This is the world famous Kailasa temple at Ellora and let's look objectively into who could have built this amazing structure. By the end of this video, I hope you will agree with me that our history is completely wrong, and that this temple was built by a very advanced civilization.
What is so special about this temple? This temple was not constructed by adding stone blocks, but an entire mountain was carved to create this temple. This is the only example in the whole world where a mountain was cut out from the top, to create a structure. In all the other temples and caves, even in Ellora and the rest of the world, the rock was cut from the front and carved as they went along. The whole world has followed a rock cutting technique called "cut-in monolith" while Kailasa temple is the only one that has used the exact opposite technique called "cut-out monolith".
To see why this rock cutting technique is so different, let's take a look at this pillar that is over 100 feet tall. See how small human beings look when compared to this pillar. Normally, to create such a huge pillar, it would take years of work, carving accurately on the huge rock. But this pillar was carved by scooping out all the pieces of mountain around it. You can imagine the amount of rock, which has been removed to create this pillar.
Historians and archaeologists are confused because of the sheer amount of rock that was removed in this temple. Archaeologists confirm that over 400,000 tons of rock had to be scooped out, which would have taken not years, but centuries of human labor. Historians have no record of such a monstrous task and they think that it was built in less than 18 years.
Let us do a simple math and see if historians could be right. I am going to assume that people worked every day for 18 years and for 12 hours straight with no breaks at all. I am going to ignore rainy days, festivals, war time and assume that people worked like robots ceaselessly. I am also going to ignore the time taken to create intricate carvings and complex engineering design and planning and just focus on the removal of rock.
If 400,000 tons of rock were removed in 18 years, 22,222 tons of rock had to be removed every year. This means that 60 tons of rock was removed every day, which gives us 5 tons of rock removed every hour. I think we can all agree, that is not even possible today to remove 5 tons of rock from a mountain, every hour. Not even with all the so called advanced machines that we have. So, if it is not humanly possible, was it done by humans at all? Was this created with the help of extraterrestrial intelligence?
Now, forget about creating such an extraordinary structure. Can human beings at least destroy this temple? In fact, Aurangzeb a Muslim king employed a thousand workers to completely demolish this temple. In 1682, he ordered that that the temple be destroyed, so that there would be no trace of it. Records show that a 1000 people worked for 3 years, and they could only do a very minimal damage. They could break and disfigure a few statues here and there, but they realized it is just not possible to completely destroy this temple. Aurangzeb finally gave up on this impossible task.
Note that this attempted destruction is very similar to another mysterious structure called The Menkaure's pyramid in Egypt. Another Muslim ruler wanted all the pyramids to be destroyed, and started his work from the Menkaure's pyramid. After years of trying, he was only able to make a small dent on the pyramid. He gave up too. Were all these indestructible structures around the world created by extraterrestrials? Is that why human beings are not even able to destroy them?
In fact, archaeologists agree that Kailasa temple was created before any other temple in the Ellora cave complex. Could this have been built centuries before human beings started carving other temples nearby? Is this why the architecture, the design, and the size is so much better and bigger than other temples? If it was built by humans, it is logical to expect that the rock cutting techniques and design would become better over time. People would gain more experience and knowledge and make better structures in the future. However, the Kailasa temple is the oldest and the biggest temple carved with engineering perfection.
Unlike other temples, the Kailasa is the only temple that is visible from the air. Out of 34 temples, all carved side by side, Kailasa stands out and you can see it while flying over it. Is this just a coincidence? Or was it designed for people to see it from the air, like Nazca lines of Peru? Even on Google earth, the aerial view of Kailasa temple clearly shows an X mark. This is how it looks from the top; you can see a circular design that is studded with 4 lions that create this huge X mark. Was this created as a signal for extraterrestrials, who can spot the location while flying?

