The paintings here depict scenes of daily life, hunting expeditions, and religious rituals, offering invaluable insights into prehistoric human existence.
Bhimbetka's significance extends beyond its artistic treasures; it serves as a window into the evolution of human culture and creativity, making it a site of immense archaeological and anthropological importance.

Only Vimal
I loooove hearing Vimal. I could listen to him all day :3
Please visit Sanchi Stupa while you are in MP.
This is wonderful! Your guide amazes me. All that knowledge and not stumbling over a single word. I will say Drew Binsky and Yes Theory/Seek Discomfort have been to cave drawings in Southern Iraq, and in Aboriginal areas of Australia archaelogists have placed as 30,000 years old, and 60,000 years old (prehistoric man), respectively. The human art world may have started only a few hundred miles from your origin in New Zealand, Karl! How great is that? You're my go-to for Indian and Pakistani cuisine.
The location is Bhimbetka rock shelters, Madhya Pradesh, India. Near to MP's capital, Bhopal. It's a UNESCO Heritage site.
The First of India are the Tribals. Indigenous people of today are the descendants. Nobody will tell you that.
Please visit Sanchi Stupa while you are in MP.
Sie come to ujjain and indore... Ujjain the mystic city of lord mahakal the god of time and death , full of historical places, city of King Vikramaditya and In indore not only food but the charm of old days of maratha state is waiting for you , would love to host u at our cottage in ujjain and would love to have u heritage walk of indore and ujjain ... I teach in indore university so u can trust me , lol not any street side fraud , waiting for your kind reply ...
Since these people were hunters, it means they were neither Hindu nor Jain.
Very interesting, impressive & appreciated. Thanks 🇹🇼
I am a tribal and I feel very proud to say that even today Indian tribes make this type of painting, I appeal to all the people of the world that whenever you come to MP, you should definitely explore the tribal culture madhya pradesh.
@@subharayExactly… Tribe is just a nomenclature devised by British/western mindset. These people are as civilised as we are today ( just on the other way being spritually advanced) and not necessarily being technologically developed.
@@subharaytirbals are real owner
It's the perfect word to describe what was at the time. @@subharay
@@dineshbugalia7297 There's nothing in the term tribe that denotes being uncivilized. It's like saying family or community.
The Guide's voice is amazing. Perfect voice for background narration
Same what I was thinking, credit of this successful video goes to him only
Guide looking like he's about to say why are you geh?
Good observation!! I trained voice for forty years and was often surprised by how little people heard voice quality. Now I'm shocked and pleased when people actually make note of it!!
The guide has an especially melodic tone.
Same here!
Fascinating place and all of the eras of rock paintings. I have never heard of this location and I studied anthropology and archeology in college. I was robbed! Vimal is such a great guide.
It wasn't a big part of indian history syllabi untill recently. So it makes all the more sense that foreigners wouldn't know about it.
Western history obsesses about the Middle East and Central Asia as the origins of civilization and Indic history is always ignored and there is a bias towards showing Indic civilization a more recent civilization around 1500 BCE (remember the failed theory of Aryan Invasion)…. That way it is shown as though the civilization is recent and came from Central Asia …. Which is far from the truth!
These are of the 1st Indians, the 1st human migration out of Africa.
They were hunter-gatherers until the Zagros migration into India around 10K years ago, which spread agriculture leading to the Indus in the West, & Dravidians in the South
Nonsense.. @@alani3992
Dravidian n Indic civilizations we're flourishing date way back than what you read..
Many more yet to be discovered on paper..
Indian students are being murdered in your country for no apparent reason show why you people were always so afraid. How you all destroyed the most of the Eorld Afghan, Iran Syria. But remember we have never backed down and never will. You all will pay for the wrong deed
इतिहास सुनने में मजा तब आता है , जब इतिहास सुनाने वाला , उसके काम में निपुण हो। एक दिन आपसे जरूर मिलूंगा गाइड साहब।
This was amazing! The tour guide is fantastic! Fantastic video
Please come to india❤
he has a beautiful voice, I could listen for hours
Your always welcome🙏
I love Vimal's voice--and presence and knowledge.
