My forefathers were from south India before they became indentured laborers in south Africa in 1860 We were always told how great India was by our grandparents, I never realized how much until watching this channel Thank you ❤
The colonial powers were authorized by Papal bull 1452,1453, 1492,1493 to CONQUER, CONVERT and ENSLAVE the world. In order to enslave, people from one part of the world were ruthlessly uprooted and carted to some other land. This ensured perpetual slavery. Moreover, the masses were converted by aggression, bloodshed, massacre, terror, torture, violence, intimidation and deceit. The fear of God ensured obedience. The colonial powers, supported by the church, exploited, colonized, looted and controlled the world.
@@artificiusintelligence4996 Population density wasn’t as a huge an issue then especially in South India. Also, Britain may have had benefits but it doesn’t take away from the bad things they did. India didn’t need colonisation to develop just like China. Brits even worsened caste system and religious tension a lot in the Indian subcontinent which still hugely impact the subcontinent to this day which has a knock on effect on the development of the countries.
Invention of Lathe in 1750s and Napolian in 1800s destruction of Holy Roman Empire was start of deleting the Old World & recreating it in a Great Revolutionary Recreation!
Two observations as an Indian who's extensively traveled all over india. 1) The monuments, temples captured from 1860 were at that time itself very ancient monuments. Some dating back to 500 to 2000 years old. 2) As the British power centers were in Delhi and Calcutta at the time, the photographs capture mostly the architecture of that region. So we see a lot of mughal monuments in the picture. Apart from these, there are tons of very ancient hindu temples in other parts of India existing to date.
What I find most interesting in the India region is the excessive ornamentation work beyond other old world structures anywhere. Many similar building techniques, but the ornamentation work is over the top.
I think this was the result of discovery of iron and tools coupled with excessive variety of flora of fauna. The designs of nature, food security coupled with good weather and good tools made Indians hyper creative. Our standard complete set of jewelry has 16 things and called sola-shringer meaning, 16 ornaments.
it’s over the top for someone from an ignorant Western , so-called civilization. Bharath (India) is a deep and profound civilization Beyond the grasp of ignorant Westerners.
indians like to compete with each other. So everytime someone built something, it had to be better than the other. Still goes on everywhere indians are. Bigger weddings, bigger houses, nicer cars, better grades.....its never ending.
Hey Guys c'mon not everything is a joke. Yes indeed, there are many beautiful buildings across the world; you have caught the bull by the horn here. So we had the best architects build many amazing structures across the world. In the indian sub-continent there is a second layer on top of structures, these are where the Artisans give way to Artists.. every building commissioned was to be built to convey one or more or even whole concepts that should remain with the later generations. So when you see the ornamentation it's the written history & the same depicted in the most iconic and significant structures.. before 1200 AD, writing down and ensuring it's longevity was a major concern, so the ornamentation is basically a level of documentation as well as a showcase of the work of Artists. Artists in Hindi is "Kalakar" ; "Kal" = Tomorrow "Akar" = Shaping and creating a framework. Result: Those who shape the future of the society and imbibe framework and concepts into the next generation.. Constantly evolving and perpetual; that is the significance of Ornamentation. Many thanks for your keen observation.
These places were already ancient ruins, even in the mid 1800’s, and like everywhere else in the world, there were very few human beings around. Amazing!
Old picture rarely capture human being because the nature of old camera need long exposure where moving people simply didn't captured onto the film unless they were still and not moving long enough.
Due to invaders otherwise temples would be in full glory, but u still see many temples in south because north stopped the invaders from going much south
Ofc India have lots of foreign influence, these foreign invaders came and built their own empires, Babylonian, Assyria,persia/medes, malmuks( Egypt), Greeks, Afghans, Mongols etc.( and Indian influence reached as far as Borneo too) but half of the structures and monuments in this videos are from a time period far beyond those...
Ancient Indians immigrated from Babylonia. When the people were dispersed after the great fall after the tower of babel. Over time as they moved into Africa... People branched out and some into India. And more different tribes came in. India is made up of different nation bloods running in their veins. But they still hold their ground as a culture.
@@thisnthat7760 i have not read indian history even i am indian. Can you tell me which empire or emperor was of babylion, assyria, persia, Egypt, greek was there in india. Afgan mostly from kabul, kandhar were considered part of indian sub continent. Infact, passes like khyber, bolan, golan is where indian mainland were start of india in past. And central asian always attacked all parts of the world close by. India was no exception. Except for islamised central asian, all become part of indian society. There are only three influence of foreign architecture in india from 5000 years. First statues of budha where greeks become budhist under influence of indian monks and they contructed budha statue on hellensic style mostly in persia and afganistan. Second islamised central asian, who built arch and dome in mostly their construction. Third is victrorian and little bit iberian style mostly in goa. Except, islamic architecture, others are not even 1% of total indian architecture. Even islamic architecture is 10-15% of total architecture of india.
It’s sad to acknowledge how we have been duped from knowing our true history, It would be fascinating to hear and know the truth. These buildings depict a culture of beauty, very different from todays styling 😢
Hidden in plain sight. Everything must be learned, mostly on our own, as adults, in just one lifetime. Every single one of us comes from the womb of a woman, naked and knowing nothing -- except perhaps to suckle. It has always been like this, BUT never before NOW have so many educated people lived so freely, so abundantly, and so connected to a shared, worldwide experience with near-instant communication. It is GUARANTEED to Wake "THIS" Generation Up!

When sun rises in west , it sets in east. India's time was gone brother, but it will come back again , she will rise. That's the circle of time (hinduism defines Time as circular, just as days , months , years come back).
This architecture is mind-blowingly BEAUTIFUL !! Such intricate detailing... wow. But what keeps coming to my mind as I look at these grand palaces and huge temple courtyards is- Where are all the PEOPLE? The place looks deserted. 🤔

They are not lost in time...lot of them still exist...most of the ones which are shown here still survive...some of the large temples of the south are active places of worship... thousands visit every day
Well I mean the north was the main reason the south's ancient temples are standing tall, the north was the battleground and the graveyard of empires. We were the bufferzone between the Cholas/Pandayas and other proud civilizations. Divided by north and south but united by being an Indian ❤🧡.

