Description
The Mysteries of Asia three-part video series was originally produced for the
Learning Channel.
During this segment, historians and others examine temples built in
India more than 1,000 years ago. They remain quite intriguing, though
today’s tourists rarely visit them. Records reveal that trained
elephants had to drag millions of stone blocks to help erect these
structures.
The program notes that due to the
temples’ size, the U.S. Senate, Versailles, the Houses of Parliament,
and St. Paul’s Basilica in Rome could all fit within a single one of
them.
Michael Bell narrates as footage and
animated maps are used to help viewers learn more about what these
ancient structures look like and why they were built.
