Скачать или смотреть The Hidden Water Engineering of Jaipur: Survival vs. Luxury

How did a hilltop fortress survive a year-long siege without a natural spring? Why did medieval engineers carve "vortex chambers" into the quartzite rock of the Aravallis?
In this episode of Curious Earth, we uncover the invisible lifeline of Jaipur. Beyond the pink sandstone and grand palaces lies a sophisticated network of ancient hydraulic engineering. From the "survival systems" of the hill forts (Nahargarh, Jaigarh, Amer) to the "pleasure hydrology" of the Jal Mahal in the valley below, we explore how the Rajput architects mastered the art of water.
Join us as we decode the aqueducts, Persian wheels, and filtration systems that turned the arid hills of Rajasthan into a thriving civilization.
