And these are caves cut into big granite outcroppings that are just massive, perfect on the inside.

It's mirror-finished granite within –

like a thousandth of an inch flatness on the insides.

Um, and they have these crazy shapes to some of them have these circles, but then have a whole other room in the back that's circular.

And he, that's an unfinished one.

That's a, that's like a doorway.

A lot of that, the decoration there, that's probably later.

Again, it's the writing came later.

The original doorway is probably that one.

So the elephants over the top, that's later.

Yeah, for sure.

There's an attribution of these.

They were supposedly owned by a particular king who gave them to a religious cult to get out of the rain.

But it doesn't say anything about him making them.

Oh, wow.

If you go to the insides is what's impressive in here.

It's the finishing of the granite.

They're mirror-finished.

And it turns out with the scans, what they found is that also like almost perfectly symmetrical, like they're not straight.

They tilt in at like a degree and a half exactly on both sides.
