Is it TIME TO REWRITE HISTORY?
Where do you think it all began? In the recent few years people have come to believe that our understanding about our history has been wrong. Lets go with the slightest possibility it might be true. Just telling you to keep an open mind. World wide people have been finding pre historic ruins around the world leading to huge controversies. might occur as there are many archaeological evidences proving that many ancient advanced civilizations have existed before our time and what we know about our history is wrong.
I have visited a thousand temples maybe more, but this one was unique not talking in any spiritual way but the history of it and who it was built for shocked me the most.
What you see here is an old shrine, 15kms from old Manali beside the village of dangri. This shrine was built by Raja Bahadur Singh in the year 1553 A.D. which is inscribed on the right side wall of the shrine. The surprising thing is that this place preserves a small underground cave which is much much older. It is said that Hidimbae who was a half demon, meditated in this cave for years while her brother hidimba guarded the cave. She prayed to the lords for years in this cave, asking for a worthy man to marry her. In this cave you see carvings of Lord Shiva, Parvathi and Ganesha. Which are way too old.
Her wish came true when she met Bhima who was one of the greatest warriors of Kurukshetra which is described to be the greatest battle of all in the Mahabharata. The one who gets to defeat her brother Hidimba gets to marry her. After a mighty battle between Bhima and Hidimba, Bhima kills Hidimba and marries her half demonic sister Hidimbae.
The general idea about mythology these days is that its "fictional". but Few of them believe that there is a slight truth to it. but anyone with some knowledge about how these things and has a common sense will know that people wouldn't spend hundreds or thousands of days building something amazing just coz they were bored. If you have been following my posts you will know that i cannot believe in things with solid proof. There is more than just a small fragment of truth left to be uncovered.
The truth is what i am here for, it is simply what i live for.
The exact date cannot be determined by carbon dating process as it requires organic material for testing hence the process cannot be used on rocks. But the approx age or the time period with some calculations can be determined by inspecting the carved figures inside the caves. We all know that rocks deteriorate over time due to natural events likes rains .Based on the corrosion of the idols and calculations based on depth of top soil I can say its at-least 12,000 years old. Which makes me think about how old the Hindu religion is. All the idols carved on the inner walls of the cave belong to Hindu gods.
The carving of Shiva, Parvathi and Ganesha on the inner wall of cave are now being protected and preserved by this shrine since just 400 years.
One is not allowed to touch the carvings for these obvious reasons but you get to see them and inspect it without taking any photos.
1000's of people come here each day without even knowing what it signifies and I am more than glad to reveal all of these to the normal crowd so they can look at it for what it was build for.
This is how the shrine looks if it was possible to have an x-ray vision. (Don't mind my bad drawing skills)
There have been a lot of new discoveries that fills in our voids on the timeline. If you want me to write about those let me know. If you like what you see please give an upvote and resteem this post.
Also dont forget to comment below, let me know what you think. Are there any such pre historic places that you know of? I surely will take a trip there and inspect what i find. Gives me a better understanding of our true history which will point me towards the real truth about life.
We must know our roots as they are. Knowing our history is not a step back but a step forward.
I am a photographer, I blog about my travel/art life alongside what you see. If you pay a lil visit visit to my blog
