Im Mexican American from Los Angeles and am surrounded by many cultures from around the world but for a reason that i cant explain I've always been fascinated by Indian culture the most, maybe its the Vimanas? Idk.

[rahulsutar]

They say there are 7 wonders in the world but In india there are thousands of wonders❤️❤️❤️

[Saralcfc]

Indians *made something extra ordinary before the west*
West: must be aliens

[nareshponduru]

All my Indian brothers and sisters don't forget our culture and history

[innerlight]

Imagine during ceremonies hundreds of musicians playing on those pillars all at once ...wow

[DwayneETowns]

I would like to visit India one day to see these great wonders. The more I learn about India the more I am intrigued about their history and culture.

[VishalVNavekar]

It's not Hindi music… it is indian classical music

[pitaberaciri]

The historians talk how Egypt and Rome and Greece built all these amazing structures but India an South America are just as amazing

i visited here as part of our history tour when i was studying in mysore. I was super amazed with those pillars producing music. That was a trip i will never forget in my life, the heat was overwhelming but is so the scenery and the amazing architects. Please visit!! you won't regret it

The pillars being tuned really had me in awe. That's an incredible skill that has been "lost" in time.

Hinduism is far more advanced than it’s been credited. Ancient mathematics, physics, medicine etc was gifted by Hinduism although on different time other great Civilization have discovered them as well but, those civilization were destroyed or died out while Hinduism despite of being the oldest religion still thriving. Seems like Gods are protecting their religion.
Very fascination religion for sure.

[felixuchies]

why can't people accept that the humans that came before us were humans just like us and were just as capable if not more capable

[ManjuM-tqcx]

Extra terrestrials actually came down to create history channel and take credit for everything wonderful the humans did.

[KretinzUnited]

Aliens would travel 100s of light years in order to build musically attuned pillars in India? mmmm’kay 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Freeman-ukxn]

Hinduism is universal truth and supreme reality.

[diprajsikdar]

According to this channel we Indian are their aliens.we talk about 7 wonders of the world, I think India is the first wonder of Earth...not a single art but the whole nation is an art..

[craigtheophilus]

I'm happy the British did not destroy this building

[farhazkhan]

These things were not built by aliens these things were built by Great Hindu Scientists (Rishis) first scientists on Earth, all the rituals in Hinduism has a bold scientific background
Although I am an Indonesian Muslim but I have read every Hindu Scripture, that's why I like Hinduism.
Lord Hanuman visited Indian islands (Indonesia) when they were searching for Sri Lanka. Proud to be descendants of lord Rum✌✌
