Unbelievable! A Massive Temple Mysteriously Carved Out From A Solid Rock

Some of the archeological discoveries are plain shocking. This temple is 1200 years old, and it was carved from the solid rock. How the heck did they do it?

This one is called a Kailasa temple, and it is found in the west of India. This Hindu temple is unusual and impossible. It locates 34 monasteries on its territory amounting to two kilometers. The temple itself is 50 meters deep, 30 meters high and 33 meters wide.



And it’s a monolith! This means the temple is one of the hugest monolith constructions in the world and mind you, it was built over 1000 years ago! How could they possibly make something like that?! Huge pillars at the entrance are also carved from solid rock.



The whole thing may weigh over 400 000 tons. Scientists believe it took them centuries to build the amazing structure. All the walls are magnificently crafted with great care.



It seems like they started to build the temple back in the 3rd century, but they finished it up only in the 8th centuries, 500 years later. No one knows who or how has built the temple. Could the ancient people erect it using just simple tools, such as picks and hammers?



They apparently lacked the technology to do it. Some even believe the place was built by aliens. Well, we do not know that for sure, but the structure is rather striking, and it’s hard to believe human hands have crafted it out of sheer rock

Questions To Ask On A First Date That Will Guarantee A Second One

First dates can be terrifying. They can be great. Neither of you knows what you're really getting into. Is this a good person? Could I see myself dating them in the future? It's always hard to say, but asking these 4 questions can get you some answers.

1. "Do you usually follow your head or your heart?''

This question can be a great way to get right to the core of someone's personality. This can reveal the answers to other questions, like whether your date is more interested in science or art, or whether they try to understand their surroundings in more of an emotive or a logical way. Of course, your date probably falls somewhere in the middle, and just because they might be the opposite, it doesn't mean things won't work out. You could go even further with this, and give your date a specific number of things to name, though that could potentially really put on the pressure. This question is a great way to figure out where your date's priorities lie--are they more into material goods, or are they completely passionate about helping charities? Again, there's no right answer, just an answer that might be more right for you.

2. "What's most important to you in this world?"

You could go even further with this, and give your date a specific number of things to name, though that could potentially really put on the pressure. This question is a great way to figure out where your date's priorities lie--are they more into material goods, or are they completely passionate about helping charities? Again, there's no right answer, just an answer that might be more right for you.

3.  ''What are you currently reading?''

Hopefully it's something, but if they say "nothing," that's definitely useful information. Where do they get their news from? Do they prefer fiction, nonfiction, or poetry? This is a great way to find out the way someone thinks, and can lead to some fun conversations and debates. 

4. "Do the ends always justify the means?"

What lengths is your date willing to go to to get something they want? This can be hugely revealing of your date's personality, and might tell you a thing or two about what a romantic your date is.

7 Steps For Maintaining Braids or Twist

Let’s be honest, Braids take a lot of time and cost a good bit of money. There are several reasons you may choose to get braids for yourself or your daughter, and we know most of them. So, to make sure that your investment goes a long way we have some steps for you to take. Who wants to spend money or time making their hair look good with braiding only to see it go down rapidly after 2-weeks? Absolutely Nobody.

If you do the following things you will be in a much better position after you decide to drop upward a huge amount of money or MAD hours in a salon.


7 Steps for Maintaining Braids or Twists

1. Protect Your Hair At Night

A silk headscarf or a satin pillowcase or Satin Hair Bonnet will help keep your braids from drying out. Your edges will also remain fresher. Doing both may sound like an overkill but many women lose their headscarf during sleep, only to find their braids pressed up against a moisture robbing cotton pillowcase. Keep frizz down and hairstyles in tact with these materials.

2. Keep your Scalp Moist

Break out a Spray Bottle and spray your thirsty roots. It only take a couple of minutes to moisturize your hair. Just like every other living thing on this earth, your hair needs moisture to survive. The number #1 moisturizer for your thirsty roots is water…PERIOD!

3. Avoid Unnatural Products For Keeping Your Braids Moisturized

Avoid mineral oils like the plague. Yes, your braids need to hold as much moisture as they can for that optimum look. But, did you know that “Mineral Oil” is the key ingredient in most of the popular braid moisturizers? Don’t use them! Instead, use natural oils like coconut oil or almond oil. To seal in the moisture a leading option is Apricot Castor Oil. You can use it to seal entire braid strands or just your ends. The oils are really good for scalp soothing and retaining important moisture. If you need a non-greasy feeling moisturizer simply use a natural leave-in conditioner.

4. Wash Braids Bi-Weekly (Minimum Recommendation)

A daily buildup of dirt or sweat can cause pores to clog and product build up. This is a recipe for disaster of a scalp and hair. You can make use of a Shampoo to wash your hair and a T-Shirt Towel for drying without creating much frizz.

5. Reduce Up-Dos, Pulling and High Manipulation

Constant styling and high ponytails or up-dos pulls on your hairline. Consistently pulling on your hairline will weaken your thirsty roots. No need to destroy your edges over styling. Simply limit these kind of styles to 1 or 2 times a week instead of daily.

6. Redo Your Edges After 4 to 6 Weeks

On average, hair grows 1/2 an inch per month. This means after 4 weeks you have some new growth and the braids around your front hairline…(Edges) can begin to look a bit rough. 2-months in you will feel like you are pushing the limits of HOTNESS. Let’s take care of this by simply taking out the braids along the edges. Detangle and conditioning that hair before re-installing those few braids you took out. To control your edges, use an Edge Control Cream.

Reminder: Your edges are fragile and NOT taking care of them properly while in braids can cause some serious Eye DRAMA if you know what we mean.


7. Don't Wear Braids For Too Long

Some women have been able to effectively wear braids for 4-months with serious care. We recommend a maximum of 2 months. New growth can cause the hair to be pulled on from heavy braids or constant tugging from them. Sleep patterns and daily movement can weaken or damage the new growth from consistent stretching. Fragile ends or breakage goes totally against “Protective Hairstyle” so please,  Be Careful!

These 7 steps for maintaining braids or twists should keep you looking nice. You should definitely get your moneys worth of wear. Your thirsty roots will also remain beautiful as you experience healthy hair growth.
