hey guys in a remote Village called
0:03
modra there is a very strange temple
0:07
built with Incredible geometric
0:12
this is the main structure and I'm
0:14
putting a compass here in the entrance
0:18
exactly on this middle line between the
0:23
look at this alignment this is insane it
0:27
is perfectly aligned to the East-West
0:30
Direction without even a decimal error
0:34
I don't understand how such Perfection
0:37
was possible in ancient times this
0:41
Temple is said to be at least one
0:44
thousand years old in this Temple there
0:47
are three main structures I have already
0:49
shown you the alignment of the main
0:52
Shrine now let's check the second
0:55
structure it is interesting because the
0:58
ancient Boulders have marked specific
1:02
notches in the entrances and when we put
1:06
the phone on top of them the alignment
1:10
is just perfect there is no error this
1:15
is zero degrees north Perfect North I
1:19
have checked the entire Temple structure
1:22
everywhere and it is Flawless with no
1:26
errors this kind of precision can be
1:28
achieved only with advanced technology
1:32
this may seem easy if you don't
1:35
understand the history of the compass
1:37
today we are able to see the alignment
1:40
with perfection to a decimal digit
1:44
because we use electronic devices but
1:48
let's go back a thousand years ago
1:51
archaeologists and historians say that
1:53
we used primitive compasses using
1:56
lodestones or crude magnetized needles
2:01
floating in liquid how could the ancient
2:05
Builders achieve this level of precision
2:11
0.01 percent of error but there is an
2:16
even bigger question it's not how they
2:19
did it it is why why was such a precise
2:26
why should the main chamber point
2:32
look at this picture taken on 21st March
2:36
last year this was taken early morning
2:39
during Sunrise the very first race of
2:42
the sun passed through the center of
2:45
these entrances and will Charmaine into
2:50
this phenomenon happens only twice a
2:53
year on March 21st and September 23rd
2:59
why what is special about those two days
3:03
those are called the equinoxes those are
3:07
the only two days where days and nights
3:11
are exactly equal and those are the days
3:13
where the sun rises exactly due east
3:19
this may be news to you because you may
3:21
have previously thought that the sun
3:24
always rises in the East but that's not
3:27
true it keeps Rising left and right but
3:31
only on these two days it will rise at
3:38
this is why perfect alignment to East is
3:43
also called equinoxidil East
3:46
now what was originally inside the main
3:50
an idol of the sun god Surya a giant
3:55
statue made of pure gold and studded
3:58
with diamonds one stood inside the main
4:01
chamber so when the first rays of the
4:05
sun fell on the idol of Surya the entire
4:10
chamber would have dazzled like a light
4:13
show but there's another unbelievable
4:17
mystery that baffles the locals here if
4:21
you visit this temple on 21st June at
4:24
noon you will be shocked because the
4:27
Temple's Shadow will not fall on the
4:31
yes the temple will not cast its shadow
4:36
this may sound like pseudoscience but if
4:39
you're standing in this temple on this
4:42
particular day even your own shadow will
4:45
not fall on the ground
4:47
I know some of you may not believe me
4:49
but we are talking about a pure
4:53
scientific phenomenon that does not
4:56
happen in any other Ancient Temple it
4:59
happens only in the Modera Sun Temple
5:04
how is that possible because this Temple
5:07
was intentionally built on a specific
5:10
line called the Tropic of Cancer
5:14
now what is the Tropic of Cancer the
5:17
Tropic of Cancer is the northernmost
5:19
line or latitude on Earth at which the
5:24
sun may appear directly overhead
5:27
Beyond this line the sun will never
5:30
appear directly overhead or at its
5:35
and if you're standing on this line of
5:38
Tropic of Cancer on 21st June Your
5:42
Shadow will not fall on Earth
5:46
now what is special about 21st June
5:50
it is the longest day of the year called
5:53
the summer solstice and the Sun goes
5:56
directly overhead and no Shadow will be
6:01
this is why the moderate Temple's Shadow
6:04
is not cast on the ground on this day
6:09
I hope you're understanding the Marvel
6:11
behind this ancient architecture okay
6:14
the builders have covered both the
6:18