It's dubbed, that's not his voice.
@@aperson2818It is his voice. Can you not look at his lip movements?
agree! his voice is fantastic
@@drrandom2639 are you dumb?
Indian accents always are super calming and mellow, love it :)
rock went to rock city and wander around rock villages to see rocks.......... the video rocked .........
🗿
Rock on, I love the way you put that comment together.
Funny 😂 you rock sunil
Vimal is a great guide and takes great proud in his job. Much respect to him and his knowledge.
-proud- pride. Kind regards to you and yours.
thanks. I'm surprised I wrote it that way.@@knottytoob
Okay you made a point because Vimal said it in past and present sentences @@DevineOne but we all know that he means it well. And his guidance is just perfect right? I enjoyed it very much
"People are good everywhere" So nice to hear that.
It is not true. Just because he is nice, it doesn't mean everyone is nice. There are so many terrible people who hate others because of religous differences.
I’m a huge fan of yours, Karl Rock! The way you talk to people and explore India is amazing. I don’t miss a single video of yours!😊
That's so great!
I've visited India quite a few times but not in the middle - I think it has to be on my list to see. Your guide was wonderful - he had the same style of delivery as many of the guides I've used. I agree it's worth engaging someone to get the full background and enhance the experience. They are not expensive and impart loads of information. In all my visits I only had two that were a bit "dodgy".
Madhya Pradesh is indeed beautiful, less populated and much peaceful
Visit ajanta and ellora caves better than this
Madhya Pradesh is blessed with nature and historic Places, hope you will vist and enjoy your it❤.
M.P has some of the most hidden gems
Best video you have posted in a very long time. Thank You
Please come to india❤
@@TaufeekAhmad-bt2ejcreep
If any Bengali is here must be nostalgic remembering KAKABABU's "BHOPAL RAHASYA". First time we came to know about this place in our childhood.
Recently I visited Bryce Canyon Park, Yellowstone National Park and Grand Canyon in the USA. I never thought that a Rock City thousands of years old would be similar to Bryce Canyon rock formation. Just amazing.....Government of India has done a great job in making this a national treasure. And how clean the place is....I plan to promote this place and forward this video to many. Good work, Karl Rock.....You are rocking in the rock city of Madhya Pradesh......
Earth is the same everywhere - Panguitch Utah or Bhopal Madhya Pradesh. What a beautiful planet we all have. Our home!
Please more of these videos!!!! So interesting and such an incredible place to see. Love and respect to you...
Definitely will be doing some more longer stuff like this 🙏
Really impressive. Didn't know about this. There is an ancient site from Gupta period near Gwalior. But the place is not known to many. A visit to that place would be interesting.
Karl, Another of your Absolutely Amazing Finds !! Thank you and your guide. All the best from the U.S.A.
Channel name is very fitting today.
😂
I'm loving the historic episodes, I also like the one about meteor crater! Great Job!
Wow! I remember this place from my text books.
We gotta go together to Madhya Pradesh sometime babe. It's amazing.
Hi Manisha, love from the UK 🇬🇧 to you and all your family. Hope you are able to spend time on your village while Karl is on his travels bring us all these amazing places to our screens. Thank you for lending him to us. May you always stay blessed, you are an inspiration to many women and although I am white British, I show you to my Indian friends and some say they have gained so much more strength in their minds since hearing you talk and seeing what you have been through, they all would say Hi too, I know they would. So this is from them also.
Hey! Thank you so much for the kind words, really appreciate it❤❤
@@KarlRockDefinitely!
That's before any religion was even invented.
Happy to see someone represent our early people.
Animism is the oldest religion in general. This applies for most of homo sapien history.
@@N0Xa880iUL who cares for religions, thousands have come and gone and evolved.
Vedic religion and Modern Hinduism are two examples that have so much difference therein.
@@abc_cba because modern hinduism is based on puranas and vedic period was based on vedas.
India's Morgan Freeman, I can listen to him for hours! he can narrate a simple trip to a convenience store and make it sounds like a NatGeo trip.