I think we should actually, but also most structures here are still there and some actually restored.. Lovely photos and Kudos to the gentleman who took them.. it's very well exposed and most don't recall; in 1860s taking a photo was not like touching something.. it had to be done with a lot of manual labor and hard work. Coming back.. if you get to see one with your own eyes; you will see why it's more beautiful in person and then exactly why these photos are so well shot. On-Point.
Just imagine over 5 million temples destroyed and looted from 750 AD to 1500AD and still see so many architecture. Imagine if you visited in pre 750 AD scenarios?
Wow, these 1860s photographs of India by Samuel Bourne are truly captivating! The richness and history captured in these images are remarkable. Incredible glimpse into India's past! These 1860s photographs are stunning. The historical significance and beauty of these images are simply mesmerizing. Thank you for sharing this remarkable collection!
SALaM, SHLAMa, SHLOMo, SHALoM, NAMASTe, PEACe. Jainism is a religion founded in ancient India. Jains trace their history through twenty-four tirthankara and revere Rishabhanatha as the first tirthankara (in the present time-cycle). The last two tirthankara, the 23rd tirthankara Parshvanatha (c. 9th-8th century BCE) and the 24th tirthankara Mahavira. Jainism is one of the world's oldest religions, originating in India at least 2,500 years ago. The spiritual goal of Jainism is to become liberated from the endless cycle of rebirth and to achieve an all-knowing state called moksha. They Worship The Jinas [Jinn In Arabic] The Jinn Are Created From Energy, Whom Can Travel At Any Speed, Take Any Form, Whom Have The Free Will. Angels Do Not Have The Free Will, Whom Are Created From Light. They Too Can Travel At Any Speed & Take Any Form. Lucifer Was A Jinn, Whom Earned His Way Up To Work Amongst The Angels. When God Created Adam, He Taught Him Vast Knowledge. He Presented Him To The Angels, God Said Since I Have Created Adam, Greater In Knowledge, I Command You To Prostrate To Him. All The Angels Obeyed [No Free Will], Except Lucifer Being Of The Jinn [With Free Will], Refused To Bow Down. He Said He Was Greater Than Adam, Being Created From Energy, Whilst Adam Was Created From Earthly Mud. Then He Was Banished As Satan [The Accursed One], Given Power To Deceive The Whole Of Creation. Attaining Respite, Till The Day Of Judgement. The Good Jinn Believe In God, Worship & Praise Him. The Evil Jinn Become Demons, Assisting Satan, In His Evil Master Plan.

@7:22 just a glance should be more than enough evidence to dispel all questions about advanced stages of civilization before 1800s. For the skill using chisel tools, this would be a marvel, given significant time to construct these statues. But since a different method was used, it is evidence the technique used for consistent statues like this was highly advanced - for masonry alone would be impressive! From an indian youtuber who has access to these historic locations, he has found that they ARE NOT all stone, some are metal type materials and so on. Furthermore, the depictions (heiroglyphics you may call it) he seems to have discovered are actually ANIMATIONS of movements of figures, animals and more if you lay out the entire panels over each other you will see MOTION. Marvels, alone, but combined with anomalous advanced references to genetics, energy tools and weapons, it is a real epiphany if you can accept it.

India held the majority of world trade up until about 400 years ago, they built the best ships in the world and made the best fabrics. It was Britain that deindustrialised the country and forced the people back into starving peasant farmers.
@@angelinawilliams9491if you research a bit about Indian civilization before Britain's and Mughals occupied and altered India's history You will naturally know. And dig deeper into education(University like- nalanda, takhshila etc.), medicinal knowledge, architecture, philosophy, martial arts etc. And you will naturally know India has dropped from the top to the bottom due to foreign influence and internal conflicts and severe torture to the common people by British and most of the Muslim Dynasty. And the alteration of history by them. And dig a bit deeper and you will see that how many Muslim rulers like Bakhtiyar Khilji destroyed most of Indian tamples, destroyed Universities and the books, and looted India for many centuries.
@rajeshroy8807 @angelinawilliams9491 All that is true. But the fact is India and China were still the world leaders in trade and manufacturing around 1600. Look at a graph of GDP over the last 2000 years and India and China were always at the top. India had the best shipyards, ships, sails, ropes etc. It wasn't until the English pirates came and starved and looted the countries that India and China started to decline as an economic power.
I went to nearly every place shown here about 20 years ago and everything is still there - in exactly the same good condition as shown in the photos. Everyone could go and take the same pictures now, like I did. Mostly from around 1630 the Shah Jahan years, thats the beautiful buildings including Taj Mahal, while the boring english stuff is from their government-years around 1850 in Calcutta and Dehli.

I just keep watching this, the collection of photos in this is video is truly and utterly amazing, astounding and so much appreciated. Such a blast from history, thank you Jarid
Also these pictures were taken AFTER the muslim mughal empire raped, pillaged, looted and destroyed India. India had some temples covered in gold. Imagine the ones that were destroyed out of spite because of its beauty, how amazing they must have been. they didnt even allow this photographer to take out pictures of the great temples whose designs were far superior because the actual science of temple design is from our ancient texts, most of these pics are of mosques and tombs.
Very true ..and I feel westerners are always biased or shallow...who never makes a real effort to show case the original structures of India...they are so stuck with tombs of these invaders
If the Mughal empire destroyed India then why did India hold the majority of world trade up until 400 years ago? They were the most advanced large industrial society in the world 400 years ago. The people who destroyed the country were the British. 50 million people perished from starvation under the British empire, far worse than anything the Mughal empire did.
I don't disagree. But there's selfish, then there's starving 50 million people. I think that is the worst toll ever from any foreign occupier. @@ShubhamKumar-vd9xy

The crown took over in 58. I imagine they destroyed a lot of stuff in the ensuing years to achieve conformity of the locals via cultural genocide. As well as possibly destroying artifacts for religious reasons.
Actually all the destruction was done during the Islamic occupation for 800 years..and some by Portuguese. British were more focused on transferring resources from India to Europe and carting away all our movable assets and knowledge written on manuscripts centuries ago…they also robbed us blind of all precious artifacts, ivory, silk, spices, idols, gold, precious stones (whatever was there after the raids of Taimur, Nadir Shah, Ghaznavi, Durranis, etc) carpets, sculptures, handicrafts…list is endless.. only buildings remain mute witnesses😢
Bro dont talk rubbish, i am from calcutta, i tell you this, the crown tried to preserve these ruins, crown set up archaeological survey of india.. Go read your history first, before you say bad things about the crown.. Culture that was dying, was revived by the crown, dont even try to distort history.
@@Sudip_Sarkar_Charles_Edwardshell no. Many of our prizes artifacts aren't even in our country anymore but in British museums, the crown didn't do us any service by preserving it, certainly some indologists took interest in ancient artifacts but they didn't even hesitate to cut open a pillar to study the so called "ruins" when it was still a place where people worshipped
@@valetudan234Point of this thread is the British didn't destroy the ruins to subjugate or scare the locals, they didn't have to. They did that simply by pitting the many ethnic groups against each other. What you're describing in your post is the British doing archeology, they also did this in Egypt.
Rubbish !!!.. the crown preserved the old & added new structures while in India ... If you get to see photos or know about India & it's past glory it is thanks to the crown ..& travellers who visited India . Had the prized artifacts not been preserved in the British museum today ...they would have been lost to humanity ... stolen or plundered by greedy selfish inhabitants who cannot even keep their nation, rivers , cities clean to date !!! , leave alone preserve the past ... to date ...they spit & urinate on temple walls & ancient structures ...throw their garbage in the rivers .... They have no sense of preservation !!!
Mind blowing magnificent and every bit as mysterious as the pyramids anywhere ! Pretty sure they added the people in these photos afterwards. Just my opinion.❤
these were taken in the very early hours. Just like if you visit the Taj Mahal...you go very early in the morning when they just open. There are hardly any people especially during the winter months when it is cold. Most Indians stay up late, have their dinner at 9 to 10pm. So they don't rise up too early. If they do, it is still very cold outside. They don't have heat in their homes like the West, so their houses are very cold in the early morning hours..Who wants to get out of a warm bed? If you stay in a 4star hotel you should have central heat and air, so you can afford to wake up early to visit the Taj. It is better to pay more and stay in one, so that you can visit the Taj before the crowds.
It would have been amazing to be there and see them lit up at night in all their glory. There’s a magnificent history on this Earth which we’ve been deprived of.