We are at Ellora caves in India, and I am going to show you some solid evidence about a secret underground area that is hidden under these caves. As you can see, there is a rectangular tunnel about 1 foot wide that is vertically going down, and is not open for public access. I asked the security guards if I could take a closer look and they told me that visitors are not allowed but they also told me that, this tunnel is over 40 feet deep and then it takes a right angle turn to proceed underground. Nobody knows what's inside after that because the tunnel becomes too narrow for human beings to get through it.
Here is another one that is hiding in plain sight. You can see a channel on the ground and there is a small rectangular opening at the end of this passage that would drain the water to the other side of the temple. But, I went to the other side of this rock but guess what? It is a solid stone!! So, there is no other way, except that this rectangular opening leads to the underground. Notice that the rectangular opening is only large enough for a 10 year old to go in? Since adult human beings can't access it, was it designed for human beings at all?
This is another hidden passage in Ellora caves that I tried to get through, but after 10 feet, it becomes so narrow that I can't go any further. Where do these mysterious tunnels lead? Who could have used such narrow passages? The other important question is: how can you carve such narrow passages if human beings cannot even get through them? Was it carved by humans at all? Were these carved for extraterrestrials that are smaller than human beings?
Notice how this entrance is clearly going underground, in this cave temple. These are underground areas hiding in plain sight. The security guards told me that there are several underground tunnels in Ellora caves which gradually become too narrow for human beings to access them, and all of them are locked. From these old doors, we can assume that these tunnels have been closed from public access at least 30 to 40 years ago.
These underground tunnels are not found in the same area, but are scattered over many different caves in Ellora, which stretches across a few miles. Is it possible that there could be a vast underground city like Derinkuyu in Turkey? Derinkuyu is an enormous underground city with advanced technical features that could accommodate more than 20,000 people, which was hidden for centuries only to be discovered in 1965.
If it is true that there is a vast underground city in Ellora, shouldn't there be ventilation shafts that would allow air from the ground to reach below. In Derinkuyu, there are thousands of holes drilled from the ground that act as ventilation shafts to the underground city. Look at this long ventilation shaft in Ellora caves that is drilled secretly in a dark chamber. It is about 4 inches wide, but it is so deep that we can't even see the other end. Could this be a ventilation shaft that reaches the underground city?
How about this ventilation shaft, which is also going underground? You can also see hundreds of holes like this drilled on the rock floor. Some of them are unfinished, and only few inches deep, but notice how the other holes have been closed with concrete recently. I asked why some of these holes have been closed and my tour guide told me that someone dropped their car keys into one of them, but these holes are so deep that they couldn't retrieve it. So, they just covered these holes by putting concrete over them.
What else could be the purpose of these deep holes on the floor, if they are not ventilation shafts? Why would hundreds of holes be drilled on these rock floors with painstaking efforts without any reason? Now, this is one of the abandoned, bat infested places and let's take a look at what's inside. This seems like a very old sanctum holding a lingam, which is a Hindu god. Centuries ago, plenty of water would be poured on this lingam everyday as part of religious worship, and it would drain through this channel. Notice that this water drain has been closed recently with some rocks. Where would the water go? Let's see...It would go vertically down through this tunnel.
Unless there is an area underground, this would be pointless because the water would just overflow all over the place! All over Ellora caves, there are hundreds of idols which would require thousands of gallons of water poured on them every day. Was this a technique to get clean water underground that could be used for different purposes?

Ellora is located nearly thirty kilometers away from the city of Aurangabad in Maharashtra. The caves were excavated and carved out of the vertical, basalt face of the Charanandri hills. Near the cave numbered 32, we can still see the channels through which the volcanic lava once flowed. These basalt rocks are ideal material for the kind of architecture and craftsmanship that the Ellora represents, enabling the craftsmen to express their vision and art on rock as a permanent memorial.

