#40feet

We Indians constructed 40 feet taller and more stable architecture than what Europeans did 300 years later. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a marvel of engineering, but it's nothing compared to the engineering feats of our ancestors. The ninth-century Indian architecture was built to withstand earthquakes, while 12th-century European architecture was built to withstand time. Still, this leaning tower is more famous than Arunachalam temple, which is not only taller but also sturdier than any other structure in India—and yet it remains largely unknown outside India.