Always amazes me how detailed and well lit photos from early cameras are (nothing is overexposed), given how new the technology supposedly is in mid 19th century. India clearly was one of the richest and most advanced countries when us British arrived.
Yeah the British might have came to rule and ruled for couple centuries but before that India has been invaded multiple times from the west.. from the Persians and Afghans .. one guy invaded 12 times to loot Delhi of all it's treasures .. Alexander even was tempted to loot all of India ,if it wasn't for the Nanda Empire at that time and King porus he might have succeeded. Here's the fact, might sound WILD but half of the ancient world, Ancient Imperial China and India ruled the world and both are the wealthiest nation's rich in gold and opulence as well as art, literature and culture. It is not Assyria or Mesopotamia or Egypt or Greek ,No disrespect but history is written by western colonialists so.... There it went.. oh and democracy wasn't a Greek invention either , before Athens figured it out ,my ancestors ( a small group of people in North eastern India) were living the perfect democratic republic life.. the difference between Athens Greek democracy and mine is,we do not own slaves,we do not divide ourselves between men and women,we did not kill off the old and infirm and the idiots. The society took care of everything, men go to war, women were left to take care of everything, education, business, agriculture, women inherited lands alongside their brothers, they have the first choice to pick , welcomed to speak at the senate and represent her household and speak for it. Ancient India might be the greatest of all .
Before colonial British came ,India GDP in the world is 27% ( on a shoulder level to China, China too is filthy rich ) after British left.. India's share is minus 2% .. they looted everything. It was a dark period.. it is horrible to go through that by saying everything.. that is why half of us today are MAD ANGRY still.
congrats Jarid! AMAZING to see,and keep wondering,how they built,tools ,technology,and what about The light source...somethings ARE hidden from us indeed...waiting next videos...blessings from Brazil!
Strange, how these ancient (newly rediscovered) photos of the old world, rarely show that many people in them. Almost as if the world had just come out of some global war/cataclysm, and the photos may capture the ruins from that war/cataclysm?
I could be wrong, but I think that unless the people in the photos were virtually motionless, the very slow shutter speeds of the time wouldn't have detected them.

600 Years if Islamic Invasions. 250 years of European and mainly British invasion. A billion Indians were slaughtered in the span of 100 years. The picture depicts the ruins/leftovers.
Amazed at how few people in these photos, there was one with ghost images, I’m guessing it is because of how cameras work back then. Thanks for sharing.
La Martiniere is now a school and I am currently a student studying at La Martiniere College. The building shown is the Constantia Palace and the Laat in front of it. They were built by a Frenchman who was a good friend of the Nawab of Awadh and a Major-Geaneral in the English East India Company by the name of Claude Martin. Both of these buildings were after his death in 1799, the Constantia in 1800 and the Laat in 1812.

I'd love to see these restored and in color. Someone really needs to do the work on this so we can really get a glimpse at what life was like back then
I obviously knew of the Taj Mahal, but seeing it through the lens of the old world brings to my attention its 5-dome structure, adjoining pillar towers, and all of the antiquitech. We're sold the love story, but I really wonder about its true, original purpose.
According to local Hindus, that was a Hindu temple. Most 400 year old mosques in India and Pakistan and even ancient churches in India were built after demolishing the existing temples. Shahjahan the mughal king who sanctioned the Taj Mahal had 13 wives. So the love story is BS. There was a temple there. Some basic arcehology proves that but the muslims wont allow more exploration there. Because most of the architecture inside any ancient Indian mosque is Hindu architecture which is forbidden in Islam.
@bharathsf you're aware that rulers in most cultures sroudn the world regardless of religion had multiple wives right? Men love differently than women. This Hindu obsession with down playing Muslim architecture is just as sad as the Muslim obsession to down play Hindu architecture. Two branches of the same backward religious tree.
@@adilchaudhry3272 lol what their artworks are nice, I don't think people are going to deny that but you can't hide the FACT that they were built by destroying older temples like a very good example is Ram Mandir and more. Ya you're right that kings could marry more than one but in this culture it has always been marrying to one partner at a time is considered the best that's why we look up to Ram and Sita not Ram's father on marriage. That's why even today Hindus happily accept one partner marriage. On backwardness can you tell me what that is in both because the many beliefs in both are contradiction to each other. More fair compassion would have been Christianity and Islam who basically believe the same thing.
I see some of the most beautiful sculptures destroyed by the Muslims. They haven't stopped their rampage against all that is beautiful on this planet. Hare Kṛṣṇa 🌹🕉
India has been settled for hundreds of thousands of years. Anything showing from 1860 on is all relatively new compared to how old it is. Indians themselves are the result of amalgamation of almost all colored races of man, hence the old stories and imagery of different colored people in the distant past.

