hey guys today I'm going to show you a strange place called Tiger caves. This
site you're about to see has many strange features. I think it must have
been an ancient lab. What you're about to see is really mind-boggling because most
people have never seen something like this. There's something very mysterious
about these tiger caves this is not a cave there are no caves here and neither
do these monuments show Tigers. If you look at these carvings there are no
Tigers and historians maintain that these structures were created by Pallava
kings but Pallava Kings never carved Tigers because it
symbolizes their rival Cholas. So what is the origin of this structure? In normal
hindu temples and monuments carvings will appear to have little details when
you are far away and as you approach the monuments the carvings will show the
more finer details but the structure is the complete opposite of this. When
you're close to the structure you cannot make out what it is. If you see the
carvings from this distance you cannot even tell what they are,
you cannot even tell if they're animals. But the farther you go you will get a
clearer picture. Jus try... watch how the camera moves farther and farther and the
picture gets clearer and clearer. This is the beauty of tiger caves. The tiger cave
was supposed to be built about 1300 years ago but some people believe
that it was built much much earlier than that more than 10,000 years ago. This is
a strange structure many archaeologists agree that this was not a temple but
nobody knows why the structure was built? There are no statues. There are no
other features which explain what this structure was meant to be but you do see
various animals. This animal which is commonly mistaken as a tiger has large
fangs but also has horns like a cow and you can see more animals what you
see here is an elephant. There are more elephants carved nearby but there's also
a horse that's carved here. Why did they build a monument like this full of
different animals? Nobody knows. As you can see this is just
a rock it's just a gigantic rock but you know ancient builders were capable of
converting these things into amazing monuments. Just take a look at this, this
is incredible as you can see this is just one rock but they've turned this
into a temple. Let's go take a look at what it has to offer for us.
now you can see a most spectacularly machined Lingam inside this chamber. This
is one of the most complicated structures which were built in the
ancient times. Just go inside take a look how it looks. This Lingam has 16 facets
and all the angles are perfectly made imagine taking a block of stone and
making them into 16 equal sides with perfect angles. Today you would use C &
C machines computerized technology to make a structure like this but how was
it done more than a thousand years ago? The
cylindrical structure which has 16 facets is the original Lingam
but the groove the base that's attached to it is a new attachment made in the
last fifty years which is why the base looks a little bit different it's not
perfect. But in ancient times all lingams were cylindrical structures in this area.
Let me show you an example of this. If you go take a look at this Lingam what
you're looking at is an original Lingam made at least 1300 years ago. Look at how
smooth it is but most importantly lingams
were just cylindrical structures just like modern-day Rockets you can see
some designs are already starting to appear
but this Lingam was not finished. So this is how all ancient lingams looked in
this area. Now take a look at this monument, if you look at the entirety
it's amazing because this is just one large boulder and this has been
converted into a massive temple. You can see multiple entrances, you can see one
main chamber and there are two Guardian doorkeepers
on either side of the main chamber two more gods on the other side. Everything
even the base is made of one solid rock the only addition is the stone Lingam
inside. How were they able to create this? How were they able to make a temple out
of one solid stone. Of course the traditional argument people were using
chisels and hammers and then going boom.. boom.. boom for many years to do this but
is it possible but there's some other technology involved let's go take a look
at that rock because it's very interesting. As you can see, this is a
very weird rock now it has some strange stories attached to it so you can see
this rock has some strange holes made all over it.
This rock is known as Meḻuku Paarai in this locality, why? because locals claim
ancient builders were able to melt this rock like wax. Look at how deep these
holes go. Geologists don't have an explanation for this and will simply
claim this is all natural but no this is not look at the rocks around. There's
nothing like this, why because ancient builders were using
some kind of a device which was capable of melting these rocks. Is it possible
that the large monument you saw next to this rock was built using rock melting
technology? That is one strange Rock known as Meḻuku Paarai. But that's not the
only evidence that ancient melting technology or heat devices were
available. Here's another strange statue. This is
called a Nandi, a bull in Hinduism. As soon as you look at it you notice
something very strange. This is called Arai Nandi which means half bull in
English. This is solid granite but look how this
has been cut perfectly into two pieces like somebody just took a knife and cut
a chunk of butter. According to folklore, the master
sculptor was challenged if he could cut granite like this and he was able to cut
those two halves within one minute. Is it possible that such a technology existed
during ancient times? If so, Were they using some kind of devices which were
capable of creating enormous amount of heat? Were they using rock melting
technology? In this video I have shown you two major structures within the
tiger caves site. But there are more mysteries in the site and I will publish
that video tomorrow so don't forget to watch part 2 tomorrow.
I hope you like this video. I am Praveen Mohan. Thanks a lot for watching. I will talk to you soon. Bye!
