Built back in the 10th century, the incredible well of Chand Baori, India was a practical solution to the water problem in the area. The arid climate forced the locals to dig deep for a dependable water source, one that would last throughout an entire year. Chand Baori well is 30 meters deep, it has 13 floors and 3,500 steps.
This was in that one movie The Fall.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched it, Ben. Any good?
ReplyDeleteAmazing. I'm wondering if there was a little political embelishment. A simple shaft, and lifting system would have done the same thing.
ReplyDeletesod falling down that...i would love to go there and exercise though
ReplyDeleteBuy me a ticket for the stairlift!
ReplyDeletepic n° 2 after the link looks like a drawing by Escher. I'd feel scared there (cuz no bars or pubs halfway)
ReplyDeleteYep, Peter, it does a bit. You walk up it sideways but I'm still taking the chairlift. Reminds of the Tomb Raider game.
ReplyDeletestill better to visit that, than their "tower of silence"
ReplyDelete(look it up, look it up)
uuuh that's just creepy!
ReplyDeletei'd gladly go for a sky burial, me.
ReplyDeleteone has to die, so why not give your body back to nature : 5000 years ago it was always that way
(sky burial is a little bit diff than tower of silence)

Just blow me up when I go.
