Who cut the Lomas Rishi caves? Ancient "Laser Cut" Caves Found In India?
Within the Barabar and Nagarjuni hills of the Jehanabad district of India, sits anorock-cuties of rock cut features.
6 Crudely cut caves carved into large stones, which litter the surrounding hillsides, they could be seen as crude and possibly more modern attempts, to re-create what can be found on the top of the hill.
Known as the Lomas Rishi cave, cut into an enormous rock, it is the only one out of the many within the area, which demonstrates a level of refinement which literally boggles the mind.
The only cave in the area that has a delicately cut entrance, but also an interior which has seemingly been protected from the elements, perfectly preserved in its original state.
demonstrating a state of rock cutting which has left the rock polished to a mirror smooth finish.
Evidence reinforcing the postulation that this cave, and additionally Kailash temple, are remnants left by a far older, and once far more advanced culture than officially accepted.
The hut-style facade at the entrance to the cave is officially accepted as the earliest example of the ogee shaped "chaitya arch," or chandrashala, that was to be an important feature of Indian rock-cut architecture and sculptural decoration, for centuries during its post-cataclysmic development.
The example here is largely accepted as the specific influence for later examples, of which there are many at later Buddhist sites such as the Ajanta Caves and Karla Caves in Maharashtra.
This information supports the hypothesis that the crudely cut caves within the area, were indeed more modern yet still considerably old attempts to recreate these rock-cut designed caves, our more modern ancestors unable to accurately recreate such an astonishing feat.
How, or indeed who, cut the Lomas Rishi cave?
Or more importantly, how did they do it?
How did they achieve such an amazing finish to the stonework?
Were these same people responsible for the construction of Kailash temple? Also, another structure exquisitely cut out of a giant solid stone.
Although modern academically accepted views, state that they were created during the reign of the Mauryan emperor “Ashoka,” a Buddhist ruler from the third century BC, who ruled over almost the entire country of India, caves known as Satgarva were carved into the hills, for the use of the monks. Lomas Rishi Cave is said to have been one of them.
Yet due to its exquisite quality, it’s hard to see just how they can claim this.

China has been building what it calls "the world's biggest camera surveillance network"
China has been building what it calls "the world's biggest camera surveillance network". Across the country, 170 million CCTV cameras are already in place and an estimated 400 million new ones will be installed in the next three years.
Many of the cameras are fitted with artificial intelligence, including facial recognition technology. The BBC's John Sudworth has been given rare access to one of the new hi-tech police control rooms.

India Successfully Test Fires Brahmos Missile From Su-30MKI
The BrahMos is a medium-range ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarine, ships, aircraft, or land. It is the fastest supersonic cruise missile in the world. It is a joint venture between the Russian Federation's NPO Mashinostroeyenia and India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) who together have formed BrahMos Aerospace. It is based on the Russian P-800 Oniks cruise missile and other similar sea-skimming Russian cruise missile technology. The name BrahMos is a portmanteau formed from the names of two rivers, the Brahmaputra of India and the Moskva of Russia. Russia supplies 65% of the BrahMos' components, including its ramjet engine and radar seeker.
It is the world's fastest anti-ship cruise missile in operation. The missile travels at speeds of Mach 2.8 to 3.0. The land-launched and ship-launched versions are already in service, with the air and submarine-launched versions currently in the testing phase. An air-launched variant of BrahMos appeared in 2012. A hypersonic version of the missile, BrahMos-II, is also presently under development with a speed of Mach 7-8 to boost aerial fast strike capability. It is expected to be ready for testing by 2020.
India wanted the BrahMos to be based on a mid-range cruise missile like the P-700 Granit. Its propulsion is based on the Russian missile, and missile guidance has been developed by BrahMos Aerospace. The missile is expected to reach a total order US$13 billion.
In 2016, as India became a member of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), India and Russia are now planning to jointly develop a new generation of Brahmos missiles with 600 km-plus range and an ability to hit protected targets with pinpoint accuracy.
