Hey guys, in this video, I am going to decode some strange information about ancient technology,
I have been researching this quietly for many years and gathering this data from several
ancient temples of India.
Let us take a look at this carving: What do you see?
Two spectacularly intertwined snakes to create a mystical association of masculine and feminine
energy.
Right?
Now, also look at this carving, again you can see some unexplainable symbol of spirituality.
What do they mean?
Why are they carved in ancient temples?
Did ancient builders create all these carvings merely for religious or spiritual reasons,
or did they carve them for a practical, scientific purpose?
What if we re-create this information?
So I started to re-create these carvings physically, with the help of volunteers.
So I took 2 strings, placed them exactly as shown in this carving, and then pulled the
ends.
See what happened there.
This is a knot, an actual knot.
This is called a square knot or a reef knot.
And then, it clicked.
This finished knot is also carved in the next pillar in the same temple.
Now even more strange, we don’t even see the carvings of the beginning and the end
stages, we see step by step procedure of how to make this knot in carvings.
What you are seeing is an ancient step-by-step manual of how to tie the square or reef knot.
Today, if you want to tie a tie or a knot, you google it and you will see 4 stages.
Ancient builders of India have done the exact same thing in stone.
Multiple steps are shown, how the strings should be placed, how they should be twined,
and then how the knot is formed.
All carved in pillars one by one.
Now, let us go back to this carving.
Initially I described this as 2 magical Nagas intertwined to represent Yin Yang forces,
right?
So I decided to try this, we took 2 strings and we placed them exactly as shown in the
carving and tightened them, and guess what?
Another knot.
This knot is called Carrick Bend knot.
What is going on in ancient Indian temples?
So I decided to take this up a (k)notch, and I found this carving of a beautiful pentagram,
a 5-pointed star that is not only a sacred symbol in India, but is also a mystical symbol
around the world.
But why is it carved in this temple?
Then, I started to notice that at the crossings, one strand is going up, and another strand
is going down.
This means this is a 3-d carving okay, they are literally telling us to put one strand
below in certain places, and above in other places.
Today, experts in knots call them under-strand and over-strand.
So, I decided to replicate it, I carefully looked at the crossings and mimicked the carving.
Do you think this is a knot?
Yes, it is.
This type of knot is called Torus Knot or a Cinquifoil, actually in the west it is known
as the Solomon's Seal.
But you can see this knot has already existed in ancient India as well.
I have now collected and documented these knots from more than 50 ancient temples.
But now let us go to the Vitthala temple at Hampi, because it has some very strange carvings.
This is an insane temple with unexplainable technology, like the musical pillars.
Look at this carving, what do you think?
That is definitely a snake’s head at the top, and if you look closer, you can see the
2 other snakes as well, intertwined beautifully.
So, again, we recreated this, and sure enough, yes it does form a spectacular knot, this
is called the Chain Sinnet knot.
All these knots you see are actually very good and strong knots.
In the same temple, we have lots of carvings showing knots, unfortunately many of them
are now eroded, and I was not able to replicate some of them.
Because the details are gone, and we do not preserve these precious temples.
Here is another one, it is very odd.
I don’t know if you can understand this, it is unique in many ways.
It was very difficult to re-create this, we failed a couple of times.
But guess what happens when we tighten it?
This is another complicated knot, called the Clover-Leaf-Knot.
If you read today’s text books about knots, people think they invented many of these complicated
knots in the last few centuries, but from these carvings we can understand that ancient
Indians were masters of these complex knots, and not only that, they were keen on passing
this knowledge to their future generations, using these carvings.
This is priceless information, because today, around the world, parents send their kids
to boy scouts or scouts and guides training, they send the kids to boot camps to learn
about knots.
But if you tell an Indian parent to take the kids to temples, both the kid and their parents
think it is a waste of time, or it is just a place where you can go and close your eyes
to worship God.
But ancient temples were also designed to open your eyes, not just for spiritual information,
but also technical, real life information.
Ancient Indian Temples are extraordinary sources of practical information.
Think about the point of view of ancient sculptors, they could have carved any of the thousands
of Hindu gods, dancers, arts, but instead, they chose to carve these knots because they
wanted to teach their future generations, a necessary life skill.
But this technology, this art of teaching actual information in temples, was lost in
the last few centuries.