It must be is very controlling situation by British rulers, During British rule millions where died in famine and millions was Sent to fought Europe's wars. Indians Life Expectancy was just 28 years.
I went to India in 2017, the people are amazing along with the food and culture , but you literally can’t take a shit in piece…where are all the people in these photos? And not a stray dog in sight …Amazing photos btw x
What's astonishing is the timeline of 1860. It's eerily close to the First war of Independence in 1857 when millions mutinied and hundreds of thousands were killed across India and specially in Delhi , Kolkata, Kanpur etc by the British.
The piano represents the voices of the past. The song of life they once had. This song, lacking the tale of their great demise, is the overlay of the missing people who once inhabited these buildings and pathways. That life is now part of the forgotten past, our past.
These magnificent temples and palaces phenomenal and the architectural and structural the quality of the workmanship. The quality of materials is beyond anything we have today And where are all these people for these cities you seen nobody but a couple here and there what happened to these great builders of these temples and the technology it went with it so many questions with no answers😡😡
0:34 it's cool to see how old kalighat temple looked. these days due to overpopulation and merchant structures, there is hardly any way to visualize the overall structure of the building.
As my great gradma used to say, people just didn't care if they were ruled by the British. It was only in the political hubs in the big cities where the egos collided. Normal life, according to her, was much better under British rule. Everything worked like a well-oiled machine. The government departments weren't a nightmare. Everything happened on time. If a bus driver was late even by 5 mins, he had to give a written notice stating the reason for the delay, which was then investigated. British Raj had its problems, but again, according to her, who lived under the British and even after independence, the British rule was much better. Nowadays the history colonialism is used by academics and politicians as a scapegoat excuse for the lack of progress in the past 80 ish years. After all, China and Japan too started from nothing alongside India at the same time, and well, look where they are whilst people in india are reverting to religious fanaticism under the current despot.
The old world building seem out of place compared to how the people lived. They don't seem to make sense, there is no way they did this without some help of some kind. These building are perfect, no mistakes I doubt they could do them even today. So how were they done and who did them???? So many questions but they will only tell us what they want us to know.
The people in the photos didn’t build these structures. They are just the “founders”. Built by a previous civilization that was gone by the time of these photos. And to this day we have not rediscovered the knowledge or technology necessary to duplicate their achievements.
@@jonathanm5661 I think by now we know we didn't build these or you should. Every reset we just accept these old world building and the story they tell us. The previous civilization were much more skilled but with what? Some of that work looks like lasers did it.
These buildings could be built today, there are people with the necessary skills. The Swaminarayan temple in Bhuj (Gujarat) was so badly damaged in the earthquake of 2001 that it had to be demolished, and a new one has since been built in the same style as many of the old buildings with elaborate stone carvings.
@@jonathanm5661 Lol. How far will you white people go to discredit and invalidate India's history?? They are built by ancient indians, with their own knowledge, skills and technology. In case you didn't know, India has been brutally invaded, destroyed, killed in billions, all of their discoveries, inventions, knowledge burnt and destroyed, add identity and ethnic and religion based genocide (if the term exists), that had gone continuously for around thousand years by barbaric invaders, tell me how in the world can anyone survive and protect their knowledge or themselves for that long period of time? But still indians survived and protected as much they could. Atleast Research before blabbering imaginary theories.
India once the richest the country was reduced to rubbles by the Mughals and British but India has risen back from the ashes and is rising every single day. Soon it will be the 3rd economy of the world. Proud to be an Indian.
The Sumeri tower at 2 minute mark resembles the smoke of a couple of airships taking of. In the smoke and temple is their story told. All temple towers resemble a take off and their message is written in stone smoke and temples.
⚔️thank you. A splendid view of the wonders of India’s early architecture. As each photo wasn’t dated; I found myself searching for each date of construction.🛡️
In 1942 when the socialists (Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah) were yelling QUIT INDIA, my grandfather as a young IAS officer in the Raj travelled from Madras to Quetta. He travelled 2,000 miles in trains through the Madras Presidency and various Kingdoms and by ship between Bombay and Karachi and then again by rail through the Bombay Presidency and Kingdom of Patiala. He never met or saw 1 Britisher during the journey which had him wondering who was to quit India. And that is what he did.
estimated 20k britishers ruled the sub-continent. Played a king against another and a religion against another. It worked well for them considering they ruled over a century.
When analyzing these photos , I can’t help but notice that the ancient Hindu temples were far more intricate in their design, architecture, built and ornamentation. When I compare to the English and Mughal built objects, It’s not even a comparison. Also the Hindu temples are much older in date . Fascinating . Thank you for posting .
Glory days of lost Bharat..... the temples where meant to last and vibrate a certain energy frequency for centuries... thanks to Islamic invaders most of them are in ruins or converted to grand masjid.... the population became stripped of all their identity, culture, spiritual knowledge leaving them fighting over petty mundane things just to survive, making it easy for later British to take over. Wishing Bharat full glory ✨
`It looks so clean and there are so few people. It must have been a wonderful time to live - clean air, clean surroundings, very few stresses in life. Only problem might have been an occurrence of a famine.
There were thousands of problems at that time, I am very lucky to not be born at that time specially being a hindu, this is the lowest time for indian civilisation
The question has to be asked where is all the people? I have seen similar pictures of Moscow around the same time period.. where is hardly no one on the streets Amy and then 15 years later or so the town is bustling. Some of the shots were in Calcutta where is today the crowds are phenomenal. Baffling as the structures are as to who built them the question of where is all the people? And a couple of decades later where do they all come from?
The muslim rulers and sultanates committed atrocities and during their decline they were defeated and after arrival of british the situation intensified, so public gatherings of indians was mostly not allowed at that time by british
The problem the Indian kings faced was they fought with swords against the british army with guns, and lost everything. Each one of them got killed and looted.
You can imagine that, but tell me how our imagination can be always right! So, accept the fact that everything has its value irrespective of what we think about it.
My forefathers were from south India before they became indentured laborers in south Africa in 1860
We were always told how great India was by our grandparents, I never realized how much until watching this channel

Did they ever speak of population, density, building projects by the British invaders etc?
The colonial powers were authorized by Papal bull 1452,1453, 1492,1493 to CONQUER, CONVERT and ENSLAVE the world.
In order to enslave, people from one part of the world were ruthlessly uprooted and carted to some other land. This ensured perpetual slavery.
Moreover, the masses were converted by aggression, bloodshed, massacre, terror, torture, violence, intimidation and deceit.
The fear of God ensured obedience.
The colonial powers, supported by the church, exploited, colonized, looted and controlled the world.

@@artificiusintelligence4996 Population density wasn’t as a huge an issue then especially in South India. Also, Britain may have had benefits but it doesn’t take away from the bad things they did. India didn’t need colonisation to develop just like China.

Two observations as an Indian who's extensively traveled all over india.
1) The monuments, temples captured from 1860 were at that time itself very ancient monuments. Some dating back to 500 to 2000 years old.
2) As the British power centers were in Delhi and Calcutta at the time, the photographs capture mostly the architecture of that region. So we see a lot of mughal monuments in the picture. Apart from these, there are tons of very ancient hindu temples in other parts of India existing to date.

