castles built by humans for centuries before our time and somehow finding a logical explanation for these structures oldest city said would say is another Wonder of the world that most people still can't believe was built by humans located 200m in the Hilltop one would say is a fortified Architectural Marvel that could have been built long before humans could build houses join us as we take a look at the ancient city built by the gods the lost city said it is not surprising to find archaeological structures that give us a glimpse into the past but the ancient city said could be a place where we look back to a time of archaeological advancement thousands of years in the past the structures in and around the ancient city are so well planned and thought out that experts say they should not have existed at the time the city was built about 1500 years ago back around the city to pools of water and Fountains that go up and down the 180 m high rock in underground paths and reservoirs that were simply too advanced for the time located in central provence of Sri Lanka the city would decide is a built rock fortress on top of a rocky massif approximately 180 m high surrounded by gardens in lush forests one would say it is a most opulent strategic city built as much for luxury as fortress now a historic site with over 1000000 visitors each year the history of this city ancient something straight out of an Indiana Jones movie according to the ancient text of the kula advances to the reverence of the chronicles of sri lanka the city said would say it was built by king kashyapa during his 18 year reign between 477 495 AD the illustrious king selected the site for his new capital after taking the throne and credited for mud building advanced structures in the city some of which s are still standing to this day but before the king city some of which are still standing to this day but before king kashyapa settled in the city build his magnificent Palace he had to take the throne from his father something he did in a more gruesome possible before cachapa's birth his father the king of tu cena ruled the provinces of sri lanka after uniting the war-torn fractions of the island nation kashyapa was the eldest son of the king of tam cena but was not the heir to the throne the king had another monga son Lana who was born to the queen and therefore was the rightful heir to the throne of Sri Lanka and as far as he was born to a mere concubine he had no claim to the throne and should see his little half brother rule over him but he had none of that seeking the throne for himself who is chapa sought to usurp his brother and planned a coup to overthrow his father was still king at the time joining forces with the commander of the king's army hey ligara they successfully carried out palace coup and dethroned the king of tu serra in the year 483 now the king of the Moreno dynasty of sri lanka kashyap believed that his father had great stashes of riches which only turned him into a great reservoir of water that he had built to ensure that his people and their farmland had water for generations to come. brother ruled as king by galleys the rightful heir to the throne feared for his life and fled to India to escape assassination by his brother's hand but swore to return and reclaim his throne anticipating the inevitable attack and retaliation said my brother who is chap changed his Palace it is the capital of the traditional city of anuradapura to the most self-assured summit would say where he started building what would be the most advanced architectural Palace of Sri Lanka at the time throughout his 18-year reign the king either chapa developed into a beautifully fortified oasis filled with whether it be Pleasure Palace structures and ridiculously advanced water flow systems or sheer planning and structural advancement of sigiriya led many folklore to rule out that it was not simply human wisdom that built the palatial city but through an act of the gods themselves the architectural symmetry apparently combined the natural formation of the rock man-made structures unique design concepts that still baffle architects today Palace is named after se would say which means lion's rock which fits as one of the most striking features of the town is the lion's entrance opening a way to the top of the rock one of the most striking features of se would be a large display of drawings and realistic paintings that then cover a portion of the wall frescoes like
are called these paintings depict drawings of partially invested women depicted in different styles and activities although the current paintings only depict 22 women the entire area of the frescoes covers a section 140 m long and 40 m high and is believed to have accommodated more of 500 paintings of these women although most graffiti paintings of these women have been lost over the centuries most of these paintings can still be found other paintings of this type were found on the ceilings of an underground location near the base of the rock called the cave of the hood snake the painting styles of these frescoes are incredibly unique they were classified in the anuradapura era the styles and applications of the paintings differ from other paintings of this type from that era the lines are depicted in such a way that they increase the volume of the painting itself most likely applied with brushstrokes of raster that give a deeper color palette effect in di bordering this painting technique was not known in Sri Lanka during that period adding even more a layer of mystery to the features around you would say
