In this article, we will talk about a strange image of a device that looks like a telescope on the walls of one of the Indian temples.
Ancient Indian temples are truly a storehouse of the unknown, which is difficult to explain from the standpoint of classical history. Various images on the walls of the temples amaze the minds of researchers and enthusiasts. We recently wrote an article about the image of a bicycle, long before its invention in one of the Indian temples. Today, we will tell you about one more find on the wall of another temple.
In the south-west of India, in the state of Karnataka, there is the Hoisaleswara temple, which was dedicated to the god Shiva, and was built in 1120. On the walls of this temple there are many carved figurines that tell different stories from the ancient history of India. On one wall there is a curious depiction of a battle between two groups of troops.
On the left side of the image there is one character who holds in his hands some kind of a telescope in order to examine the enemy troops. However, the telescope was invented only in 1608 by the Dutchman John Lippersgey.
In fact - this image tells about the battle between the devas and the asuras. In the religion of the Hindus, virgins and asuras were the personification of good and evil, black and white. As a rule, the virgins were divine beings, and the asuras were portrayed as demonic creatures. In many religions, there are similar confrontations, although the virgins and asuras are interesting because from the point of view of the devas, the asuras are demonic creatures, and the virgins are divine. From the position of the asuras, the virgins are demonic creatures, and the asuras are divine. Those. each group thinks that they are the divine beings.

The situation is even more confused by the fact that in Zoroastrianism there are similar concepts, only the asuras are called asuras, and it is they who are divine, and the virgins are demonic.
Ancient Indian texts inform us that the Devas and Asuras are beings who came to Earth from the outside, i.e. were some aliens with divine powers and incredible technology.
Thus, looking at the image in the temple, we can observe some of these unexplored technologies. The character with the semblance of a telescope observes the enemy troops, and in front of him there is a certain machine that releases a hail of shells in the direction of the asuras, reminiscent of modern missiles.
The Mahabharata and Ramayana talk about amazing weapons that the deities wielded. These weapons have been described as a shower of arrows of fire, much like modern missile systems.
It is amazing how a small image in an ancient temple can create such a mass of questions and mysteries that give rise to the most incredible hypotheses.