. And the newer temples have become mere places of worship.
And I will show you why I say this, look at this carving from a temple that was built
in the last few centuries.
What about this one?
Is this a knot?
I mean, it seems obvious that there are many overstrands and understrands and this is just
too complex not to be a knot.
But we re-created this, and we realized it is not a knot, it is just a nice design, nothing
gets tied up in this.
Here is another one, right next to this design.
You can see the intertwined nagas.
What about this one?
Again, surprisingly it is not a knot.
And this is mind boggling to me.
In ancient Indian temples, they were teaching you step by step about how to make knots.
Not one or two, but there are hundreds of different knots carved with illustrations.
But this idea was lost somewhere in time, and now these carvings have become mere religious
symbols.
This is why, the temples built in the last few centuries, do not show knots.
These newer temples are just poor imitations of ancient temples without understanding the
concept of ancient science, technology and art.
So somewhere in the last few centuries, this knowledge was lost.
And knot making is an essential life skill, and you have to be an expert in Knots if you
are doing construction, if you are lifting megalithic rocks, and these knots can save
your life if you are doing stuff like mountain climbing or cave diving.
Okay so you have now understood that ancient builders carved a variety knots, but is this
really advanced technology?
It is time for me to show you some very advanced ancient carvings.
At first sight, we are shocked by the details on this stone.
There are so many weird features in this carving.
There is a gear at the center.
If this gear turns, it appears that the string would move like a conveyer belt like mechanism.
And if you look carefully, you will find smaller gear wheels as well.
And that is not the end of it, look at this, this is clearly a stopper, just like what
we use today.
And it gets more interesting, because every carving you have seen so far was symmetrical,
if you split in the middle, both halves look identical.
This is one of the key features of all these knots.
But this one is completely different, because it is not just a knot.
If you split in the middle, on one side, you can see a crescent, on the other side, you
can see a full circle.
This half represents darkness because of the moon, and this half denotes light because
of the sun, but if you look carefully below, the halves are not identical, they are inverted.
This is mindboggling, look how these details are carved in a strange, orderly fashion.
This is currently housed in a Government museum of Chennai, and archeologists confirm that
it is in fact an ancient carving.
Is it possible that this is a model of an advanced technical device?
Why else would it resemble modern day features like gears and stoppers, not to mention the
insanely complicated knots.
We now have a team which is currently trying to re-create this with actual gears and stopper
mechanisms.
Why, why bother?
Because this is said to be the exact same pattern carved on the secret vault of Padmanabhaswamy
temple.
In case you did not know, in the year 2011, authorities managed to open some secret vaults
in the Padmanabhaswamy temple.
What they found sent shock waves around the world, they found 22 Billion dollars’ worth
of gold and precious gems.
This temple which is at least 2000 years old, has a total of 6 different vaults, and authorities
have been able to open only 5 of them.
The most important Vault, now referred to as Vault B has not been opened yet.
Why?
Because the door is said to be locked with the same complicated Naga pattern.
Today, you can go online and see various photoshopped pictures of this door, but no one has an actual
photo of this door, because no filming is allowed there.
Even what I say is hearsay.
But temple authorities claim that this type of intertwined Naga knot called Naga Bandham
is designed on the door of vault B. The team which opened all the other vaults tried their
best to open it, but gave up the effort to open this door as there are no locks, no latches,
and no hinges or even cracks to pry the door open.
They were bewildered at how to open the vault as it appears to be made of solid stone, and
became afraid if they break the door open, it will completely jam the vault, making it
useless.
What is interesting is that, today, banks have started to use a very similar technology
to protect their lockers.
If a person does not use the required combination, and tries to force the door open, the doors
will completely jam and will make it impossible to access what is inside.
Is it possible that Vault B is waiting for a particular decoding technology, a particular
combination that can untie this knot?
Is this why authorities have not been able to open this so far?
Wikipedia page mentions vault B as the Forbidden zone and estimates that what is inside this
vault will be more than 50 trillion Indian rupees.
That is about 700 billion US dollars.
But perhaps the biggest treasure is the ancient technology of knots.
Ancient Indian temples have thousands of these carvings showing valuable information, and
they have all been ignored until now.
What I have shown you right now is just the tip of the iceberg, and I hope this video
will be a stepping stone for others to research this area more.
