Ancient temple technology

The Hindu temples are incredible.
This video discusses a "bio motor"

Biomotors: Some researchers suggest a visual resemblance between the geometric designs of certain temple columns and the structure of a "biomotor," a type of molecular motor found in bacteria that uses electrons for movement.

Another Hindu temple..

Borobudur.
This thing is built in a 3d cymatic pattern.
Initially thought to be some sort of resonator, but now believed to be a damper.
Built on a fault line, it's purpose is to prevent earth quakes.

Wut?

It’s not Hindu. It’s a Buddhist temple. Please tell me that that the video you linked doesn’t call it a Hindu temple.

Guess what?
There are markings from BOTH Hindu and Buddist.
Some experts believe it was built BEFORE those religions split.
Hmmm..

Guess what? I’ve been there. I make it a point to visit temples, chapels, churches, alters in every country I’ve ever travelled for work.

The experts you ‘cite’, arent IMO. Of course some of the imagery is similar being that Buddhism’s start was in Northern India but, no.. It was built as a Buddhist temple, not Hindu.

And no,,, there was no real ‘split’ of Hindu and Buddhism and the temple was obviously built after the emergence of Buddhism unless you think that didn’t first happen in India and branch out from there or that the design of Borobudur is not that of levels of enlightenment?

I was taken to Borobudur by my wife's brother when we visited her family. He gave a better tour than any guide could have, telling the various folklore of the many carvings. It is quite an amazing structure.
I was quite popular there being one of the very few of European heritage. While islands like Bali are frequent tourist spots, Java does not see as many light skinned people. There were many young student groups there. They were amazed and nervous at first seeing me. The brave ones enjoyed practicing their English with me, although my wife had to translate a bit. She told me they referred to me as Mr. Hot. She asked them why, and they said I was the only one sweating. I had not acclimated yet. I was also popular with the Muslim woman, as many of them would ask my wife to take pictures of them with me. I had quite a 2 week trip. I must have been on 6 different airplanes due to her family being on a few different islands. I don't think I slept more than 4 hours a day, especially with the 4:30am call to prayer every day.
Monkey Forest in Bali is also quite an interesting place.

I would love to hear some of the stories.
Having seen it first hand, in your opinion, could hunter gathers make that structure ?3000? years ago?
