The Secret of India Hidden for a Thousand Years: Difficult Questions for Scientists

The culture of India has fascinated historians and scientists for thousands of years, especially due to certain phenomena and events that spark curiosity in both the global community and the scientific world.

History is a fascinating subject, but it also presents us with many unresolved questions. Let’s test your detective skills as we explore the following unsolved mysteries in India.

Ancient Indus Civilization

The Indus Valley is considered the greatest and oldest civilization in India.

The Indus Valley is regarded as one of the greatest and oldest civilizations in India, forgotten until its ruins were excavated in 1920. Indus was one of the first major urban cultures in the world, encompassing all of Egypt and Mesopotamia. Various international research teams spent over five years combining satellite images and geological data to create a digital terrain map of the entire area where the Indus civilization once thrived. The Indus civilization mysteriously disappeared about 4,000 years ago. Scientists have recently discovered that climate change was the primary cause of the collapse of this famous ancient urban center.

10,000-Year-Old Stones with Alien Traces

The Chhattisgarh Institute of Archaeology and Culture in India is seeking assistance from NASA and ISRO in studying strange UFO and extraterrestrial drawings on 10,000-year-old stones found in a cave in the Charama region of Kanker district, Chhattisgarh.

Strange drawings depicting extraterrestrial beings.

According to archaeologist JR Bhagat, the strange images depicting extraterrestrials on the stones closely resemble formations seen in films. Bhagat suggests that prehistoric humans may have encountered extraterrestrial beings and depicted images related to otherworldly realms.

Local residents recount that their ancestors have long passed down tales of small creatures known as “Rohela.” These beings reportedly appeared on round flying objects in the sky, landing on the ground and taking away two villagers.

The Beautiful Thousand-Year-Old Great Stupa in India

The Sanchi Stupa Complex is located about 68 kilometers north of Madhya Pradesh. This site is not only one of the best-preserved monuments over thousands of years but also regarded as one of the most perfect Buddhist stupas. The most prominent feature of the Sanchi architectural complex is the Great Stupa. This tallest stupa is essentially a nearly perfect dome, standing 15 meters high with a radius of 30 meters, constructed from baked bricks and mortar.

Surrounding the stupa is a railing located about one-third of the height from the base. At the top, the design features a spacious square terrace, also enclosed by a railing. This is where ceremonies are held during important occasions.

Another fence, built from massive monolithic stone pillars, surrounds the entire base of the stupa. This fence connects to four majestic stone gates, intricately carved, known as “toran Dwar”, facing the four cardinal directions: South, North, East, and West.

The Eastern Secret Society: 9 Anonymous Men

The mysterious group of 9 men established by Emperor Ashoka. (Illustrative image).

Ashoka, also known as Ashoka the Great, was the third emperor of the Maurya Dynasty, ruling from 273 to 232 BCE. Concerned about protecting the empire inherited from his ancestors, he dispatched an elite army to quell the Kalinga uprising, resulting in the deaths of over 100,000 Kalinga warriors. Emperor Ashoka committed himself to his mission of safeguarding the nation and preventing malevolent actions, particularly those associated with warfare.

In 226 BCE, according to ancient texts, this emperor established a group of 9 mysterious individuals aimed at advancing science and technology without allowing it to harm humanity.

So, is the “group of 9 anonymous men” real? Ashoka may have wisely refrained from asking for the names of these 9 men to compile scientific knowledge, particularly regarding warfare applications. This was a challenging time, and other emperors had been known for similar initiatives. These men could explore various combat strategies, training, weapon production, horse and elephant handling, and even the use of gunpowder. However, the existence of an ancient secret society that has survived for over 2,000 years, controlling global events from the remote forests of India without any hints from modern equipment, infrastructure, or technology, is hard to believe. For many, this may only be a legend.

The Musical Pillars – Vittala Temple, Hampi – Karnataka

What makes this temple famous is its 56 unique musical pillars.

The village of Hampi boasts many historically significant structures, with the Vittala Temple being the most notable. Designed in Dravidian architecture, the temple features intricate carvings that highlight the craftsmanship of artisans from that time. Another feature that makes this temple famous is its 56 musical pillars. These pillars produce beautiful sounds when struck, but some British scientists attempted to uncover the mystery within by breaking two of the pillars and found nothing.

The Mystery of the Growing Nandi Statue – Yaganti Temple – Andhra Pradesh

The Nandi statue here has been growing in size over the years.

Located in Kurnool district, Yaganti is a famous temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, attracting large numbers of devotees each year. The mystery lies in the fact that the Nandi statue here has been increasing in size over the years, and this is not a legend. The Archaeological Survey of India has confirmed that the statue grows 2.5 cm every 20 years. Another mystery here is that, according to legend, a sage cursed the crows from entering the temple, which is why no crow can ever be seen in the temple premises.

The Floating Stones – Rameshwaram – Tamil Nadu

They look like ordinary stones but float when placed in water.

Indian mythology tells that to rescue his wife Sita from Ravana, Lord Rama constructed a bridge from Rameshwaram to Sri Lanka across the Palk Strait. This bridge is known as Rama Setu. What is astonishing is that some stones found around the area, although they resemble ordinary stones, float when placed in water. The reason behind this phenomenon of floating stones has yet to be determined, even though it has been studied by many scientists.

The Giant Stone – Mahabalipuram – Tamil Nadu

The Krishna Stone maintains perfect balance even while precariously perched on a slope.

Krishna is a massive rock located in Mahabalipuram, renowned for its remarkable ability to maintain perfect balance while teetering on a slope. The stone is estimated to be about 6 meters tall and has become a major attraction for tourists.

In 1908, there were attempts to remove the stone due to fears that it might roll down and destroy nearby houses, but all efforts proved futile. What keeps this stone stable at such an unimaginable angle? To this day, science has not provided an answer.
