Hey guys, today we are going into an Islamic University in Indonesia. As I keep driving,
I am greeted by this giant Golden dome, the classic symbol of Muslims and their
achievements. But I am here to investigate something crazy, that happened exactly 14 years
ago. On December 11th 2009, workers were digging the earth for laying down the foundation for a
new library. And what they found, was this. Yes, an ancient Hindu temple buried 10 feet
below the ground. You see the lingam inside? yes this is a temple for Lord Shiva. Archeologists say
all this was built at least, 1200 years ago. And it is not a regular temple, something is
very very mysterious about this temple. As soon as you set eyes on it, you immediately
realize that it has a strange design, there are 2 separate temples, and a weird, mysterious glass
box in a corner. As I go in, I walk around the temple only to find out there is no entrance.
I have to climb up, to see what’s inside. I am immediately attracted to the lingam,
I want to touch it and tap on it. There is something very odd about this lingam, can you
tell me what it is? This is a 2 part lingam, which is quite unique. What does that mean? Lingams
usually have 3 parts - Circular, a smooth cylinder on top, Octagonal or 8 faceted mid-section and a
Square with four sides at the base. But here, you can see that the octagonal mid-section is
missing. It only has 2 parts - the top circle and the bottom square. Why did ancient builders
deviate from the norms and create such a lingam? Because they wanted to remove the lingam from the
base whenever they wanted. The octagonal part is usually carved to make the lingam firmly fit
into the base and make it immovable. That’s why this lingam was not designed with the octagon.
But why did ancient builders want to remove this lingam often? When archeologists removed
the lingam from this base or Yoni, they found something spectacular underneath,
in this square hole. They found a stone box, and when they opened it, they were shocked. Inside was
a complex stone plate, made of several cavities, they had never seen anything like this before. It
had 8 large arrows carved, exactly aligned to the 8 different directions. And it also had 8 small
rectangular cavities carved between the arrows. In the center, there was a perfectly carved circle.
So, a total of 17 cavities. The advanced stone work mesmerized the archeologists and immediately
their chief and other officials started pouring in to look at the miracle. They wondered, how did the
Primitive people who lived 1200 years ago, create such an advanced stone work, did they use machines
to carve them? But this was nothing compared to what they found inside these cavities!
Inside one cavity there was a thin gold foil, neatly cut and placed snugly in the cavity. In
the next rectangular cavity, there was a thin rectangular silver foil placed
perfectly. This continued with alternating foils of gold and silver, except 2 cavities
in the East and North East. They were filled with oval bronze pieces. As we recreate this,
we can understand that this starts to look like some strange gadget or a device.
But what was inside the circle at the center? In the center there was a Gold
foil with inscriptions in ancient Kawi Script. We can see that something is written on it,
but it is not clear enough to read. When they removed the gold foil, they found one more
amazing artifact placed underneath. A circular plate made of pure gold, with arrows pointing
in 8 directions, and a circle in the center. You cannot help but wonder, was this a high tech
device? Did it come with a manual or a user guide? Today, when we buy a new gadget, it comes with a
manual of how to use it. Is this why we find a gold foil with step by step instructions? Why
would they make a complex box with 17 cavities and why is it geometrically symmetric? Why did
ancient builders make gold, silver and bronze into foils and place them in specific locations?
Archeologists and historians have dismissed the entire casket and its contents as a
mere ritual box. In their report, they point to a ritual called Garbhanyasa,
this is similar to Praana Prathista ritual done in India. This is a one-time ritual where the
priest would bury valuable materials underneath a statue to initiate or give life to the statue.
But this is wrong for two reasons, the ritual requires that these valuables are buried in
the ground, it is never secretly placed between 2 stones. Secondly, this was not an event that
just happened one time, in this temple. Ancient builders clearly made the lingam with just 2
parts, so they could remove the lingam whenever they wanted. This is why they cleverly omitted
the octagon part because it would make the lingam immovable. This design clearly proves that they
repeatedly removed the lingam and accessed the stone box. If they accessed it on a regular basis,
that means they used it for a specific purpose – so how did they use it?
Now, along with gold and silver coins, they found a bunch of thin pieces of silver. And
archaeologists initially did not think much of it, but when they took it to a lab, they realized that
they were pieces of one single sheet of silver, which had been torn apart, and when they pieced
them together, their jaws dropped to the floor. The sheet had a grid with a circle in the center,
with 8 water droplet shapes, etched around it. Was this a clue to find another device?
Remember how we all played treasure hunt when we were kids? How did we hide the
prize? We would leave a trail of clues and hide pieces of the treasure in multiple spots,
right ? Why? Because the finder must not only be able to search and find something,
because any fool can just physically search everywhere, but an important treasure must
not fall into the hands of a fool. So, how do you make sure the finder is intelligent? When he finds
a piece of the treasure, leave a trail of clues there, along with some valuables. If he is a fool,
he will be satisfied with the valuables and dismiss the clues as meaningless. Only if he is
intelligent, he will understand that it is a clue, and use it to find the next level of treasure.
Now, here is my conspiracy theory: is it possible that the silver grid with 9 carvings,
was a clue to look for it? Is it possible that all these statues have various objects
buried underneath? Does each one have some high tech device buried under it? Was this
the real purpose behind installing these statues and altars at various places?
Look at the base of this lingam, there is something very odd about the design. It
has many grooves, deep cuts in it. Why? Were they designed to place ropes in these grooves
and lift the Yoni up? And notice these weird rectangular depressions, these depressions
are carved on all four sides. Why? This is never found in any lingam, even in Indonesian lingams.
Were they created to firmly lock some kind of a fixture, and lift the yoni up, to access what is
underneath the base? Of course, this is just pure speculation, with no evidence to back it up. Just
because they found something under the lingam, it would be a ridiculous theory to claim that the
base was also hiding something, right? Wrong. Archeologists lifted the base,
and underneath, this is what they found. A large stone box, sealed airtight. Archeologists
carefully removed all the dirt and when the opened the lid, their eyes popped out of
their sockets. What did they find inside? They found a stone plate, exactly matching
the silver sheet with the circle and 8 water droplets. This stone plate was a perfect square,
8 inches long and 8 inches wide and you can see that it is a few inches thick. What was
inside the holes? Archeologists found fine silica, they were so fine grained,
they couldn’t believe it was natural sand. They sent it to the lab for scientific examination.
All the holes had silica, except the hole pointing in the southwest. What did they
find there? A thick metal foil folded up, made of copper. What was the role of silica in this?
When the lab reports came back, it showed that the sand had no traces of plant material at all. If
it was just dirt or soil taken from an ordinary place, they would have definitely found minute
plant particles. But this is completely different. There is something about this
temple’s silica, that we don’t understand. Now, think about the design of the temple. Did
you notice that these shrines have no steps? If they could build such stone structures,
they could have easily added stone steps here, like all other ancient temples. But
they intentionally made it difficult for people to enter both the temples, by not adding stone steps.
Why? Because they did not want everybody to enter, only a select group could access this temple.
This indicates, that they were doing something secretive or high tech here, that’s why it was
forbidden for common people to enter it. They would have used a wooden ladder,
and then when the job was finished they would have moved it. Were they using it as a lab? This layout
looks quite interesting: We can see two pedestals side by side, along with a rectangular pit next
to them. A unique layout, as though someone was using them for scientific experiments.
But then, archaeologists found something buried underground that was so crazy, they wanted to
call the President of Indonesia! I will explain this in the next video, I am Praveen Mohan,
thanks a lot for watching, don’t forget to subscribe and I will talk to you soon. Bye!