We are at Ellora caves in India and I’ll show you the real reason why it was not built by ancient human beings with chisels and hammers. If all these structures were built by scooping out rocks from mountains, where did all the removed rocks go? The real puzzling fact is that even if you search around Ellora caves, you won’t find any large pile of rocks. According to archeologists, what you see in Ellora is 34 different structures all created by scooping out rocks from mountains. In case you are not familiar, there are no natural caves in Ellora, but all the mountains were simply converted into artificial caves.
Let’s stick with conventional history for a little bit and see if it makes sense. If human beings did in fact carve these mountains, there should be enough debris of rocks to build at least an entire mountain. For example, this is the Kailasa Temple and all the space that’s empty was originally made of rocks and they were scooped out. In fact, the amount of rock scooped out is more than the amount of rock that is still standing. In many of the 34 structures, this is the case where the amount of rock removed outweighs the amount of the rock that we can see. What this actually means is that if we can get a hold of these removed rocks, we can build a structure larger than Ellora caves. In modern day earth-moving, you can see huge piles of rocks leftover even for a small project.
So how much removed rocks are we talking about? In just Kailasa temple alone, archaeologists estimate that over 400,000 tons of rocks were scooped out and this is just from one temple. Imagine the amount of rock removed from 34 temples.
If we do a conservative estimate by multiplying 400,000 by 20 and not 34 the volume of rock removed from Ellora caves is an astounding three million (2 972 872) Cubic meters. So imagine this: If you take all the left over rocks, you can build the entire Giza pyramid and you would still have 500,000 cubic meters of rocks remaining. But what do we find in Ellora? None, no leftover rocks at all.
Here, you can see modern day construction where they are building a staircase and other structures made of rocks. The construction workers told me that they are done looking for rocks around Ellora caves and they are actually bringing in rocks, cut from mountains more than 100 miles away.
So, what really happened here? This is literally similar to the entire Giza pyramid being magically evaporated into thin air. Archeologists and Historians are simply baffled because it is impossible to explain how this could happen. A few videos back I showed you how Historians are completely wrong about human beings building the Kailasa temple in Ellora. But the lack of debris from all these caves raises the question if the entire set of structures was built by human beings at all. We can only imagine what kind of technology would make such enormous amounts of rock just disappear. Ancient Indian texts mention quite a few weapons and devices used by Gods which could create structures like this without leaving any debris behind. Whether these texts are true accounts of history or not, one thing is very clear. Ellora caves were not created by human beings with chisels and hammers.
It was created by a far advanced civilization with a vastly superior technology whether it originated on earth or from above. Perhaps if we explore the secret underground city of Ellora caves, we could find out more about this technology.

Ellora (\e-ˈlȯr-ə\, Kannada: ಎಲ್ಲೋರಾ)also known as Verul (Marathi: वेरूळ, Vērūḷ) is an archaeological site 29 km (18 mi) north-west of the city of Aurangabad in the Indian state of Maharashtra, built by the Rashtrakuta dynasty(Buddhist and Brahmanical group of caves ) and Yadav (Jain group of caves). It is also known as Elapura in the Rashtrakuta Kannada literature. Well known for its monumental caves, Ellora is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and forms one of major tourist attraction in Marathwada region of Maharashtra Ellora represents the epitome of Indian rock-cut architecture. The 34 "caves" are actually structures excavated out of the vertical face of the Charanandri hills. Buddhist, Hindu and Jain rock-cut temples and viharas and mathas were built between the 5th century and 10th century. The 12 Buddhist (caves 1–12), 17 Hindu (caves 13–29) and 5 Jain (caves 30–34) caves, built in proximity, demonstrate the religious harmony prevalent during this period of Indian history. It is a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India.

The Kailasa Temple is the pinnacle of Indian rock-cut architecture. An entire mountain has been carved out to make this amazing Hindu temple dedicated to lord Shiva. Archaeologists and Historians think that it was built around 750 A.D by the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I.
Thousands of Pallava sculptors from Tamil Nadu were transported to build this temple, who created the masterpiece of Dravidian architecture. This temple is supposedly carved to resemble Mount Kailash, the home of Lord Shiva. It is also called as Kailash and Kailasanatha temple which makes cave 16.

This is Ellora caves in India, which is a collection of 34 caves. These caves were built approximately 750 A.D, so these carvings are over 1200 years ago. This is cave 33. Generally, people are not expected to step inside the main Altar or Sanctum.
Inside the altar, is the Jain god Mahavira. Cave 33 was not built by Hindus, but by Jains, and they have quite a few Gods in their religion.Their Gods are usually enlightened human beings. You can see the main God at the center, and there are 2 other deities on either side. You can see the faded colors on them. These colors must have been put on when they were carved and you can imagine how fresh and colorful the images would have been.
What's more interesting is that you can see a small, secret chamber on the right side. Let us take a look inside and see how big it is. It is about 5 feet wide and 6 feet long. And the inside is polished really well which makes me think that it was used by humans as a hiding place.
If it was just for storage, the inside may not have been polished. So, I am guessing that this would have been a great hideaway or a shelter. Now note that the doorway is almost a perfect rectangle. If I put a rectangular stone slab to cover this doorway, the chamber would not be visible at all. And not to mention that it is very dark inside, making it an invisible room.

