The amazing well of Chand Baori

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. Legends say that ghosts build it in one night and that it has so many steps to make it impossible for someone to retrieve a coin once it’s been dropped in the well.

    A question to all you ignorant ones out there…this was built in the 9th century and not the 10th century AD when India was one of the richest regions in the world. India did not exist as a country but a separate kingdoms highly advanced in science / language etc. In fact check your history books about Mohenjodaro and Harrappa (one of the earliest advanced civilizations) By the way, can one remind me….what history does America have?
