Today I will tell you about another mysterious artifact from ancient India, the processing of which does not fit into modern history.
This artifact (lingam) is located in the Mahabalipuram temple and is considered one of the oldest in India (if not the most ancient).
The artifact is a basalt pillar with 16 smooth, perfect edges. Initially, its height was 4 meters, but to our time only the base with a height of one and a half meters has survived.
Do you think it is possible to carve a monolithic pillar from basalt using primitive tools? I emphasize once again that all the edges are perfectly smooth.
Even in our time, it will not be easy to create such a pillar.
The main problem is creating precise angles between the pillar faces. Even the slightest error can lead to the failure of the entire work.
Just think about it, to make such a pillar, you need to cut corners with an accuracy of 0.5 °. If people in India were capable of this about 1300 years ago, then it will be a real sensation.

And now for the most interesting part of the article. Someone may not believe me and consider me a deceiver, so now there will be an ironclad fact.
An Indian researcher named Pravin Mohan went to the site and made the necessary measurements. If the artifact was made by people, then there must be errors. However, they are not !!!
Measurements of all faces showed 157.5 °.
In addition to the degrees, the width of all the edges perfectly matched the pillar. This precision is only found in machinery. Man is not able to create such a thing, and even with the help of primitive tools.
About the creators
Let's talk about the real creators of the artifact. The facts directly say that only a highly developed civilization with technologies that are not inferior to ours could have made it. These are not my fantasies, this is a direct logical conclusion from the available facts!
What kind of civilization possessed high technologies in ancient times? When did it exist and why did it build such structures? Where did her technology go? All these moments remain mysteries.