These basalt rocks are ideal material for the kind of architecture and craftsmanship that the Ellora represents, enabling the craftsmen to express their vision and art on rock as a permanent memorial. -

The Real Mystery Of Ellora Caves - Ancient Aliens In India?The Real Mystery Of Ellora Caves - Ancient Aliens In India?
We are at Ellora caves in India and I’ll show you the real reason why it was not built by ancient human beings with chisels and hammers. If all these structures were built by scooping out rocks from mountains, where did all the removed rocks go? The real puzzling fact is that even if you search around Ellora caves, you won’t find any large pile of rocks. According to archeologists, what you see in Ellora is 34 different structures all created by scooping out rocks from mountains. In case you are not familiar, there are no natural caves in Ellora, but all the mountains were simply converted into artificial caves. Let’s stick with conventional history for a little bit and see if it makes sense. If human beings did in fact carve these mountains, there should be enough debris of rocks to build at least an entire mountain. For example, this is the Kailasa Temple and all the space that’s empty was originally made of rocks and they were scooped out. In fact, the amount of rock scooped out is more than the amount of rock that is still standing. In many of the 34 structures, this is the case where the amount of rock removed outweighs the amount of the rock that we can see. What this actually means is that if we can get a hold of these removed rocks, we can build a structure larger than Ellora caves. In modern day earth-moving, you can see huge piles of rocks leftover even for a small project. So how much removed rocks are we talking about? In just Kailasa temple alone, archaeologists estimate that over 400,000 tons of rocks were scooped out and this is just from one temple. Imagine the amount of rock removed from 34 temples. If we do a conservative estimate by multiplying 400,000 by 20 and not 34 the volume of rock removed from Ellora caves is an astounding three million (2 972 872) Cubic meters. So imagine this: If you take all the left over rocks, you can build the entire Giza pyramid and you would still have 500,000 cubic meters of rocks remaining. But what do we find in Ellora? None, no leftover rocks at all. Here, you can see modern day construction where they are building a staircase and other structures made of rocks. The construction workers told me that they are done looking for rocks around Ellora caves and they are actually bringing in rocks, cut from mountains more than 100 miles away. So, what really happened here? This is literally similar to the entire Giza pyramid being magically evaporated into thin air. Archeologists and Historians are simply baffled because it is impossible to explain how this could happen. A few videos back I showed you how Historians are completely wrong about human beings building the Kailasa temple in Ellora. But the lack of debris from all these caves raises the question if the entire set of structures was built by human beings at all. We can only imagine what kind of technology would make such enormous amounts of rock just disappear. Ancient Indian texts mention quite a few weapons and devices used by Gods which could create structures like this without leaving any debris behind. Whether these texts are true accounts of history or not, one thing is very clear. Ellora caves were not created by human beings with chisels and hammers. It was created by a far advanced civilization with a vastly superior technology whether it originated on earth or from above. Perhaps if we explore the secret underground city of Ellora caves, we could find out more about this technology.

Ellora (\e-ˈlȯr-ə\, Kannada: ಎಲ್ಲೋರಾ)also known as Verul (Marathi: वेरूळ, Vērūḷ) is an archaeological site 29 km (18 mi) north-west of the city of Aurangabad in the Indian state of Maharashtra, built by the Rashtrakuta dynasty(Buddhist and Brahmanical group of caves ) and Yadav (Jain group of caves). It is also known as Elapura in the Rashtrakuta Kannada literature. Well known for its monumental caves, Ellora is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and forms one of major tourist attraction in Marathwada region of Maharashtra Ellora represents the epitome of Indian rock-cut architecture. The 34 "caves" are actually structures excavated out of the vertical face of the Charanandri hills. Buddhist, Hindu and Jain rock-cut temples and viharas and mathas were built between the 5th century and 10th century. The 12 Buddhist (caves 1–12), 17 Hindu (caves 13–29) and 5 Jain (caves 30–34) caves, built in proximity, demonstrate the religious harmony prevalent during this period of Indian history. It is a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India. -

