6 Buildings That Look Like Something From Another Planet

Ellora Caves – Verul, India – The Mountain That Was Carved Into A Temple

The Ellora Caves are not a building – they are a mountain that was turned into a building. Carved out of a single basalt rock, the Kailasa Temple is the largest monolithic structure in the world, taking over 150 years to complete. The entire temple was carved from the top down, with the sculptors starting at the roof and working their way down to the base, removing over 400,000 tonnes of rock in the process. It is one of the most astonishing architectural achievements in human history.
