Phimai Temple – The Greatest Mystery of Thailand | Part 1 | Praveen Mohan

Hey guys, no, this is not Angkor Wat in Cambodia. This is the Phimai temple, the greatest temple in Thailand. But it has confused archaeologists and historians for more than a century. This is the question that has haunted all experts. Is it a Buddhist temple? Or is it a Hindu temple? Who is this temple dedicated to? Lord Buddha? Or Hindu Gods like Shiva or Vishnu? By the end of this video, you will find the answer to this question. As soon as I entered the temple, I was blown away by this cross shaped bridge. First, there are two large lion like creatures. But as I walked past them, can you see these giant statues? What are they? They are gigantic Nagas, the snake like reptile beings with multiple heads, and their hooves are shown flaring up as though they've been riled up by some vibration. Each Naga has 7 heads, and look at how its body, the long slender snake like body, has become the handrails or balustrades. The body of the Naga protects people from falling off the bridge. Notice how the bridge is elevated and the Nagas seem like they are hanging above the ground. Certainly their heads are poised above the ground. There are 4 Nagas guarding each direction. They look similar, but there are subtle differences between them. But we are distracted by the heads of the Naga. They don't look like typical snake faces. Look at this, it definitely does not look like a snake. But this is a mere distraction. What we should really be looking at is below, carved on the reptile's scaly body. Yes, a strange pattern with concentric circles and strange lines within them. This is a cymatic pattern, the pattern that matches a certain frequency or sound. Today, we call it cymatics and we know that every sound and frequency creates a visual pattern, very similar to this carving. In every Naga statue, we find this cymatic frequency pattern, but each one slightly varies from the other, telling us each Naga represents a different frequency. Now, I am going to Thailand again this August to visit this extraordinary temple. So, if you want to join me, click on the link in the description and you can join me in the tour. But our quest today is to decode an ancient mystery. Is the Femai temple a Buddhist temple or a Hindu temple? Let's go into the main chamber and find out. As we go towards the main chamber, you can see a central figure in a silhouette. What is that? Is that a Naga? Is this temple dedicated to the reptile god Naga? As we go closer, something gets clearer. It is Lord Buddha sitting majestically. There is something quite mystical about the statue. The peace in his face, the way he is sitting, makes you want to sit down and observe him. In fact, this is a great place to meditate. So, is the Femai temple a Buddhist temple because the main statue is Lord Buddha? No, archeologists confirm that this is not the original statue. In fact, in the Femai museum, a documentary clearly states that the original statue has been long lost, and even though this statue could be hundreds of years old, it is not the original statue. So, we cannot confirm this is a Buddhist temple. But even this Buddha statue has some hidden elements. There is something that is protecting Buddha. Who can be powerful enough to protect Lord Buddha? This giant Naga with seven heads. Seven is a prime number on top of Buddha. At the bottom, you can see three coils of Naga, another prime number. But there is something missing. Can you tell me what is missing here? Where is the cymatic frequency pattern on the Naga? At the back. Yes, the cymatic frequency pattern is carved at the back of the Naga's head. If you observe carefully, you can see five concentric circles, another prime number, three coils, five circles, seven heads. This is an ancient code with a sequence of prime numbers. But the real secret is hidden in the cymatic pattern of the Nagas. This is why we see these cymatic patterns carved in most ancient temples of India, and in temples of Southeast Asia, even on the Nagas of Angkor Wat. But, when you first set eyes on the Themai temple, you immediately thought of Angkor Wat temple, didn't you? Why? This temple's towers also look like drill bits, just like that of Angkor Wat. But the tower has one important detail, which subconsciously reminds you of Angkor Wat. You see these parts pointing up? These are found in the Themai temple, as well as the Angkor Wat temple, and they have a strange effect on your eyes. The whole tower is designed sloping down, while these parts are projecting up. This is the detail that really makes both these temples look spectacular. But what are they? Let me show you a closer view. You see why they are pointing up? Because they are Nagas. Yes, all of them are Nagas, and while everything points down, the Nagas point up, giving us an odd feeling, an awe-inspiring yet unsettling emotion. Why are the Nagas placed at every level of the tower? Ancient builders created these Nagas using separate stones, and installed them at the tips of the tower's stones. This is why you see a gap between the Nagas and the stones of the tower. Notice how the Nagas are exactly aligned along one line, when you see them from the top. If we go exactly on the top of the tower, like a bird, you can see a circle in the center, and an X mark, like an aerial marker. This X mark is made using Nagas. Was this temple designed to be an aerial marker, meant to be identified from the air? But something doesn't add up, right? Did ancient builders just worship snakes as gods? Isn't it just strange that they worshiped serpents as their masters? The answer is staring at you right now. The Naga appears to be a snake, but is it? Look carefully. Yes, this is the real form of the Naga. They are not snakes, they are actually humanoid reptiles. Here you can see how these serpentine Nagas slowly start revealing their true form. For a casual visitor, a Naga is a multi-headed snake, but for someone who is truly seeking ancient knowledge, the Naga is a powerful humanoid being that can shapeshift like reptiles. In fact, these humanoid Nagas are not only found on the temple tower, there are hundreds of these statues destroyed and lying in the ground in the same temple complex. See, there is a conical arch, the hood shape of a snake, but inside you can see a humanoid. This is the real form of the Naga. All of them are humanoid Nagas hiding inside the skins of snakes. Are they skinwalkers? Now, let's get back to the original question. Was the Femai temple built as a Buddhist temple or a Hindu temple? Who is the Femai temple dedicated to? Buddha, Vishnu or Shiva? There is another way of asking this question. Whose statues and carvings dominate the Femai temple? Whose statues are found the most? Buddha, Vishnu or Shiva? No, Naga. The Femai temple has more Naga motif than any other deity. Yes, this temple has Buddhist statues, but in almost all Buddhist statues and carvings, the Nagas are seen towering on top of Buddha. And archaeologists are surprised by something even more strange. There are a lot of Hindu carvings found all over the temple. In fact, some experts even argue this is a Hindu temple because there are lots of carvings of Hindu gods. But there is a secret message encoded in these carvings. For example, this lintel shows an amazing scene from the Hindu epic Ramayana. Rama, who is the avatar of Lord Vishnu, is shown as this giant figure in the center. But there is something very odd here. See how everyone is shown crying. But why are they crying? Because Rama, the hero of the epic, has fainting. He is shown in a comatose state. But who was powerful enough to knock this great god unconscious? Look at what is wrapped around him. The Naga. This weapon is called the Naga Pasha and it was the Naga that knocked him unconscious. Is it possible that experts have been looking at this temple from a totally misguided angle? Did they miss the hidden message all these years? We see Buddha, but Naga is towering over him. We see Rama, but Naga is wrapped around him. Was the Femai temple dedicated to Nagas? The statues and carvings of Naga clearly outnumber the statues and carvings of Buddha as well as the carvings of Hindu gods. Why do we see Nagas adorning this iconic bridge and the main tower? Is it possible that the Femai temple carries a secret message about Nagas, the ancient reptile gods common to Buddhism, Hinduism and almost all ancient religions? I have some more information about the Nagas and their codes at the Femai temple, but I cannot post it here. So, I have posted this in the members only section.
