Mysteries of Asia: Lost Temples of India
Click Stars Below to Vote!
The mysteries of Asia series of three-part video was originally produced for The Learning Channel. During this segment, historians and others examine temples built in India over 1,000 years ago. They remain quite intriguing, though today’s tourists rarely visit. Records reveal that trained elephants had to drag millions of stone blocks to build these structures.
The program notes that due to the size of the temples, the U.S. Senate, Versailles, the Houses of Parliament and St. Paul’s Basilica in Rome, everyone could fit inside one of them.
Michael Bell narrates as animated image maps and are used to help viewers learn more about what these ancient structures appear and why they were built.
Mysteries of Asia: Lost Temples of India,
nah I mean there are plenty westerners who understand now and there are many many more indians who dont understand vedic culture except blind faith. IMO, those who manage to look past money and materialism tend to get drawn to it, both vedic hinduism or zen/ tibetan buddhism. Some get into it through yoga.
Jack (assuming that’s what you go by), I know “figurative” when I see it. This is meant in a literal sense. It is “not to be taken seriously” if it was broadcast on nickelodeon, not discovery.
“in the 1838 an English explorer hacking his way through the dense Indian jungle discovered..” So natives did not point him to these abandoned temples? They were just waiting for this knight to come from old England, like a bride waiting for her long gone beloved. Hmm, Angkor Wat was waiting for the Frenchman, and the source of the Nile was waiting for James Bruce to “discover” them. I would have thought that by now this silliness would have been abondoned. Some vanity.
Western people will never understand vedic culture, unless they get initiated into a bona fide Guru Parampara(Liniage of Teachers).The vedic culture is beyond anything the primitive westerners ever produced.(I am saying that as a western convert to Sanatana Dharma)Om Namah Shiavaya!

India has been the most religiously and spiritually advanced country in the world. The world has to learn a lot to learn from this great countryIndia has great tolerance to religions other than its own native religion, Hinduism.If you wonder what contributed to India’s great tolerance, study Hinduism. You will know.
Beautiful and interesting story which I have certainly heard a hundred times, but it always fascinates me. I love it..♥
shiva lingam is a phallic symbol? what a joke! somebody needs to get educated!! lots of misinformation, some great shots of temples.. meh..
this is a great video. thanks for sharing. btw – for the critics, the title “The Lost Temples Of India” is not to be taken literally. the title is about why/how the temples are lost from the western media glare while other monuments have shone high. the reasoning comes specifically at the end — where the explorer who uncovered khajura looked at the carvings and made some infamous remarks about the erotic stuff found in the depictions and clamored that this religion could’nt have been chaste.
fuck ha
actually, its not, dick head.

What patronizing bullshit. These temples were never lost. S.Indian temples have been continuously functioning for more than thousand years. Khajuraho may have been lost but that is a group of 30 temples compared to 29,000 temples of historic importance in Tamil Nadu alone which were never lost. “Priests worshipping mysterious phallic symbols bla bla” WTF