The Kailasa Temple is the pinnacle of Indian rock-cut architecture. An entire mountain has been carved out to make this amazing Hindu temple dedicated to lord Shiva. Archaeologists and Historians think that it was built around 750 A.D by the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I. Thousands of Pallava sculptors from Tamil Nadu were transported to build this temple, who created the masterpiece of Dravidian architecture. This temple is supposedly carved to resemble Mount Kailash, the home of Lord Shiva. It is also called as Kailash and Kailasanatha temple which makes cave 16. 0:01 The view from outside, notice that there is a balcony above the entrance. 0:45 Ravana is ready to cut off his tenth head, after offering nine of his heads to Shiva 1:12 Life size elephants adorn the lower portion of the temple.

Please visit http://www.phenomenalplace.com for intriguing and exciting places to travel. This is Ellora caves in India, which is a collection of 34 caves. These caves were built approximately 750 A.D, so these carvings are over 1200 years ago. This is cave 33. Generally, people are not expected to step inside the main Altar or Sanctum. Inside the altar, is the Jain god Mahavira. Cave 33 was not built by Hindus, but by Jains, and they have quite a few Gods in their religion.Their Gods are usually enlightened human beings. You can see the main God at the center, and there are 2 other deities on either side. You can see the faded colors on them. These colors must have been put on when they were carved and you can imagine how fresh and colorful the images would have been. What's more interesting is that you can see a small, secret chamber on the right side. Let us take a look inside and see how big it is. It is about 5 feet wide and 6 feet long. And the inside is polished really well which makes me think that it was used by humans as a hiding place. If it was just for storage, the inside may not have been polished. So, I am guessing that this would have been a great hideaway or a shelter. Now note that the doorway is almost a perfect rectangle. If I put a rectangular stone slab to cover this doorway, the chamber would not be visible at all. And not to mention that it is very dark inside, making it an invisible room.

By the end of this video, I hope you will agree with me that our history is completely wrong, and that this temple was built by a very advanced civilization. What is so special about this temple? This temple was not constructed by adding stone blocks, but an entire mountain was carved to create this temple. This is the only example in the whole world where a mountain was cut out from the top, to create a structure. In all the other temples and caves, even in Ellora and the rest of the world, the rock was cut from the front and carved as they went along. The whole world has followed a rock cutting technique called "cut-in monolith" while Kailasa temple is the only ...

