भारत, इजिप्त, ग्रीक, रोमन आणि असेरीयन या जगातील प्राचीन संस्कृती मानल्या जातात. किमान तीन हजार वर्षांचा इतिहास या सर्व संस्कृतींना आहे. या सर्व संस्कृती एकमेकांशी जोडल्या गेल्या होत्या त्या व्यापाराच्या माध्यमातून. पण विनिमय हा काही फक्त व्यापारी वस्तूंचाच होत नव्हता तर देवाणघेवाण संस्कृती आणि संकल्पनांचीही होत होती. प्राचीन संस्कृतींमध्ये आकारास आलेल्या या कलाकृती- शिल्पकृती आपल्याला त्या वैचारिक देवाणघेवाणीचेच पुरावे देतात. मानवी श्रद्धांशी संबंधित संकल्पनांचे खूप मोठ्या प्रमाणावर आदानप्रदान झालेले दिसते. त्या सुफलन- समृद्धीशी संबंधित जशा आहेत तशाच त्या अशुभ आणि रोगराईशीही संबंधित आहेत. जगभरातील या प्रमुख शिल्पकृती आता थेट मुंबईत आल्या आहेत.

00:00 We can see this lion's face outside many temples in our area.
00:04 This is a deity called Sekhamet.
00:06 He is an Egyptian deity.
00:07 His face is a lion.
00:10 He is a god of destruction.
00:11 The Nile River is considered to be the most important river in Egypt.
00:14 Before the Nile River,
00:16 a symbol of prosperity was built for ancient Egypt.
00:20 On the doors of the temples,
00:21 two women are depicted as the symbol of the Ganges and Yamuna.
00:27 These women have been present in the rivers of the world's oldest culture.
00:32 Hello, I am Vinayak Parabdhan,
00:49 and you are watching LokSapta.com's Ghost of Mumbai.
00:51 We see many things in Mumbai.
00:55 One of the most important things is that Mumbai is a city of multilingual people.
01:00 The majority of Marathi people live here.
01:03 It is a village,
01:05 but multilingual people also come here in large numbers.
01:08 The world-class city is a symbol of this.
01:12 We can see this in the context of ancient culture.
01:16 We can see that the oldest city in the world
01:20 and the oldest culture in the world
01:23 had a village in it, and the different cultures
01:27 came together to form a city.
01:29 The influence of all these things on the world's culture
01:32 has been preserved.
01:34 In Mumbai, we can understand the influence of the world
01:38 and this is the message that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Bastu has conveyed.
01:44 A very important thing, a very important exhibition
01:48 is currently being held here.
01:50 The name of this exhibition is Ancient Culture, Ancient City,
01:54 Ancient Art, Ancient Art.
01:57 We can understand the influence of the world
02:00 through all these things in Mumbai.
02:03 (Music)
02:08 (Music)
02:36 Ancient culture, as it is said,
02:38 the world's tradition of ancient culture
02:40 goes back approximately 6,000 years.
02:43 The ancient evidence of this,
02:46 the evidence of the art or the artistic evidence,
02:49 is still available in the world.
02:51 These are available in the various museums of the world.
02:56 But these world-class museums
02:59 have sent their art to Mumbai.
03:02 And the influence of all this can be taken here in Mumbai.
03:07 Ancient culture, as it is said,
03:10 we remember Egypt, Greek, Roman, Assyrian,
03:14 and most importantly, our culture,
03:17 that is, the culture of India.
03:19 The mutual relationship of these ancient cultures was given.
03:23 Trade was the most important reason for it.
03:26 Because of these trades, the people used to come and go from here and there.
03:31 And different things were given in exchange.
03:34 It was not just the exchange of objects,
03:37 but the exchange of cultures.
03:39 Different ideas went from one culture to another.
03:45 It is often said in science
03:48 that even if a person is in two different places in the world,
03:51 the same person in the same time period
03:54 thinks in the same way.
03:57 And the research of all this, the research of scientific thought,
04:01 is taken from the medium of art.
04:04 And we are going to take that research in this section.
04:07 People who are in two different places in the world at the same time
04:11 generally think in the same way.
04:15 And we are seeing the reflection of that in this sculpture.
04:19 This sculpture was originally from the Ephesus in Turkestan.
04:24 And there was the temple of Artemis there.
04:27 Now, which god is Artemis?
04:29 He is the god of the jungle and the hunter.
04:31 So, the temple of Artemis,
04:33 outside that temple, there was a lion's face.
04:36 We can see this lion's face outside many temples in our country.
04:40 If we see this lion's face sculpture carefully,
04:43 we will realize that it is a very good sculpture.
04:47 We can see the art here.
04:49 However, after seeing this, we get scared many times.
04:53 Because this sculpture is outside the temples,
04:57 it is often seen as a protective deity.
05:00 Or it is seen as a protector.
