do a collab with Praveen mohan🙏 #4.14 mins you can see the machine work around the turtle and corresponding blocks.