This is the world famous Kailasa temple at Ellora and let's look objectively into who could have built this amazing structure. By the end of this video, I hope you will agree with me that our history is completely wrong, and that this temple was built by a very advanced civilization.
What is so special about this temple? This temple was not constructed by adding stone blocks, but an entire mountain was carved to create this temple. This is the only example in the whole world where a mountain was cut out from the top, to create a structure. In all the other temples and caves, even in Ellora and the rest of the world, the rock was cut from the front and carved as they went along. The whole world has followed a rock cutting technique called "cut-in monolith" while Kailasa temple is the only one that has used the exact opposite technique called "cut-out monolith".
To see why this rock cutting technique is so different, let's take a look at this pillar that is over 100 feet tall. See how small human beings look when compared to this pillar. Normally, to create such a huge pillar, it would take years of work, carving accurately on the huge rock. But this pillar was carved by scooping out all the pieces of mountain around it. You can imagine the amount of rock, which has been removed to create this pillar.
Historians and archaeologists are confused because of the sheer amount of rock that was removed in this temple. Archaeologists confirm that over 400,000 tons of rock had to be scooped out, which would have taken not years, but centuries of human labor. Historians have no record of such a monstrous task and they think that it was built in less than 18 years.
Let us do a simple math and see if historians could be right. I am going to assume that people worked every day for 18 years and for 12 hours straight with no breaks at all. I am going to ignore rainy days, festivals, war time and assume that people worked like robots ceaselessly. I am also going to ignore the time taken to create intricate carvings and complex engineering design and planning and just focus on the removal of rock.
If 400,000 tons of rock were removed in 18 years, 22,222 tons of rock had to be removed every year. This means that 60 tons of rock was removed every day, which gives us 5 tons of rock removed every hour. I think we can all agree, that is not even possible today to remove 5 tons of rock from a mountain, every hour. Not even with all the so called advanced machines that we have. So, if it is not humanly possible, was it done by humans at all? Was this created with the help of extraterrestrial intelligence?
Now, forget about creating such an extraordinary structure. Can human beings at least destroy this temple? In fact, Aurangzeb a Muslim king employed a thousand workers to completely demolish this temple. In 1682, he ordered that that the temple be destroyed, so that there would be no trace of it. Records show that a 1000 people worked for 3 years, and they could only do a very minimal damage. They could break and disfigure a few statues here and there, but they realized it is just not possible to completely destroy this temple. Aurangzeb finally gave up on this impossible task.
Note that this attempted destruction is very similar to another mysterious structure called The Menkaure's pyramid in Egypt. Another Muslim ruler wanted all the pyramids to be destroyed, and started his work from the Menkaure's pyramid. After years of trying, he was only able to make a small dent on the pyramid. He gave up too. Were all these indestructible structures around the world created by extraterrestrials? Is that why human beings are not even able to destroy them?
In fact, archaeologists agree that Kailasa temple was created before any other temple in the Ellora cave complex. Could this have been built centuries before human beings started carving other temples nearby? Is this why the architecture, the design, and the size is so much better and bigger than other temples? If it was built by humans, it is logical to expect that the rock cutting techniques and design would become better over time. People would gain more experience and knowledge and make better structures in the future. However, the Kailasa temple is the oldest and the biggest temple carved with engineering perfection.
Unlike other temples, the Kailasa is the only temple that is visible from the air. Out of 34 temples, all carved side by side, Kailasa stands out and you can see it while flying over it. Is this just a coincidence? Or was it designed for people to see it from the air, like Nazca lines of Peru? Even on Google earth, the aerial view of Kailasa temple clearly shows an X mark. This is how it looks from the top; you can see a circular design that is studded with 4 lions that create this huge X mark. Was this created as a signal for extraterrestrials, who can spot the location while flying?

We are at Ellora caves in India, and I am going to show you some solid evidence about a secret underground area that is hidden under these caves. As you can see...
We are at Ellora caves in India, and I am going to show you some solid evidence about a secret underground area that is hidden under these caves. As you can see, there is a rectangular tunnel about 1 foot wide that is vertically going down, and is not open for public access. I asked the security guards if I could take a closer look and they told me that visitors are not allowed but they also told me that, this tunnel is over 40 feet deep and then it takes a right angle turn to proceed underground. Nobody knows what's inside after that because the tunnel becomes too narrow for human beings to get through it.
Here is another one that is hiding in plain sight. You can see a channel on the ground and there is a small rectangular opening at the end of this passage that would drain the water to the other side of the temple. But, I went to the other side of this rock but guess what? It is a solid stone!! So, there is no other way, except that this rectangular opening leads to the underground. Notice that the rectangular opening is only large enough for a 10 year old to go in? Since adult human beings can't access it, was it designed for human beings at all?
This is another hidden passage in Ellora caves that I tried to get through, but after 10 feet, it becomes so narrow that I can't go any further. Where do these mysterious tunnels lead? Who could have used such narrow passages? The other important question is: how can you carve such narrow passages if human beings cannot even get through them? Was it carved by humans at all? Were these carved for extraterrestrials that are smaller than human beings?
Notice how this entrance is clearly going underground, in this cave temple. These are underground areas hiding in plain sight. The security guards told me that there are several underground tunnels in Ellora caves which gradually become too narrow for human beings to access them, and all of them are locked. From these old doors, we can assume that these tunnels have been closed from public access at least 30 to 40 years ago.
These underground tunnels are not found in the same area, but are scattered over many different caves in Ellora, which stretches across a few miles. Is it possible that there could be a vast underground city like Derinkuyu in Turkey? Derinkuyu is an enormous underground city with advanced technical features that could accommodate more than 20,000 people, which was hidden for centuries only to be discovered in 1965.
If it is true that there is a vast underground city in Ellora, shouldn't there be ventilation shafts that would allow air from the ground to reach below. In Derinkuyu, there are thousands of holes drilled from the ground that act as ventilation shafts to the underground city. Look at this long ventilation shaft in Ellora caves that is drilled secretly in a dark chamber. It is about 4 inches wide, but it is so deep that we can't even see the other end. Could this be a ventilation shaft that reaches the underground city?
How about this ventilation shaft, which is also going underground? You can also see hundreds of holes like this drilled on the rock floor. Some of them are unfinished, and only few inches deep, but notice how the other holes have been closed with concrete recently. I asked why some of these holes have been closed and my tour guide told me that someone dropped their car keys into one of them, but these holes are so deep that they couldn't retrieve it. So, they just covered these holes by putting concrete over them.
What else could be the purpose of these deep holes on the floor, if they are not ventilation shafts? Why would hundreds of holes be drilled on these rock floors with painstaking efforts without any reason? Now, this is one of the abandoned, bat infested places and let's take a look at what's inside. This seems like a very old sanctum holding a lingam, which is a Hindu god. Centuries ago, plenty of water would be poured on this lingam everyday as part of religious worship, and it would drain through this channel. Notice that this water drain has been closed recently with some rocks. Where would the water go? Let's see...It would go vertically down through this tunnel.
Unless there is an area underground, this would be pointless because the water would just overflow all over the place! All over Ellora caves, there are hundreds of idols which would require thousands of gallons of water poured on them every day. Was this a technique to get clean water underground that could be used for different purposes?

