Hey guys, I am going show you the strangest cave in Ellora cave complex, commonly called
"The Evil Cave" by locals.
In the first part of the video, we'll take a look at how both archeologists and historians
are completely wrong, and in the second part I'll show you some shocking evidence that
confirms some horrifying stories of abduction and even torture that are told by the locals
about this cave.
This is cave number 1 and the official story told by archeologists and historians is that
this is a Buddhist cave, but there is one small problem.
It is not a Buddhist cave at all.
For a place to be a Buddhist temple or a monastery, it has to have either a statue of Buddha or
a stupa and this cave has no sculptures or symbols whatsoever.
In fact, this is the only cave out of 34 caves in Ellora, that does not have any Deities
carved at all.
Archeologists think that this could be one of the first caves carved in this area, but
are baffled because they don't know the actual purpose of this cave.
The second reason why this cannot be a Buddhist cave is because, they found this sacrificial
altar in the middle of this cave's hallway.
This large stone is used for animal or even human sacrifices, where you would basically
place someone's head and chop it off as an offering.
These sacrificial stones called bali peetam are still found in many places in India.
I think we can all agree that there is no way that Buddhist monks would kill animals
and human beings as offerings to Buddha.
Archeologists understand that they are on shaky grounds, so they have put up a plaque
like this.
It basically says that it is possible that it was built as a home for stonecutters, but
was later used by Buddhist monks.
I am not going to question the logic behind building a home that could have taken half
a century to make.
I am not even going to ask how more than 1200 stone cutters were accommodated in these 8
small cells.
But let's take a look at the floor inside one of these homes used by stone cutters.
As you can see, the floor is so bad that it would be impossible to sleep inside this small
chamber.
Some people might argue that these monks and stonecutters were primitive people who lived
1500 years ago.
They probably could have managed to sleep on these floors.
This is an actual sleeping place used by Buddhist monks and stone cutters, which is found in
another cave nearby.
They didn't just make a smooth bed out of a rock, but they also made a pillow to go
with it that would last for 1500 years.
So, if this cave was not built as a Buddhist temple and if it wasn't used as a residence
by anybody, what could be the real purpose of this cave?
So I began asking the local people about this mysterious cave.
They refer to it as "Dush Kuha" which means "an evil cave" and believe that people and
animals that enter this cave at night are abducted into a different world.
They also claim that many of their ancestors were tortured and subjected to some kind of
strange experiments by these otherworld creatures in this cave.
Of course, it just seems like a baseless, vicious rumor but I'll show some interesting
evidence that confirms these strange stories.
Now, you can see a lot of strange holes carved on this wall.
But if you take a closer look, these are not just holes but are clamps made out of solid
rock.
I could put a rope through this and tie anything or anyone to the wall.
Were these clamps used to tie human beings up?
This accurately matches with what the locals claim.
In fact, one of them told me that people were tied upside down from these walls.
This is also possible, because some of these clamps are situated at 12 feet from the floor.
What else could be the purpose of these strange clamps located at such heights?
Let's take a look at these rectangular doorways to these chambers.
Notice how perfectly they are carved.
You can also see that once upon a time they had doors that would close these chambers.
Why do you need such perfect doorways, for these cells that you can't even sleep in?
These perfect doorways combined with good doors can make these cells completely dark
and even make it airtight.
Were these small rooms used as jail cells or even torture chambers?
If you take a look inside these chambers, you can see clamps on these walls too.
Did extraterrestrial tie up human beings inside these dark chambers and use them for experiments,
like we do on lab rats?
Finally, why did they find this sacrificial altar in this cave?
There is no such altar anywhere else in the Ellora cave complex.
Is it possible that human beings were sacrificed inside this cave?
Was this cave used for experiments, torture and murder?
What do you think?
