Is this bicycle carving, as Mohan Praveen hypothesized in a tweet, evidence of an 'advanced ancient technology?'
A 2,000-year-old carving of a figure riding a modern bicycle was found inside an ancient temple in India.On 21 July 2018, a video purportedly showing a 2000-year-old carving of a man riding bicycle found inside of an ancient temple in India was posted to Facebook by Mohan Praveen, the host of the"Phenomenal Travel Videos" YouTube show.
Praveen argued in a longer version of this video posted to his YouTube channel that this extraordinary finding was puzzling because the modern bicycle wasn't invented until the 19th century, but the temple in which a carving of a bicycle was found, the Panchavarnaswamy Temple, was built over 2,000 years ago.of an"advanced ancient technology?"
Praveen claimed that historians were attempting to discredit this miraculous finding by arguing that this"ancient" temple was actually constructed only a hundred years ago. After an unnecessarily long explanation of what the carving depicts , Praveen asserted that the temple undeniably dates to at least the 7th century, long before the development of the modern bicycle:Some have argued that this temple was entirely built just a hundred years ago.
The experts that we've encountered, however, haven't argued that this"temple was entirely built just a hundred years ago." Rather, they've argued that specific portions of this 2,000-year-old temple were renovated about a hundred years ago, and that a sculptor working on those relatively modern renovations added the carving of a by-now-common bicycle at that time.