wn.com/Secret Underground City Of Ellora Caves Ancient Aliens In India
We are at Ellora caves in India, and I am going to show you some solid evidence about a secret underground area that is hidden under these caves. As you can see, there is a rectangular tunnel about 1 foot wide that is vertically going down, and is not open for public access. I asked the security guards if I could take a closer look and they told me that visitors are not allowed but they also told me that, this tunnel is over 40 feet deep and then it takes a right angle turn to proceed underground. Nobody knows what's inside after that because the tunnel becomes too narrow for human beings to get through it.
Here is another one that is hiding in plain sight. You can see a channel on the ground and there is a small rectangular opening at the end of this passage that would drain the water to the other side of the temple. But, I went to the other side of this rock but guess what? It is a solid stone!! So, there is no other way, except that this rectangular opening leads to the underground. Notice that the rectangular opening is only large enough for a 10 year old to go in? Since adult human beings can't access it, was it designed for human beings at all?
This is another hidden passage in Ellora caves that I tried to get through, but after 10 feet, it becomes so narrow that I can't go any further. Where do these mysterious tunnels lead? Who could have used such narrow passages? The other important question is: how can you carve such narrow passages if human beings cannot even get through them? Was it carved by humans at all? Were these carved for extraterrestrials that are smaller than human beings?
Notice how this entrance is clearly going underground, in this cave temple. These are underground areas hiding in plain sight. The security guards told me that there are several underground tunnels in Ellora caves which gradually become too narrow for human beings to access them, and all of them are locked. From these old doors, we can assume that these tunnels have been closed from public access at least 30 to 40 years ago.
These underground tunnels are not found in the same area, but are scattered over many different caves in Ellora, which stretches across a few miles. Is it possible that there could be a vast underground city like Derinkuyu in Turkey? Derinkuyu is an enormous underground city with advanced technical features that could accommodate more than 20,000 people, which was hidden for centuries only to be discovered in 1965.
If it is true that there is a vast underground city in Ellora, shouldn't there be ventilation shafts that would allow air from the ground to reach below. In Derinkuyu, there are thousands of holes drilled from the ground that act as ventilation shafts to the underground city. Look at this long ventilation shaft in Ellora caves that is drilled secretly in a dark chamber. It is about 4 inches wide, but it is so deep that we can't even see the other end.

Ellora is located nearly thirty kilometers away from the city of Aurangabad in Maharashtra. The caves were excavated and carved out of the vertical, basalt face of the Charanandri hills. Near the cave numbered 32, we can still see the channels through which the volcanic lava once flowed. These basalt rocks are ideal material for the kind of architecture and craftsmanship that the Ellora represents, enabling the craftsmen to express their vision and art on rock as a permanent memorial.

