This place just looks totally amazing to me. Meenakshi Amman Temple is an impressive Hindu temple that dates back to the sixth century, though most of the present structure was built a thousand years later. Located on the Vaigai River , it is perhaps the most important temple in Madurai, itself a 2,500-year-old city. Intricate carvings about inside and out; the temple has a total of 14 towers, each dedicated to a god or person. Some 33,000 sculptures as well as rich paintings can be found in the temple complex.
this looks absolutely breathtaking
it is, happy it's preserved
what do you mean?
we are a species with amnesia
?
things get destroyed over time, sometimes purposefully to pretend our were ancestors were dumber than they actually were
