You can take Angkor Wat, which is the largest Hindu temple in the world, and it is completely surrounded by water on all four sides. You can take the great Brihadeeswara temple in Thanjavur, and you can see a water body around it too. Many ancient temples are designed this way, but there should be a serious question popping in your mind right now. A moat, by definition is a defense mechanism, it protects people inside it. If you look at Wikipedia, it says “historically to provide a structure with a preliminary line of defense.” Moats are typically used in castles, to prevent enemies from attacking them easily. But these are temples, these are places of worship, not castles or forts, kings and even common people don’t live inside these temples, so why were the moats necessary? Archeologists and historians have cracked this a long time ago. Let us look under the Plan section of Angkor Wat in Wikipedia: The temple is a representation of Mount Meru, the home of the gods according to Hindu mythology: the central quincunx of towers symbolises the five peaks of the mountain, and the walls and moat symbolize the surrounding mountain ranges and ocean. So, it clearly states that the moat was just a representation of the sea surrounding the mythical mountain called Meru. So, you can see that ancient Hindus were making these elaborate structures, in fact mile long structures just to mimic an imaginary mountain called Meru. And if you are a Hindu, you know that lord Vishnu will always sleep in the middle of the sea of milk. So, the moat must have been an absolute requirement. There is even a huge carving of the churning of the sea of milk in Angkor wat Temple. You see this is how the ancient builders really thought. They had deep superstitious beliefs and to make these myths into a reality, they went through great pains, to make their fantasies real. This is why they built this massive moat to ensure that Lord Vishnu can reside in the sea of milk. If you believed this theory, you belong to the mainstream people. These kinds of theories are repeatedly mentioned in history books, Wikipedia, and documentaries, it sounds almost realistic, but in reality, it actually demeans the ancient builders. Why? Because it assumes that ancient builders did not build this gigantic moat for a scientific reason. The fact is, whoever built the largest religious structure in the world, would have been anything but unscientific. #AncientTechnology #PraveenMohan #Hinduism