05:03 But this is not just a scary thing.
05:05 If you look at the eyes of this sculpture carefully,
05:08 they are very big eyes.
05:10 If you look at the shape of it,
05:12 you will see that the hair is on the back.
05:14 It is a very good shape.
05:17 We saw that the temple we have,
05:19 the lion is seen outside the temples
05:23 as a protector or a guardian deity.
05:27 And in the Assyrian region,
05:30 which is an ancient culture,
05:32 we can see this lion outside the temple
05:36 as a protector deity.
05:38 We can see this god on my back.
05:40 He is a god named Sekhmet.
05:42 He is an Egyptian god.
05:44 The sculpture we see here
05:46 is approximately 3000 years old.
05:49 What is important is that
05:51 this god is a lion-faced god.
05:54 If we look closely,
05:55 his face is a lion.
05:57 And this god is a god of violence.
06:01 He is a god of violence and violence.
06:04 He is a god who is very violent.
06:08 But we often see in human culture
06:11 that if you make the gods happy,
06:14 they will remove the bad things
06:17 and become the gods of good things.
06:21 This Sekhmet god is a similar type of god.
06:24 So, the ancient sculptures
06:27 found in Egypt 3,500 years ago,
06:31 often have two sculptures.
06:34 The first sculpture is very upright.
06:39 The second sculpture is very calm.
06:45 The first sculpture is a symbol of calmness
06:49 and the second sculpture is a symbol of calmness.
06:53 Friends, we have said that
06:54 in two different cultures,
06:58 similar thoughts are expressed.
07:00 Do we find such a god in India?
07:03 No, we do not.
07:05 In India, we find a god named Nrusihi.
07:08 If you look at the description of Nrusihi,
07:13 it is described as a goddess with a lion on top
07:17 and a man's body on the bottom.
07:21 She is the same goddess.
07:24 She is also known as the goddess of bad luck.
07:27 She is described as a goddess who brings bad luck.
07:33 She is also known as the goddess of bad luck.
07:37 She is also known as the goddess of bad luck.
07:39 But later, it is said that
07:45 if she is not pleased,
07:47 she will do something bad.
07:51 Both cultures are very long.
07:53 On one side is Egypt and on the other is India.
07:56 But we can see that
07:57 the same kind of thought is expressed in both cultures.
08:02 You may have noticed that
08:05 the human body is on the bottom
08:07 and the animal and bird on the top.
08:12 We can see such a thought in both cultures
08:15 in the form of different gods and goddesses.
08:20 On my left,
08:22 this sculpture is of Api.
08:24 This sculpture is from Egypt.
08:26 Again, Egypt is one of the ancient cultures.
08:30 The Nile River is considered to be the most important in Egypt.
08:33 The Poorh that comes to the Nile is very important.
08:37 Because if a poorh comes,
08:39 it brings with it many kinds of blessings.
08:45 The poorh that comes to the Nile
08:47 was a symbol of good luck for ancient Egypt.
08:51 The god of the poorh that comes to the Nile is Api.
08:55 She was its goddess.
08:57 That is why Api is described as the goddess of good luck.
09:01 We can see different kinds of gods.
09:04 How do we know that this is the god of good luck?
09:07 The god has flowers,
09:10 trees,
09:11 and a lemon.
09:13 He also has a mouse-like creature called Ghuz.
09:18 What does this god do with all these?
09:21 The god named Amundra,
09:23 who is also known as the god of gods,
09:25 or we may call him Indra
09:28 or the king of gods,
09:29 he is the god of gods.
09:32 The god of gods is also known as Api.
09:35 She is the symbol of good luck.
09:37 This is the way it is described.
09:39 All the ancient gods in the world
09:41 are associated with good luck.
09:46 Which god is associated with good luck?
09:50 If we look at our ancient temples,
09:53 we will see that on the doors of the temples,
09:57 two women are depicted as the symbol of Ganga and Yamuna.
10:03 They are Ganga and Yamuna.
10:05 How do we know that?
10:06 They have a pot in their hands,
10:09 a pot or a pot,
10:11 and we believe that the water of Ganga or Yamuna is in it.
10:15 All the ancient cultures in the world
10:17 are present in the pores of these rivers.
10:20 When we look at the history of civilization in India,
10:24 we realize that
10:26 the second largest civilization in India
10:28 is in the Ganges.
10:30 The Ganges that is on the entrance of the temples
10:34 or on the outside of the temples,
10:37 is a symbol of good luck.
10:40 We have understood the four different styles of architecture.
10:45 We have also understood
10:48 how the people of two different clans
10:53 think in a similar way.
10:56 All these are true.
10:58 But in today's episode,
11:00 we have understood only four styles of architecture.
11:02 In the upcoming episodes,
11:04 we will understand the ancient styles of architecture.
11:07 Till then, subscribe to the Lok Satya Live YouTube channel.
