I guess you are American? We have hundreds of cathedrals in Europe as impressive or more impressive, built 6-800 years ago.
notice that the rectangular opening is only large enough for a 10 year old to go in, since adult human beings cannot access it, was it designed for human beings at all?

This detailed work is blowing my mind. I just don't see how this is even possible with modern technology. I would really like Phage to step in at some point and tell me because I know its impossible, If this was carved with hand tools, it would take like 500 years. That is too hard to imagine what happened. Idk maybe monks are just resourceful sons a bitches.

ummm huh? The impressive part is the design PLUS the fact it was carved out of the mountain in 1 solid piece.
The link provided isn't even close to what we are seeing in the OP. apples n oranges.

The Temple should be datable by the statues and carvings. Are there particular known rulers carved somewhere? Is the style of carving datable to a particular time period? It is an amazing architecture!
