“Today you push a button to lift heavy loads…
but 1,000 years ago, India built lifts that needed no electricity.”

This video uncovers the forgotten engineering marvel of ancient Indian forts —
the Ghoda-Chakra Lift, a fully mechanical elevator powered by animals.

To transport grain, stones, and water up 70–80 feet high fort walls,
engineers created:

✔ A giant wooden wheel (drum) at the base
✔ Thick ropes wrapped around it
✔ A huge basket tied to the other end
✔ Horses or oxen rotating the wheel
✔ Mechanical advantage lifting tons of weight upward

No gears.
No motors.
No machines.
Only pure mechanical engineering and brilliant physics.

Traces of this ancient lift still exist in forts like:
🏰 Kumbhalgarh (Rajasthan)
🏰 Mehrangarh Fort (Jodhpur)

This wasn’t just rope and wood…
it was India’s proto-elevator system,
the earliest ancestor of the modern lift.