What I find most interesting in the India region is the excessive ornamentation work beyond other old world structures anywhere. Many similar building techniques, but the ornamentation work is over the top.
I think this was the result of discovery of iron and tools coupled with excessive variety of flora of fauna. The designs of nature, food security coupled with good weather and good tools made Indians hyper creative. Our standard complete set of jewelry has 16 things and called sola-shringer meaning, 16 ornaments.
it’s over the top for someone from an ignorant Western , so-called civilization. Bharath (India) is a deep and profound civilization Beyond the grasp of ignorant Westerners.
Everything we do is over the top. Our Accent, Food, Movies 😂
indians like to compete with each other. So everytime someone built something, it had to be better than the other. Still goes on everywhere indians are. Bigger weddings, bigger houses, nicer cars, better grades.....its never ending.
Hey Guys c'mon not everything is a joke. Yes indeed, there are many beautiful buildings across the world; you have caught the bull by the horn here. So we had the best architects build many amazing structures across the world. In the indian sub-continent there is a second layer on top of structures, these are where the Artisans give way to Artists.. every building commissioned was to be built to convey one or more or even whole concepts that should remain with the later generations. So when you see the ornamentation it's the written history & the same depicted in the most iconic and significant structures.. before 1200 AD, writing down and ensuring it's longevity was a major concern, so the ornamentation is basically a level of documentation as well as a showcase of the work of Artists. Artists in Hindi is "Kalakar" ; "Kal" = Tomorrow "Akar" = Shaping and creating a framework.
Result: Those who shape the future of the society and imbibe framework and concepts into the next generation.. Constantly evolving and perpetual; that is the significance of Ornamentation. Many thanks for your keen observation.
I'm lost for words. All I can say is that I've taken so so many screen shots! Just breathtaking
These places were already ancient ruins, even in the mid 1800’s, and like everywhere else in the world, there were very few human beings around. Amazing!
Agree
👍
Old picture rarely capture human being because the nature of old camera need long exposure where moving people simply didn't captured onto the film unless they were still and not moving long enough.
Due to invaders otherwise temples would be in full glory, but u still see many temples in south because north stopped the invaders from going much south
There are many ancient large ruins going back thousands of years, some say riveling in population to are recent times.
Oh, my motherland, may you live forever.
Much love from Fiji. Great video again. India has alot of ancient structures from the Babylonian time to assyrian and Persian even the medes.
Ofc India have lots of foreign influence, these foreign invaders came and built their own empires, Babylonian, Assyria,persia/medes, malmuks( Egypt), Greeks, Afghans, Mongols etc.( and Indian influence reached as far as Borneo too) but half of the structures and monuments in this videos are from a time period far beyond those...
Ancient Indians immigrated from Babylonia. When the people were dispersed after the great fall after the tower of babel. Over time as they moved into Africa... People branched out and some into India. And more different tribes came in. India is made up of different nation bloods running in their veins. But they still hold their ground as a culture.

And central asian always attacked all parts of the world close by. India was no exception. Except for islamised central asian, all become part of indian society.
There are only three influence of foreign architecture in india from 5000 years. First statues of budha where greeks become budhist under influence of indian monks and they contructed budha statue on hellensic style mostly in persia and afganistan.
Second islamised central asian, who built arch and dome in mostly their construction.
Third is victrorian and little bit iberian style mostly in goa.

now convinced India was so prosperous, thanks for sharing
The Civilization before us was able to build way more artistic and beautiful
Check out the grand splendor of new temples in the US, UAE, UK, India etc... it is coming back.
The horse carvings, (ETC!, ETC!) on the Srirangam Temple in Tirucharippalli are more than impressive. ESPECIALLY when considering it was built in the 3rd century B.C….WOW! ❤️☀️

3. The Greek philosopher Pythagoras is considered the father of ethical vegetarianism. The Pythagorean way of life was followed by a number of important personalities and influenced vegetarian nutrition until the 19th century.
The exact beginning of idol worship as known in current Hinduism is unknown. It could actually be quite recent (Recent like around 500 BC. ). During the period of the Indus Valley civilization, there many statues and idol like objects found.
Historians have shown that at the time of the oldest Hindu sacred text, the Rig Veda (dated to the second millennium B.C.), cow meat was consumed by Indians. Over time, particularly from the fourth century B.C., vegetarianism began to spread among India's Buddhists, Jains and some Hindus.
Archaeological evidence from the islands of the Aegean Sea have yielded Neolithic era Cycladic figures from 4th and 3rd millennium BC, idols in namaste posture from Indus Valley civilization sites from the 3rd millennium BC, and much older petroglyphs around the world show humans began producing sophisticated images.

There was neither death nor immortality then. No signs were there of night or day. The One was breathing with its own power, in deep space, windless, by its own impulse.
Only the One was: And, Other than that , there was nothing beyond.
Avesta [Zoroastrian Scripture]
The wise Lord gives to his beloved mankind - to my people, O Lord - the gift of joy which comes from truth and strength.
All men will unite in defence of your teaching and in defence of those who are mindful of your hymns. Let all those who do good deeds come together to foster Mother Earth.

Modern Buddhists Believe In The Trinity, But With No God.
They Have Not Read Their Scriptures Correctly, That Can Be Said For Hindu's, Zoroastrians And Christians.

I think we should actually, but also most structures here are still there and some actually restored.. Lovely photos and Kudos to the gentleman who took them.. it's very well exposed and most don't recall; in 1860s taking a photo was not like touching something.. it had to be done with a lot of manual labor and hard work.
Coming back.. if you get to see one with your own eyes; you will see why it's more beautiful in person and then exactly why these photos are so well shot. On-Point.
Just imagine over 5 million temples destroyed and looted from 750 AD to 1500AD and still see so many architecture. Imagine if you visited in pre 750 AD scenarios?
estimated destroyed temples by islamic invaders are around 40 to 60 thousand..

Jainism is a religion founded in ancient India. Jains trace their history through twenty-four tirthankara and revere Rishabhanatha as the first tirthankara (in the present time-cycle).
The last two tirthankara, the 23rd tirthankara Parshvanatha (c. 9th-8th century BCE) and the 24th tirthankara Mahavira.
Jainism is one of the world's oldest religions, originating in India at least 2,500 years ago.
The spiritual goal of Jainism is to become liberated from the endless cycle of rebirth and to achieve an all-knowing state called moksha.
They Worship The Jinas [Jinn In Arabic]
The Jinn Are Created From Energy, Whom Can Travel At Any Speed, Take Any Form, Whom Have The Free Will.

Hi celebrity
@7:22 just a glance should be more than enough evidence to dispel all questions about advanced stages of civilization before 1800s. For the skill using chisel tools, this would be a marvel, given significant time to construct these statues. But since a different method was used, it is evidence the technique used for consistent statues like this was highly advanced - for masonry alone would be impressive! From an indian youtuber who has access to these historic locations, he has found that they ARE NOT all stone, some are metal type materials and so on. Furthermore, the depictions (heiroglyphics you may call it) he seems to have discovered are actually ANIMATIONS of movements of figures, animals and more if you lay out the entire panels over each other you will see MOTION. Marvels, alone, but combined with anomalous advanced references to genetics, energy tools and weapons, it is a real epiphany if you can accept it.

