- Pakistan today is known to its visitors as the land of great historical and archaeological splendours. The most spectacular amongst these are the gems of historical monuments raised during the Muslim period, Unlike their predecessors (the Hindus), whose architecture was confined almost entirely to temples, Muslim architecture represents a great deal of variety. The centre of Muslim culture, of course, is the mosque, and this exerted a powerful influence by introducing a new element of direction towards Ka¹bah (Mecca) the dimension which affected the entire Muslim architecture and town planning in the South Asia subcontinent. The other class of buildings of a religious nature were tombs. In contrast to the religious buildings, the secular architecture is of miscellaneous order. Amongst these may be included monuments of public and civic importance such as houses, minarets or towers, parks, gardens, etc., besides the large imperial schemes of palace-forts and even entire cities like Bambhore and Mansura. \n---------------

NASA took a photo of the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka that shows a series of shoals lying in the water between two points of land.  It the shoals were above water, they would connect the two points of land and form a bridge between India and Sri Lanka.\n\nSome have claimed that this is the bridge that Rama commanded to be built in the Hindu epic Ramayana.  A few archaeologists claim to have found evidence suggesting that the bridge is man-made.\n\nNASA has distanced itself from such claims with the following quote:\n\n"The images [...] may be ours, but their interpretation is certainly not ours. [...] Remote sensing images or photographs from orbit cannot provide direct information about the origin or age of a chain of islands, and certainly cannot determine whether humans were involved in producing any of the patterns seen."

This marvel sculptured in rock is located at Mamallapuram, 58 km from Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu in Southern India. Approximately 96ft long and 43 ft high, carved in mid seventh century on the face of two enormous adjacent boulders, this is one of the biggest open-air rock sculptures in the world.  \n\nMamallapuram, once the ancient port of the Pallava dynasty who traded with countries of the far east, is now world famous for the splendid 7th and 8th century art and architecture of the period. Its monolithic rock sculptures, carvings, shore temple and wonderful beaches make the place a beautiful tourist destination.   \n\nThese bas-reliefs, carved in the 7th century, are among the largest in the world.   Completely covering two huge boulders 27 meters long and 9 meters high, the reliefs depict the flow of the Ganges down from the Himalaya mountains as described in the Panchatantra.  The story is a flood myth like the tale of Noah, but differs in its cast of characters.  Legend says that King Bhagirath brought down the Ganges from Heaven to purify the souls of his ancestors.  His plan went awry when he realized that the flood would innundate the earth, so he had to undergo a penance to convince Shiva to intervene, who came down to earth and let the flood trickle through his hair, dispersing the waters safely in innumerable streams all over the world.  This strange sight aroused the curiousity of the world's animals, who gathered round the soaking God. \n\nThe cleft in the two rocks is perhaps the most famous part of the mural.  It depicts the descent of Shiva from heaven through the colossal waterfall.  The ruins of a stone water tank above the rocks support this interpretation.  As for the rest of the mural, it depicts Indian village life in the 7th century, with carvings of scenes from daily life.

i hope this helps a bit. \n\nKailashnath Temple is a delightful 8th century shrine, situated at Ellora, near Aurangabad, in Maharashtra. Built by Krishna I of the Rashtrakutas, it stands as a fine specimen of the Rashtrakuta architecture. It is one of the world's largest monolithic structures formed by a free-standing temple flanked by huge elephants, pillars, podiums, a gateway, two-storied halls and the main shrine within - all carved from one solid piece of rock. \n\nThe temple resembles the Chalukya temples at Pattadakkal but is far more refined in its architecture and design. \n\nThe gateway of the temple is double storied. The temple has four parts - the body of the temple, the entrance gate, the Nandi shrine and a group of five shrines surrounding the courtyard. There are many sculptural designs that depict events from the epic Ramayana and Mahabharata. \n\nThe main body of the temple stands on a high plinth which is beautifully carved with sculptures of elephants and lions. The larger halls of the temples are garnished with images of Brahmanical Gods. The tower of the temple, in three diminishing tiers, is crowned by a cupola. \n\nAround the base of the tower there are shrines dedicated to Lord Ganesh, Rudra, Goddess Parvati, Chandra and Saptamatri. \n\nKailashnath Temple is carved out of 85,000 cubic metres of rock. It is credited to the Rashtrakuta king Dantidurga (725-55) and must have taken years to complete.

I would say the construction of the Angkor Wat (Temple/Complex/City) and all the associated technological marvels (e.g. sophisticated irrigational systems, design applications, etc.) that went along with it is one of the better examples.  No one can ever argue with that.  The chess business, on the other hand, I'm just not so sure.   By the way, the food is GREAT too!  :-)\n\nHey, I said Angkor Wat first - that's cheatin'!!!   :-)  :-)