Please come to india❤
😂😂
Incredible India! Extremely interesting old rock formations that were shaped by water and risen 2000’ above sea level. These rock formations accommodated ancient Hunter gatherers with rock cave shelters. These ancients left their pictographs. Beautiful and awesome tour of the caves of the oldest original peoples of India. Thanks!
WoW l have been to Madhya Pradesh many times but never knew of this superb place. The guide was very knowledgeable with his 20 years of working on the site.
I have experienced the same tour of Bhimbetka with Vimal! He is really good and has the absolute knowledge of the place
This is one of the best site karl has taken us.
Karl explore the original beauty of india..🙏thanks sir 🙏love from mumbai.
Oh my my, it has been mind-blowing. I bet this archaeological site isn't familiar to international tourists. That guide's knowledge, and passion were impressive.
More indian history videos please 🙏!!!
Thanks Karl! Thank you for taking us to these historical places in India. I am an Indian living in the US and dream to visit all these places one day ❤️ you are amazing…btw loved the guide as well!
EARTH IS GEORGOUS IM A AMERICAN WHO IS AGNOSTIC BUT HAS BELIEVED SIMILAR TO THE SAME LIFE CYCLE AS HINDU DOES WE ARE ALL ONE BROTHER N SISTERS WHO LIVED THOUSANDS OF LIVES AND WILL LIVE MANY MORE
I’ve heard and read about this place but had no idea how incredibly fascinating it was. Thanks for this remarkable video!
32:00 I believe this is what the Egyptians called the "Apex Bull". It was giant in size.
It's basically a bovine species which is also called Mithun or Nilgai. It's huge and has a massive muscle profile. In Hindi it's called Gour. It's feet are white and look as if it's wearing a permanent set of white football socks!
@@AdMBandLeader thanks for the info.
I have NEVER seen rock formations like that. looked almost carved. Nature is amazing!!!
Fabulous. Nice guide too. The paths around the shelters are so well made and I love how there are trees in the middle of the path, they have not been cut down.
This is an amazing vlog Karl. So informative. I’m definitely going to go there when i go back to india.
Wel come to 🇮🇳 Bharat (India) Delhidebb🙏🙏👏👏
What a beautiful place. Nature, rock formations, prehistoric drawings from 30K years ago, so beautiful. This guide is great, he probably just needs to do more walking to lose excess weight, and get healthy for his own sake, he is panting, good to see a doctor soon, best of luck to him. Thanks for showing.
The comment regarding the guide panting, he is walking and talking a lot, it’s probably quite warm aswell.
If you are indigenous ie Black there is no such thing as prehistoric, since world history is Black history. Shalawam
Amazing Karl. The knowledge, passion and appreciation of this humble staff member is the greatest. Won’t get this in Australia without paying through your teeth. Please Karl send me this guides details. I want to donate a sum for him…he deserves it. Thank you
Wow this place is totally mind-blowing!
Great guide ,very Fluent n respectful ,methodical ,
knowledgeable & comprehensive
What an interesting find! I never knew about this
We need more guides like Vimal sir. He has good knowledge and is giving time at each site sharing every minute detail to make Karl more memorable
Amazing something that was underwater is now 200ft above sea-level .. great video
Please come to india❤
I love the initiative the Govt of Bharat has taken to amend textbooks with updated knowledge as reference, to boot. Thanks Karl, keep on Rockin it. [edit] This is one of your most meaningfully influential episodes. Again, thank you in deep appreciation.
Thanks. Very good vlog
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ll make a few more long videos like this.
India is such a big place, constantly learning more about the landscape, and culture of my ancestors, thanks !
He has such a lovely voice. I love this educational information he is sharing. 🙏🏼 जय हिन्द
I am a student i read many times about bhimbaitka.....but first time i see this amazing place through your video...and what a amazing guide he is👏 Thankyou Karl❤
Incredible india the hidden gem Bharat 🎉🎉🎉
finally someone exploring my state madhya pradesh ♥
Karl you are so lucky, thanks for sharing these experiences.