important solar events the equinox and
6:22
the solstice completely opposite events
6:25
but both of them were calculated and
6:28
celebrated in this Temple and you may be
6:32
surprised that ancient Boulders marked
6:35
the Tropic of Cancer accurately and took
6:38
pleasure in observing that the Temple's
6:41
Shadow did not fall on the ground here
6:44
but believe it or not we modern people
6:47
do the same all over the world there are
6:51
markers and plots marking the Tropic of
6:54
Cancer you can see this sign board and
6:57
right next to it you can see these two
7:01
in between them is the exact line of
7:05
Tropic of Cancer if you come here and
7:08
stand between these two lines on 21st
7:12
June at noon time there will be no
7:17
now let me show you what ancient
7:20
Builders did in the Modera Temple this
7:24
is the outer wall of the main chamber
7:26
see these two notches in between these
7:30
two notches is the exact line of the
7:34
Tropic of Cancer and ancient Hindus have
7:37
marked it just like how we Mark the line
7:43
why was such Precision necessary
7:46
because on the other side of the wall
7:49
inside the main chamber the statue of
7:52
the sun was placed precisely on this
7:58
today we can do all sorts of precision
8:01
work with electronic devices but it's
8:05
just baffling how ancient Builders
8:07
accurately calculated all these
8:12
and the interesting part about all these
8:16
markers whether they're ancient markers
8:22
is that they're all temporary
8:24
they're perfect when they're put in
8:28
but time keeps changing the Tropic of
8:32
so the marker will be accurate now
8:36
but the next year the Tropic of Cancer
8:38
will move a little bit
8:41
this is because of the axial tilt of the
8:43
planet there is a Highway in Mexico the
8:47
Federal Highway 83 that actually shows
8:50
how Tropic of Cancer keeps moving every
8:54
year and on top of this shift every year
8:57
the Earth wobbles back and forth as well
9:01
so today some wise guy will Google
9:04
Modera Sun Temple's location and say no
9:07
this Temple is not accurately placed on
9:11
the Tropic of Cancer but the temple was
9:14
built accurately on the Tropic of Cancer
9:17
but after so many centuries the Tropic
9:20
of Cancer has moved considerably
9:23
in fact if we calculate when the Tropic
9:27
of Cancer accurately fell on the
9:30
Temple's latitude we can find out the
9:34
exact year of the Temple's Construction
9:37
and it may be much older than
9:41
archaeological estimates
9:43
now what is the purpose of the Modera
9:46
Sun Temple why was it built maybe you'll
9:50
say Praveen why are you asking such a
9:53
weird question why are temples churches
9:59
for worshiping God obviously
10:02
this is true today but ancient Indian
10:05
temples were also built for scientific
10:08
reasons think about these markers of a
10:12
Tropic of Cancer around the world are
10:15
they religious markers no why are they
10:19
placed why are we marking the Tropic of
10:23
Cancer around the world
10:25
there is a scientific reason behind
10:28
these markers is it possible that the
10:32
mother Temple was also built as a marker
10:36
for a scientific reason why else would
10:40
they place a temple exactly on the
10:42
Tropic of Cancer and dedicate it to the
10:48
this ancient marker is telling us this
10:52
to the north of this Temple the sun will
10:56
never appear directly over your head so
10:59
this Temple is marking the northernmost
11:02
point where the sun can appear in the
11:07
and you may think this is nonsense who
11:09
cares if the sun does not appear over
11:14
no it changes everything below this line
11:18
is the tropical region it's a lovely
11:21
place to live not only for humans the
11:24
plants the animals Everything Changes
11:27
how about this wine it's not so nice
11:31
if you live in the United States what is
11:34
the one place you want to go to enjoy
11:38
the weather Hawaii right why because the
11:42
entire U.S is to the north of the Tropic
11:46
of Cancer except Hawaii
11:49
which is below the Line This is why you
11:52
go to Puerto Rico the Caribbean all of
11:55
them are tropical places with great
11:57
weather Ada getting the good graces of
12:01
Lord Surya why because the Sun
12:06
can greet you overhead if you're about
12:10
this line the sunlight will always hit
12:13
you at a low angle so you never get
12:18
great sunlight because the solar energy
12:21