India held the majority of world trade up until about 400 years ago, they built the best ships in the world and made the best fabrics. It was Britain that deindustrialised the country and forced the people back into starving peasant farmers.
Where are you getting this information from please?
@@angelinawilliams9491 look at the Wikipedia article for 'Deindustrialisation of India'
@@angelinawilliams9491if you research a bit about Indian civilization before Britain's and Mughals occupied and altered India's history
You will naturally know.
And dig deeper into education(University like- nalanda, takhshila etc.), medicinal knowledge, architecture, philosophy, martial arts etc.
And you will naturally know India has dropped from the top to the bottom due to foreign influence and internal conflicts and severe torture to the common people by British and most of the Muslim Dynasty.
And the alteration of history by them.
And dig a bit deeper and you will see that how many Muslim rulers like Bakhtiyar Khilji destroyed most of Indian tamples, destroyed Universities and the books, and looted India for many centuries.
@rajeshroy8807 @angelinawilliams9491 All that is true. But the fact is India and China were still the world leaders in trade and manufacturing around 1600. Look at a graph of GDP over the last 2000 years and India and China were always at the top. India had the best shipyards, ships, sails, ropes etc. It wasn't until the English pirates came and starved and looted the countries that India and China started to decline as an economic power.
India and Africa are still the richest countries in the world but the money went somewhere else,it still does even today
My grandfather has pictures of China and India from WW2 that he took. He was there for four years and they are remarkable. ❤
I went to nearly every place shown here about 20 years ago and everything is still there - in exactly the same good condition as shown in the photos. Everyone could go and take the same pictures now, like I did. Mostly from around 1630 the Shah Jahan years, thats the beautiful buildings including Taj Mahal, while the boring english stuff is from their government-years around 1850 in Calcutta and Dehli. India is the best country in the world to travel to; cheap, fun and easy, full of friendly people
How come we cant build like that anymore?
I only need a visa and a plane ticket, one way. I lived in Vrindavan for 2 years. I came back to the boring USA... sorry i did. Yes ! it is the best country. 🕉
are you serious, the best country in the world to travel? took me more than 30 minutes to find a decent toilet in Rishikesh and the mess and filth wherever you go and the stress everywhere I have not seen in another country so far. I have been to India around 10 times and the south at least was much better than the north. Rivers in Delhi and other places had no water but just trash piled up as far as you could see. I also was in Himachal Pradesh and it was a nice countryside but as soon as you enter a small town the mess starts again. Friendly people, if it were true it doesn't really help because of the mess around you. Driving to Agra from Delhi was the first most horrific and sad experience as I have never seen slums of this size in my life before. So I wonder if we visited the same country.
as it looks like he must have had similar experiences than me

Absolutely incredible!!!! How you managed to compile these historical photos is amazing!!!!
Also these pictures were taken AFTER the muslim mughal empire raped, pillaged, looted and destroyed India. India had some temples covered in gold. Imagine the ones that were destroyed out of spite because of its beauty, how amazing they must have been. they didnt even allow this photographer to take out pictures of the great temples whose designs were far superior because the actual science of temple design is from our ancient texts, most of these pics are of mosques and tombs.
Very true
..and I feel westerners are always biased or shallow...who never makes a real effort to show case the original structures of India...they are so stuck with tombs of these invaders
If the Mughal empire destroyed India then why did India hold the majority of world trade up until 400 years ago? They were the most advanced large industrial society in the world 400 years ago. The people who destroyed the country were the British. 50 million people perished from starvation under the British empire, far worse than anything the Mughal empire did.
@@infliviathese were selfish PPL. Bro 😂😂these are from those PPL who change alliance according to profit 😂😂

@@striker44 you don't need to tell me ,I've been doing this for 40 years.
And if you watched Praveen Mohan after the earthquake the ground was lifted about 40 ft high which uncovered a granite temple. This was on a beach in India . The temple was made of pure granite, and many parts were worn down quite considerably . If you know how much your trying to tell me , when a granite temple is submerged in the sea it takes over 50 000 years .
Thank you for the tip.
@BBDA-CLEAR wow, you are getting too worked up for nothing genius. Have a pleasant day.
The crown took over in 58. I imagine they destroyed a lot of stuff in the ensuing years to achieve conformity of the locals via cultural genocide. As well as possibly destroying artifacts for religious reasons.
Actually all the destruction was done during the Islamic occupation for 800 years..and some by Portuguese. British were more focused on transferring resources from India to Europe and carting away all our movable assets and knowledge written on manuscripts centuries ago…they also robbed us blind of all precious artifacts, ivory, silk, spices, idols, gold, precious stones (whatever was there after the raids of Taimur, Nadir Shah, Ghaznavi, Durranis, etc) carpets, sculptures, handicrafts…list is endless.. only buildings remain mute witnesses😢
Bro dont talk rubbish, i am from calcutta, i tell you this, the crown tried to preserve these ruins, crown set up archaeological survey of india.. Go read your history first, before you say bad things about the crown.. Culture that was dying, was revived by the crown, dont even try to distort history.
@@Sudip_Sarkar_Charles_Edwardshell no. Many of our prizes artifacts aren't even in our country anymore but in British museums, the crown didn't do us any service by preserving it, certainly some indologists took interest in ancient artifacts but they didn't even hesitate to cut open a pillar to study the so called "ruins" when it was still a place where people worshipped
@@valetudan234Point of this thread is the British didn't destroy the ruins to subjugate or scare the locals, they didn't have to. They did that simply by pitting the many ethnic groups against each other. What you're describing in your post is the British doing archeology, they also did this in Egypt.
Rubbish !!!.. the crown preserved the old & added new structures while in India ... If you get to see photos or know about India & it's past glory it is thanks to the crown ..& travellers who visited India . Had the prized artifacts not been preserved in the British museum today ...they would have been lost to humanity ... stolen or plundered by greedy selfish inhabitants who cannot even keep their nation, rivers , cities clean to date !!! , leave alone preserve the past ... to date ...they spit & urinate on temple walls & ancient structures ...throw their garbage in the rivers .... They have no sense of preservation !!!
Spent a few hours watching Praveen Mohan and then I stumble on this. Great.
Astonishing images. Thank you!
Mind blowing magnificent and every bit as mysterious as the pyramids anywhere ! Pretty sure they added the people in these photos afterwards. Just my opinion.❤
Maybe
these were taken in the very early hours. Just like if you visit the Taj Mahal...you go very early in the morning when they just open. There are hardly any people especially during the winter months when it is cold. Most Indians stay up late, have their dinner at 9 to 10pm. So they don't rise up too early. If they do, it is still very cold outside. They don't have heat in their homes like the West, so their houses are very cold in the early morning hours..Who wants to get out of a warm bed?
If you stay in a 4star hotel you should have central heat and air, so you can afford to wake up early to visit the Taj. It is better to pay more and stay in one, so that you can visit the Taj before the crowds.