Karl, thank you for your professional and SLOW presentations! Its a real reprieve from the seemingly typical YT content that races to the end without a moment to breathe and enjoy the TIME. Your videos, whether shorts or long contain an incredible wealth of visual and audible context that flows beautifully without needless editing out TIME to enjoy it all in context!. You’ve definitely captivated this viewer. I’m SLOWLY walking through each of your productions with great interest.
Retired in Oregon…
You scored the best guide for information. Fantastic
Resembles the rocks in central Australia with the cave paintings so interesting.
Nature is amazing.
I hope this is recorded in books it's so interested
You should visit gwalior, it's famous for its fort and architecture
India is a very huge and diverse country in the world 🌏
28 state + 8 union territory = India (36) 🇮🇳
And many more indian island like Andaman Nikobar, Lakhyadeep etc..🙏🙏
41:30 This is how we dance together even now days....by the way I am from Tribal community of Madhya Pradesh. ❤ Proud to see our roots.🇮🇳
Hey man, great, welcome back to India. Good to see you back in Bharat, with all visa and other issues resolved.
Thank you Karl because of you I get to see my mother land 🙏
Yes I agree your guide is awesome!
Definitely your best video I have seen, to date!!! Dhanyavad, brother bhai!!!!
Loved the guide! 🙌
For the people who think that his English is stupid, try learning hindi.
More power to him and to you Karl.
Thank you Karl for visiting and uploading video of this amazing place.😊
Thank you for the tour, Karl!! ❤
This video was great - thanks from New Zealand!
Just amazing. Thank you for the tour Karl.
What a fantastic video. Loved listening to the history from the amazing guide
This is truly mesmerising,love that you showed it to us Indians because I didnt knew about it.
The guide Vimal is brilliant , well versed,he should be teaching history with passion
Beautiful scenery and information. Vimal’s voice is so therapeutic to listen to. Really enjoyed the background music.
Fascinating! Those rock paintings are similar in Australia as well as Americas Southwest. Ancient graffiti! There is a great range of when those were done. Swords would be well into the Iron Age.
the guide deserves a praise 👏👏
Best channel ever. Best pod cast ever. Please give oscar award for this special interview for the GUIDE.
Even as an india I had no idea about the existence of this place
Thanx Karl for showing this amazing pre historic cave city .
Loved it 👍
Spot on guide who is sharp, intellectual and super kool.
Beautiful tour ❤.
Please come to india❤
@@TaufeekAhmad-bt2ej I would love to.
@@TaufeekAhmad-bt2ej bro please stop 😂
@@MARIO-ok3mnbro is giving dawah to everyone 🫣
Thank you Karl for taking pains to share our source of origin. Bhimbhetka _ a life transforming experience. Felt as if I was there before...cave shelters triggered insightful thinking....paintings mirrored love, appreciation, unity, harmony, beauty, innovative & progressive thinking of man...hand imprints on stone walls instilled in my heart the essence of eternity lies in this present moment.
Great video indeed!! Thank you for sharing!
Excellent video! Never knew about this location. Thank you so much!
Check out the cave art in Aravalli mountain area in Haryana (close to home). They are a recent discovery possibly from the Upper paleolithic age. They are yet to be dated, but may be any time from 10,000 to 40,000 years old. Nice to see India is actively working on its ancient history after so many years of neglect. I am sure there will be many new discoveries soon
Beautiful place, Thanks for the video Karl..all the best !
beautiful video , so calming and nice , thank you Karl bhai
Superb! Perfect historical site video. Thank you for showing, Bhimbetka.
If they develop this place many foreign people will come here. Huge potential.
And Indians too. We have to understand about our country as well.
this was a great video. I wish I could travel. I would have loved to see this place. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Impressive video. Thanks for sharing amazing Bhimbetika.
Best documentary I've seen in a long time! Thank you for illuminating my day. 🙏
Stunning! Totally blown away! Thanx for this wonderful history lesson.
Big shoutout to our amazing tour guide Vimal for explaining everything so well! You really made the tour extra special with all the detailed info. Thank you 💐🥰🙏
