There's some incredibly impressive megalithic structures in India. Look up Ajanta and Ellora caves. I believe the Ellora temple is the largest monolithic structure ever created
the Ellora caves deserve to be their own post. Idiots think aliens mustve built it because theres no debris field… I’m pretty sure its more likely that pilgrims took home small pieces of carved rock for centuries.
The Indian region has historically has been pretty resilient to famines, the exception to that is during British rule there were several famines leading to the starvation and deaths of millions. The consensus seems to be that these famines were a result of British policy. I've never heard of this unsustainable growth and famine argument I'd love to read more if you can provide sources
That’s some incredible stone work right there, how would you go about building it? Maybe one could make a wood arc to serve as a guidance for the shape of the ceiling when you’re carving it? I have no idea how to approach the carving and smoothing of a floor so flat with ancient tech 🙃
