Kailasa Temple

Why Ancient Inquiry uses this citation here

UNESCO baseline for Ellora's 34 Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain monuments, broad sixth-to-tenth-century chronology, basalt setting, and World Heritage significance; it supports the real site, not lost-technology claims.

What this usage does not establish

Bibliographic verification does not by itself establish that the full text was read.

Limiting / critical citation for public claim

The listed heritage and art-historical sources place Kailasa within historical Indian rock-cut architecture and do not support lost-technology or non-human-builder claims.

The evidence does not automatically support broader causal, technological, transmission, or literalizing claims beyond the cited record.