We are at Ellora caves in India and I’ll show you the real reason why it was not built by ancient human beings with chisels and hammers. If all these structures were built by scooping out rocks from mountains, where did all the removed rocks go? The real puzzling fact is that even if you search around Ellora caves, you won’t find any large pile of rocks. According to archeologists, what you see in Ellora is 34 different structures all created by scooping out rocks from mountains. In case you are not familiar, there are no natural caves in Ellora, but all the mountains were simply converted into artificial caves.
Let’s stick with conventional history for a little bit and see if it makes sense. If human beings did in fact carve these mountains, there should be enough debris of rocks to build at least an entire mountain. For example, this is the Kailasa Temple and all the space that’s empty was originally made of rocks and they were scooped out. In fact, the amount of rock scooped out is more than the amount of rock that is still standing. In many of the 34 structures, this is the case where the amount of rock removed outweighs the amount of the rock that we can see. What this actually means is that if we can get a hold of these removed rocks, we can build a structure larger than Ellora caves. In modern day earth-moving, you can see huge piles of rocks leftover even for a small project.
So how much removed rocks are we talking about? In just Kailasa temple alone, archaeologists estimate that over 400,000 tons of rocks were scooped out and this is just from one temple. Imagine the amount of rock removed from 34 temples.
If we do a conservative estimate by multiplying 400,000 by 20 and not 34 the volume of rock removed from Ellora caves is an astounding three million (2 972 872) Cubic meters. So imagine this: If you take all the left over rocks, you can build the entire Giza pyramid and you would still have 500,000 cubic meters of rocks remaining. But what do we find in Ellora? None, no leftover rocks at all.
Here, you can see modern day construction where they are building a staircase and other structures made of rocks. The construction workers told me that they are done looking for rocks around Ellora caves and they are actually bringing in rocks, cut from mountains more than 100 miles away.
So, what really happened here? This is literally similar to the entire Giza pyramid being magically evaporated into thin air. Archeologists and Historians are simply baffled because it is impossible to explain how this could happen. A few videos back I showed you how Historians are completely wrong about human beings building the Kailasa temple in Ellora. But the lack of debris from all these caves raises the question if the entire set of structures was built by human beings at all. We can only imagine what kind of technology would make such enormous amounts of rock just disappear. Ancient Indian texts mention quite a few weapons and devices used by Gods which could create structures like this without leaving any debris behind. Whether these texts are true accounts of history or not, one thing is very clear. Ellora caves were not created by human beings with chisels and hammers.
It was created by a far advanced civilization with a vastly superior technology whether it originated on earth or from above. Perhaps if we explore the secret underground city of Ellora caves, we could find out more about this technology.

The Kailasa Temple is the pinnacle of Indian rock-cut architecture. An entire mountain has been carved out to make this amazing Hindu temple dedicated to lord Shiva. Archaeologists and Historians think that it was built around 750 A.D by the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I.
Thousands of Pallava sculptors from Tamil Nadu were transported to build this temple, who created the masterpiece of Dravidian architecture. This temple is supposedly carved to resemble Mount Kailash, the home of Lord Shiva. It is also called as Kailash and Kailasanatha temple which makes cave 16.

Please visit http://www.phenomenalplace.com for intriguing and exciting places to travel.
This is Ellora caves in India, which is a collection of 34 caves. These caves were built approximately 750 A.D, so these carvings are over 1200 years ago. This is cave 33. Generally, people are not expected to step inside the main Altar or Sanctum.
Inside the altar, is the Jain god Mahavira. Cave 33 was not built by Hindus, but by Jains, and they have quite a few Gods in their religion.Their Gods are usually enlightened human beings. You can see the main God at the center, and there are 2 other deities on either side. You can see the faded colors on them. These colors must have been put on when they were carved and you can imagine how fresh and colorful the images would have been.
What's more interesting is that you can see a small, secret chamber on the right side. Let us take a look inside and see how big it is. It is about 5 feet wide and 6 feet long. And the inside is polished really well which makes me think that it was used by humans as a hiding place.
If it was just for storage, the inside may not have been polished. So, I am guessing that this would have been a great hideaway or a shelter. Now note that the doorway is almost a perfect rectangle. If I put a rectangular stone slab to cover this doorway, the chamber would not be visible at all. And not to mention that it is very dark inside, making it an invisible room.

If I put a rectangular stone slab to cover this doorway, the chamber would not be visible at all. And not to mention that it is very dark inside, making it an invisible room.