Very beautiful photos!!!
Always amazes me how detailed and well lit photos from early cameras are (nothing is overexposed), given how new the technology supposedly is in mid 19th century. India clearly was one of the richest and most advanced countries when us British arrived.
Yeah the British might have came to rule and ruled for couple centuries but before that India has been invaded multiple times from the west.. from the Persians and Afghans .. one guy invaded 12 times to loot Delhi of all it's treasures .. Alexander even was tempted to loot all of India ,if it wasn't for the Nanda Empire at that time and King porus he might have succeeded. Here's the fact, might sound WILD but half of the ancient world, Ancient Imperial China and India ruled the world and both are the wealthiest nation's rich in gold and opulence as well as art, literature and culture. It is not Assyria or Mesopotamia or Egypt or Greek ,No disrespect but history is written by western colonialists so.... There it went.. oh and democracy wasn't a Greek invention either , before Athens figured it out ,my ancestors ( a small group of people in North eastern India) were living the perfect democratic republic life.. the difference between Athens Greek democracy and mine is,we do not own slaves,we do not divide ourselves between men and women,we did not kill off the old and infirm and the idiots. The society took care of everything, men go to war, women were left to take care of everything, education, business, agriculture, women inherited lands alongside their brothers, they have the first choice to pick , welcomed to speak at the senate and represent her household and speak for it. Ancient India might be the greatest of all .
Before colonial British came ,India GDP in the world is 27% ( on a shoulder level to China, China too is filthy rich ) after British left.. India's share is minus 2% .. they looted everything. It was a dark period.. it is horrible to go through that by saying everything.. that is why half of us today are MAD ANGRY still.
You preserve loot from us in your museums
congrats Jarid! AMAZING to see,and keep wondering,how they built,tools ,technology,and what about The light source...somethings ARE hidden from us indeed...waiting next videos...blessings from Brazil!
Strange, how these ancient (newly rediscovered) photos of the old world, rarely show that many people in them.
Almost as if the world had just come out of some global war/cataclysm, and the photos may capture the ruins from that war/cataclysm?
I could be wrong, but I think that unless the people in the photos were virtually motionless, the very slow shutter speeds of the time wouldn't have detected them.
@@sputumtubeDas könnte gut sein, doch müssten dann nicht wenigstens verwischte Umrisse zu sehen sein? Zumindest wenn sich jemand langsam bewegt hätte. Nur eine Vermutung.

I’ve noticed a lot of video games show or depict a world with this architecture. Gears of War which is a fictional world but basically Earth. Its cities are designed much like these with antique-tech.
world seems to have been reset post some major event...i have also seen pics like there from other parts of the world. structures like that and people living in shacks and no roads etc...strange
India was hit hard by some kind of event, structures buildings practically turned dust. These are really good pictures Jared 🧱 ❤ 💪
The event was non other than 600 years of Islamic rule where almost every Hindu monuments were plundered and destroyed.
600 Years if Islamic Invasions. 250 years of European and mainly British invasion. A billion Indians were slaughtered in the span of 100 years. The picture depicts the ruins/leftovers.
@@charanteja_ I’m pointing out structures and damage that is common in nature worldwide not just in India.

Amazed at how few people in these photos, there was one with ghost images, I’m guessing it is because of how cameras work back then. Thanks for sharing.
La Martiniere is now a school and I am currently a student studying at La Martiniere College. The building shown is the Constantia Palace and the Laat in front of it. They were built by a Frenchman who was a good friend of the Nawab of Awadh and a Major-Geaneral in the English East India Company by the name of Claude Martin. Both of these buildings were after his death in 1799, the Constantia in 1800 and the Laat in 1812.
Close to getting that 100K subs plaque. Well deserved.

I'd love to see these restored and in color. Someone really needs to do the work on this so we can really get a glimpse at what life was like back then
I obviously knew of the Taj Mahal, but seeing it through the lens of the old world brings to my attention its 5-dome structure, adjoining pillar towers, and all of the antiquitech. We're sold the love story, but I really wonder about its true, original purpose.
According to local Hindus, that was a Hindu temple. Most 400 year old mosques in India and Pakistan and even ancient churches in India were built after demolishing the existing temples. Shahjahan the mughal king who sanctioned the Taj Mahal had 13 wives. So the love story is BS. There was a temple there. Some basic arcehology proves that but the muslims wont allow more exploration there.
Because most of the architecture inside any ancient Indian mosque is Hindu architecture which is forbidden in Islam.
@bharathsf you're aware that rulers in most cultures sroudn the world regardless of religion had multiple wives right? Men love differently than women. This Hindu obsession with down playing Muslim architecture is just as sad as the Muslim obsession to down play Hindu architecture. Two branches of the same backward religious tree.
@@adilchaudhry3272 lol what their artworks are nice, I don't think people are going to deny that but you can't hide the FACT that they were built by destroying older temples like a very good example is Ram Mandir and more. Ya you're right that kings could marry more than one but in this culture it has always been marrying to one partner at a time is considered the best that's why we look up to Ram and Sita not Ram's father on marriage. That's why even today Hindus happily accept one partner marriage. On backwardness can you tell me what that is in both because the many beliefs in both are contradiction to each other. More fair compassion would have been Christianity and Islam who basically believe the same thing.
@@adilchaudhry3272 Dont heap ur desert cult and ur religion's barbarism and backwardness on Hinduism. Islam is a curse on humanity.

India has been settled for hundreds of thousands of years. Anything showing from 1860 on is all relatively new compared to how old it is. Indians themselves are the result of amalgamation of almost all colored races of man, hence the old stories and imagery of different colored people in the distant past.
thank you for NOT colorizing these historical photos. The real images speak for themselves.
You can clearly tell whose constructions are primitive and whose constructions are advanced. The great Bharat forever and ever.
That's why India is always colonised?

