Where do you think it all began? Who says our history is right?

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)

Manali! I used to run a hotel there till December and love going back again and again. Hadimba is the BIGGEST attraction among temples there (second is the Vashisht one).
Has become a bit touristy but the forest area around the temple is still preserved :)

Wow, steemit is making my world small haha nice! Where was this hotel of yours? We stayed for a day at the new manali market

It's called Manali Comforts. 150 meters away from mall. In the one way lane next to Yak hotel. Sigh, I miss it

Looks like a chill place!! drop me a text , we shall meet at Manali if you still live there :)

Coming on 22nd. Drop me a whatsapp on 9654244102 brother

Nice post.... history brings back memories

Yup it definitely does, roots are more important than the leaves :)

I have lived in both Old Manali and Dhoongri. And I have passed by that temple hundreds of times. That was many years ago when it was a very magical place to visit. It's been looking a little touristy lately :-)

Hey how long did you stay there for?! That must be beautiful :') now new Manali is filled with stores! You must visit Kasol and Gargi which around Parvathi valley. They have the most beautiful vibes.

I was there for almost 6 years. I have been to Manikaran many times, swimming from temple to temple in the hot spring waters. I have even gone over the mountains from Nagar to Malana to Manikaran.

wow man! Who are you? You seem to have lived an amazing life. You must have great stories to tell ?! :') Malana is now , unfortunately is closed for tourists. But i am play i got to experience Kasol, Gargi, Manikaran and Pulga :')

You calling me a tourist? Them's fighting words LOL

Not in particular, you are no tourist if you have lived their for 6 years haha xD I mean anyone from outside malana village which includes me , They wont let us in. Apparently the "deity" of malana did not want outsiders (again, everyone except those villagers) to step foot in her land. Quiet weird isn't it?

You need nothing from me to part ways. Stay off my posts and comments, especially with your insults, and you will not experience me ever again most likely. Start building your reputation back up by interacting with people you admire, by making your own posts with interesting or informative content , or by respectful dialogue with people with whom you disagree.

Hijacking @awakeningartist's post with a comment about me having nothing to do with the post, rather than to him or about his post, is not the way to go in steemit. It comes with consequences.

there is no record of any human civilisation before about 4000 bc, anywhere on earth. makes you wonder if the bible is about right..

Haha makes me wanna answer it with my assumptions but i dont make predictions outside my head and bring on contraventions upon shoulder. But i strongly, do believe, that some part of it is true. Maybe more than just come part of it. He might have been a messenger of god, (one among the other messengers- signifying other gods we hear about). Some of my research ends up with a conclusion " god were just aliens with a higher knowledge, and they once lived among us" Its just bizarre, but then more pieces of the puzzle to be found in order to jump to a conclusion.

i started with researching cross-species evolution, which starts to fall down after only a few hours of looking. we have been lied to about everything, but belief and trust in authority/ stockholm syndrome/ fear stops most people from waking up to reality. hope you take the journey, peace.

amazing.
the article & its pattern is ripping.
the picture you used is wonderful.

I am glad you noticed all of them fella, thank you :)

have a nice trip in India.

I am from here :) What made you think otherwise? haha

I have been to old Manali and this temple. Interesting post. I can't comment on how old Indian religions are, but I feel they are ancient.

Believe the voice my friend. You don't hear them without a reason! Make sure you visit again and see it from this perspective you will love what you will find :) Also camp under the stars if you get the chance :)

This is very interesting! I can't believe that it goes back that long, cause it looks like it was just build! I'm glad that people take care of it and make sure that it is still well preserved!
I love to go to a place where there's something which was constructed way before our time - it always fascinates me how they were capable of building it with not more than their bare hands, but still you can see many similarities to todays architecture! :)

I wasn't looking for it to be honest specifically but i knew that there was something fishy. I just went there to visit like a regular tourist and see whats the fuss was all about. Thought it was an ordinary temple, but hmm!
Apparently life has its way of shocking me. I think there is a lot to learn from each and everything we see. We mostly ignore the possibility of it judging it based on probability . What was improbable once is now a great invention,right? :)

Thank you very much, glad you liked the post! If you like what you see make you you follow for more :)
