किराडू राजस्थान के बाड़मेर जिले में  स्थित है। किराडू अपने मंदिरों कि शिल्प कला के लिया विख्यात है। इन मंदिरों का निर्माण 11  वि शताब्दी में हुआ था।  किराडू को राजस्थान का खजुराहों भी कहा जाता है। लेकिन किराडू को खजुराहो जैसी ख्याति नहीं मिल पाई क्योकि यह जगह पिछले 900 सालों से वीरान है और आज भी यहाँ पर दिन में कुछ चहल – पहल रहती है पर शाम होते ही यह जगह वीरान हो जाती है , सूर्यास्त के बाद यहाँ पर कोई भी नहीं रुकता है। राजस्थान के इतिहासकारों के अनुसार किराडू शहर अपने समय में सुख सुविधाओं से युक्त एक विकसित प्रदेश था।  दूसरे प्रदेशों के लोग यहाँ पर व्यपार करने आते थे। लेकिन 12  वि शताब्दी में, जब किराडू पर परमार वंश का राज था , यह शहर वीरान हो जाता है।  आखिर ऐसा क्यों होता है, इसकी कोई पुख्ता जानकारी तो इतिहास में उपलब्ध नहीं है पर इस को लेकर…

You have read lot about Ancient Greece, The Egyptians, The Romans etc from Bible, historians but not about Mayan period because  books, knowledge were ,just like Muslim burned Hindu, Buddhist books in Nalanda, Takshshila ead terrorist religion which you still seen day, players changed as now Saudi and many Middle east Islamic nations pay for terrorism to spread. Why little is known about the pre-Columbus Maya peoples is because Christians , Spaniards finished their existence to spread Christianity. Mel Gibson’s 2006 film ‘Apocalypto’ doesn’t count as an accurate source of Mayan information.

The Mayans formed the first pre-Columbus writing system in the Americas, which is thought by historians to date back to as far as the 3rd century BC. Historians believe the writing used 800 different glyphs which, as you can see, appears somewhat reminiscent of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, but it has no direct parallels.

Spanish  burned all  Mayan-related documents they could get their hands…

A city , modern city during Rome era, Alexandria, where all cultures were living together including Peganism until last Roman emperor made Christianity as state religion and here comes destruction of other cultures.

Pagans, Christians and Jews had coexisted in polytheistic peace in early Ptolemaic Alexandria, until, as often in history, religion raised its ugly head in the fourth century after Emperor Constantine in Rome decided to make Christianity the official one-and-only religion of the empire. After centuries of religious pluralism in Alexandria, “Christians” rose up against the pagan worshipers of Mithras and the Roman deity, Jupiter and the Egyptian deities of Osiris and Apis, killing, spreading mayhem and destroying their places of worship.

The pagans responded in kind until they were subdued. Then the Christians turned on the Jews, attacking private homes and shops in a kind of Kristallnacht and demanding their expulsion from the city.

Religion had again…

Kailash Manasarovar Yatra, Day 6: Peigutso Lake (4,400 m; 14,436 ft) on the Tibetan Plateau

(noticed this in my private posts; edited and posted in Dec 2014)

After lunch and pics of local kids, we headed west along a ravine and climbed a pass. There before us was the serenely beautiful Peigutso Lake. Overcast skies quickly gave way to more dazzling azure skies with bright cumulus clouds and turquoise blue water. The scene hushed us all and we simply stared in silence at the magnificence spread before us.

There at that time, my mind was preoccupied by physical discomfort and I did not appreciate the view as much. It had been a few days without bathroom facilities or showers. It was biting cold and the wind was relentless. In the rarefied air I developed the characteristic high altitude-induced dry cough. While the medication (Diamox) ameliorated some of the…