is spread out with less intensity
12:25
but in India this gets more interesting
12:29
that Tropic of Cancer divides India
12:32
almost exactly into two halves about
12:36
this is the north India which is not
12:42
this half of India never gets a sun
12:47
and below this line is the South India
12:50
which is a tropical region filled with
12:53
tropical plants animals and different
12:58
but there's a big mystery waiting for
13:02
you in the main chamber of this Temple
13:05
let me show you what's inside it is
13:08
locked and you have to see through this
13:11
today it is completely empty but look
13:15
below you will see a giant pet it is
13:19
hard to see and I'm trying to shine some
13:21
light into this but it's very deep it's
13:24
said to be 22 feet deep why is there
13:28
such a large underground structure
13:30
inside the main chamber
13:33
what was originally inside at the ground
13:36
level there was a giant statue of the
13:39
sun god Surya at least seven feet tall
13:44
said to be made of gold and studded with
13:48
but if it was just a regular statue why
13:52
did they create a 22 feet pet Going
13:58
According to some this was not a regular
14:02
statue but it was rotating in mid-air
14:06
this is a very intriguing theory that
14:09
ancient Boulders made a statue that was
14:12
not only floating in mid-air but also
14:15
magically rotating in mid-air
14:19
but was it magic or were they using
14:25
today we can easily buy these magnetic
14:28
levitation devices that help objects
14:31
rotate in mid-air you can put an object
14:35
like this globe between two magnets and
14:38
the object starts spinning in mid-air
14:42
now we can understand why this
14:45
underground pit would have been
14:47
necessary it would have held some type
14:50
of a giant magnetic device to help the
14:54
statue rotate in mid-air but why take
14:59
such pains to make the Sun rotate in
15:03
ancient India was the place where
15:06
science and spirituality Blended
15:09
together the sun seems to be floating in
15:14
but why is the Sun God always shown
15:17
riding a chariot with his seven horses
15:21
where is he going this doesn't make any
15:25
sense right we know the Earth moves
15:28
around the Sun but ancient people did
15:31
not know this and thought that the sun
15:33
moves around the earth that's why they
15:36
put him on a chariot to show its
15:40
no the sun is actually moving at a very
15:45
very high speed it is moving at about
15:48
500 000 miles an hour
15:51
the moon moves around the earth the
15:54
Earth moves around the Sun but most
15:57
people don't know that the Sun Also
16:00
moves around the Milky Way galaxy
16:05
but why was the Sun God made to rotate
16:08
right does the Sun rotate
16:10
the sun does rotate on its own axis this
16:14
can be observed when you look at the
16:17
motion of the sunspots on its surface
16:21
ancient Boulders not only observe that
16:24
it rotates they even calculated its
16:28
the entire Temple is full of symbols
16:31
about the science of the Sun
16:33
there are 28 steps in this tank
16:37
symbolizing the 28 days taken by the sun
16:42
to rotate itself there are a total of
16:46
108 small shrines in the stack
16:50
and have made an enter video about the
16:55
and its connection to the sun you can
16:58
watch it on my channel
16:59
these symbolism in this Temple is pure
17:03
Insanity there are a total of 52 pillars
17:07
in this Hall symbolizing 52 weeks of the
17:11
there are 12 Sun Gods carved outside
17:15
symbolizing 12 months of the year there
17:19
are a total of 365 elephants carved to
17:23
represent 365 days of the year Lord
17:27
Surya is shown with two wives Sandia
17:31
meaning light and Chaya meaning shadow
17:35
ancient Builders painted the seven
17:38
horses of the Sun in seven colors of the
17:42
centuries before Newton discovered that
17:46
white light was made of seven different
17:50
in fact when you start thinking you will
17:53
be staggered that none of this life is
17:56
possible without the Sun the plants the
17:59
animals the seasons the days and nights
18:02
the hours the minute everything depends
18:09
we could probably live without any other
18:13
but the Sun God is absolutely essential
18:20
and I hope this Temple at mudra has
18:23
taught you some valuable information
18:28
I am Robin Mohan thanks a lot for
18:29
watching don't forget to subscribe I'll
18:32
talk to you soon bye
