Some of the archeological discoveries are plain shocking. This temple is 1200 years old, and it was carved from the solid rock. How the heck did they do it?
This one is called a Kailasa temple, and it is found in the west of India. This Hindu temple is unusual and impossible.
Hold your breath as you read this piece, for it will completely shatter what the history taught you about the Kailas Temple of Ellora Caves.
Archaeologists claim that only single rock was carved out extensively to construct this mammoth, state-of-the-art structure.
What is odd about Kailas Temple is that it was built in flat 18 years in around 756-774 CE which ideally should have taken centuries to built, given the lack of technological prowess back then.

This temple as truly stood a test of time through invasions and wars.
You can also spot this temple from a plane and it is the only structure seen from the whole of Ellora.
Many rulers tried to deconstruct this temple but could not do so. Emperor Aurangzeb wanted to eradicate the very existence of this structure and so, had assigned this work to over 1000 men. They worked day and night for over three years but could not bring this temple down, except for disfiguring some figurines.
This phenomenon can be compared to the pyramids. Another Muslim emperor wanted to deconstruct the pyramids but was unsuccessful.

No one knows who or how has built the temple.
Could the ancient people erect it using just simple tools, such as picks and hammers?

It is reported that over 4000 tonnes of rock were scooped out of a rock to carve this temple out which sounds completely impossible even if there were thousands of artisans employed day and night for 18 years.
Also one cannot ignore the number of invasions and war like situation being prevalent in the society that time.
Despite being such a huge and important structure, there is no historical record of this building. Kailas temple is complete with secret passageways, state-of-the-art drainage system, connecting bridges and complicated designs all carved out of a single rock.
