THIS Is Why Rani Ki Vav In India Is The Most Amazing Temple Of The World
Are you ready to be transported to a world of ancient beauty and wonder? From its intricate carvings and stunning sculptures to its unique design, this architectural masterpiece will take your breath away.
Rani ki Vav, one of the greatest examples of Solanki period architecture, is found near the town of Patan on the banks of the Saraswati River. This stepwell, also known as Rani-ni-Vav, is shown on the Indian currency's 100 rupee note.
Rani ki Vav, both literally and metaphorically, is the Queen of stepwells due to its construction and majesty. The only stepwell in India to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site is Rani ki Vav.
A queen herself appointed the Queen of Stepwells. This stepwell was constructed by Solanki (Chalukya) dynasty Queen Udaymati in honour of her late husband, King Bhimadeva I. Of course, the stepwell was constructed for practical reasons as well, for the benefit of her people.
From 940 CE until 1244 CE, the Solanki Kings reigned over parts of what is now Gujarat and Rajasthan. The ancient city of Anahillavada or Anahillapura, which is the modern-day Gujarati city of Patan, was home to their capital. Naturally, Patan and the surrounding region were the location of several ancient buildings, including as temples, forts, and stepwells.

Archaeologists Just Announced They Made A Shocking Discovery That Changes Everything
The University of San Domingo's Dominican Egyptian archaeological mission discovered a tunnel carved in the rock about 13 meters below the earth's surface. A massive, magnificent tunnel that is being termed a "geometric miracle" beneath a temple in the ancient city of Taposiris Magna, which is now a ruin on the coast of Egypt.
The burial crypt of Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII, which dates to 30 BC, is yet undiscovered somewhere close to Alexandria, Egypt. The Roman leader Octavian (later known as Augustus) reportedly allowed their burial together after defeating them, according to authors Suetonius and Plutarch.
Cleopatra VII's early years in Ptolemaic Egypt began with her birth to then-reigning pharaoh Ptolemy XII Auletes and her unidentified mother (perhaps Cleopatra V) in early 69 BC and continued until her ascension to the throne in March 51 BC.
Cleopatra spent her early years in the Egyptian palace of Alexandria where she was educated mostly in Hellenistic Greek by her tutor Philostratus, a researcher at the renowned Alexandrian library. She was fluent in many languages by the time she was an adult, including her native Koine Greek, Egyptian, Ethiopian, Hebrew, Arabic, Median, Parthian.
Father of Cleopatra was a Roman Republic client king. Ptolemy XII lost favour with the citizens in Egypt when he remained mute and made no response to the events that led to his brother Ptolemy of Cyprus' suicide rather than go into exile when the Romans annexed Cyprus and forced him to choose between that and going into exile.
During a revolution, he was deported from Egypt along with a daughter who was apparently Cleopatra and not Arsinoe IV. This made it possible for Cleopatra VI Tryphaena's older sister Berenice IV to accede to the throne in 58 BC and rule alongside her.
