The Barabar Caves are located in Bihar, 15 miles north of Gaya in India. Four of the caves are on Barabar Hill which we focus on in this video, whilst another three are located one mile away on Nagarjuni Hill. The remarkable sophistication of the smoothly cut and polished granite has bewildered travellers for centuries. The only inscriptions date from the Maurya Empire (322–185 BCE), some with Ashokan script, but these are carved out roughly near the entrances which has some scholars suggesting the original caves are much older. The quality of the stonework has been compared to Egypt and Peru, yet these are different not only from those, but also any other 'cave temples' in India. 3D scans were carried out and featured in BAM: Builders of the Ancient Mysteries, and more recently in Barabar: The Archaeological Site of the Future, both created by Patrice Pooyard / Jayan Films which can be viewed at https://builders-of-the-ancient-myste.... The precision and geometry is highly advanced and proves there is much we still don't know about the ancient world. In part two we will explore the three cave temples of Nagarjuni Hill.