I wonder where all the people went? Thank you for this beautiful collection of early Indian architecture.
Famine & plague, like everywhere else at that time.
They didn't go anywhere lol. They just didn't exist.
Mainly Iranian influence Moorish architecture. These are religious places or ruins far from heritable areas.
Also hiding from British tormentors.
All photos are from places around delhi which was mughal capital and there architecture was Hindu persian architecture .
It must be is very controlling situation by British rulers, During British rule millions where died in famine and millions was Sent to fought Europe's wars. Indians Life Expectancy was just 28 years.
Same more then half of this wanders haven't survived they wore demolish as the mental ilness called islam make way to India
Incredible images TY for sharing. 🤩
I went to India in 2017, the people are amazing along with the food and culture , but you literally can’t take a shit in piece…where are all the people in these photos? And not a stray dog in sight …Amazing photos btw x
The people are in the concentration camps built by the brits
What's astonishing is the timeline of 1860. It's eerily close to the First war of Independence in 1857 when millions mutinied and hundreds of thousands were killed across India and specially in Delhi , Kolkata, Kanpur etc by the British.
Nope. The British killed 20 million after mutiny and after that they killed over a hundred million people in famines.
Wonderful research into the genuine past of our realm. Thank you. Happy New Year from England
The piano represents the voices of the past. The song of life they once had.
This song, lacking the tale of their great demise, is the overlay of the missing people who once inhabited these buildings and pathways.
That life is now part of the forgotten past, our past.
Its striking watching these images that Architecture made by the hand of skilled artisans has a real beauty
DESTROYED MOTHER EARTH
Looks less crowded as compared to today.
Great compilation 👏
I'm adding it to my watch later playlist.
These magnificent temples and palaces phenomenal and the architectural and structural the quality of the workmanship. The quality of materials is beyond anything we have today And where are all these people for these cities you seen nobody but a couple here and there what happened to these great builders of these temples and the technology it went with it so many questions with no answers😡😡
incredible India..
0:34 it's cool to see how old kalighat temple looked. these days due to overpopulation and merchant structures, there is hardly any way to visualize the overall structure of the building.
Absolutely incredible. I wish i could go back in time to see india then.❤
When you realise fictions, legends and myths are more true than the history we are led to believe…. 🤯
howdy jarid 👋
happy new year!
interesting finds thanks!
Love your research and videos. Thank you for finding these treasures for us to see.
As my great gradma used to say, people just didn't care if they were ruled by the British. It was only in the political hubs in the big cities where the egos collided. Normal life, according to her, was much better under British rule. Everything worked like a well-oiled machine. The government departments weren't a nightmare. Everything happened on time. If a bus driver was late even by 5 mins, he had to give a written notice stating the reason for the delay, which was then investigated. British Raj had its problems, but again, according to her, who lived under the British and even after independence, the British rule was much better. Nowadays the history colonialism is used by academics and politicians as a scapegoat excuse for the lack of progress in the past 80 ish years. After all, China and Japan too started from nothing alongside India at the same time, and well, look where they are whilst people in india are reverting to religious fanaticism under the current despot.
i think she was dumb for sure
Amazing encapsulating photo's and music, thanks for this it is beautiful.
The old world building seem out of place compared to how the people lived. They don't seem to make sense, there is no way they did this without some help of some kind. These building are perfect, no mistakes I doubt they could do them even today. So how were they done and who did them???? So many questions but they will only tell us what they want us to know.
The people in the photos didn’t build these structures. They are just the “founders”. Built by a previous civilization that was gone by the time of these photos. And to this day we have not rediscovered the knowledge or technology necessary to duplicate their achievements.
@@jonathanm5661 I think by now we know we didn't build these or you should. Every reset we just accept these old world building and the story they tell us. The previous civilization were much more skilled but with what? Some of that work looks like lasers did it.
These buildings could be built today, there are people with the necessary skills. The Swaminarayan temple in Bhuj (Gujarat) was so badly damaged in the earthquake of 2001 that it had to be demolished, and a new one has since been built in the same style as many of the old buildings with elaborate stone carvings.
@@jonathanm5661 Lol. How far will you white people go to discredit and invalidate India's history??
They are built by ancient indians, with their own knowledge, skills and technology.
In case you didn't know, India has been brutally invaded, destroyed, killed in billions, all of their discoveries, inventions, knowledge burnt and destroyed, add identity and ethnic and religion based genocide (if the term exists), that had gone continuously for around thousand years by barbaric invaders, tell me how in the world can anyone survive and protect their knowledge or themselves for that long period of time? But still indians survived and protected as much they could. Atleast Research before blabbering imaginary theories.
India once the richest the country was reduced to rubbles by the Mughals and British but India has risen back from the ashes and is rising every single day. Soon it will be the 3rd economy of the world. Proud to be an Indian.
🤣🤣🤣
You never miss a beat Jarid keep up the good work God has your,back
1817 is when the first camera was invented. Just imagine if everyone had one back then.
I have seen Majority of these places in my youth . But never from this era . And this clarity . Amazing work you did here mate
Far older than we know.
It would’ve been cool to see a modern picture of the site right after the old one
Bless India 🙏❤️🕉️
These buildings are amazing! I’ve never seen them before. Beautiful video thank you!
The Sumeri tower at 2 minute mark resembles the smoke of a couple of airships taking of. In the smoke and temple is their story told. All temple towers resemble a take off and their message is written in stone smoke and temples.
⚔️thank you. A splendid view of the wonders of India’s early architecture. As each photo wasn’t dated; I found myself searching for each date of construction.🛡️
Jaridddd love your channel bro, keep it up!! love u
Great photos of great country.
Thank you for the video. One thing I notice is very few people and no young children. Makes you wonder.
Nice! Thank you! Would be amazing to see also the pictures taken in recent years from the same spots and compare ,like a “then and now”
Absolutely incredible video. Thank you
In 1942 when the socialists (Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah) were yelling QUIT INDIA, my grandfather as a young IAS officer in the Raj travelled from Madras to Quetta.
He travelled 2,000 miles in trains through the Madras Presidency and various Kingdoms and by ship between Bombay and Karachi and then again by rail through the Bombay Presidency and Kingdom of Patiala.
He never met or saw 1 Britisher during the journey which had him wondering who was to quit India. And that is what he did.
estimated 20k britishers ruled the sub-continent. Played a king against another and a religion against another. It worked well for them considering they ruled over a century.
Beautiful images. Thanks.
Amazing ☺
Thank you very much!
Tartaria days. Free electricity. Innovative tech and designs. Buildings built to last for centuries.
When analyzing these photos , I can’t help but notice that the ancient Hindu temples were far more intricate in their design, architecture, built and ornamentation. When I compare to the English and Mughal built objects, It’s not even a comparison. Also the Hindu temples are much older in date . Fascinating . Thank you for posting .
Glory days of lost Bharat..... the temples where meant to last and vibrate a certain energy frequency for centuries... thanks to Islamic invaders most of them are in ruins or converted to grand masjid.... the population became stripped of all their identity, culture, spiritual knowledge leaving them fighting over petty mundane things just to survive, making it easy for later British to take over. Wishing Bharat full glory ✨
`It looks so clean and there are so few people. It must have been a wonderful time to live - clean air, clean surroundings, very few stresses in life. Only problem might have been an occurrence of a famine.
There were thousands of problems at that time, I am very lucky to not be born at that time specially being a hindu, this is the lowest time for indian civilisation
... and disease.
The question has to be asked where is all the people? I have seen similar pictures of Moscow around the same time period.. where is hardly no one on the streets Amy and then 15 years later or so the town is bustling. Some of the shots were in Calcutta where is today the crowds are phenomenal. Baffling as the structures are as to who built them the question of where is all the people? And a couple of decades later where do they all come from?
the cameras need a long time to capture the image. People don't stay that long I suppose
The muslim rulers and sultanates committed atrocities and during their decline they were defeated and after arrival of british the situation intensified, so public gatherings of indians was mostly not allowed at that time by british
The problem the Indian kings faced was they fought with swords against the british army with guns, and lost everything. Each one of them got killed and looted.
