00:00 Ashur Nasirpal, the Assyrian king, had appointed various security gods in different parts of his kingdom.
00:09 This is the corpse of the ancient Roman goddess.
00:12 This is the corpse of the 5th or 6th year old girl who died.
00:18 And it is called Sarcophagus.
00:20 The god of the Greek gods is called Zeus.
00:23 The goddess of love is called Rani. She is asked to help her get out of her dream world.
00:31 Namaskar, I am Vinayak Parabh, bringing you another episode of LokSapta.com - Ghost Mumbai.
00:50 In this second episode, we have explored the ancient Mumbai,
00:54 but we have also explored the diversity of Mumbai.
00:59 And another important feature of Mumbai is its multiculturalism.
01:04 And we have explored this as well.
01:06 While exploring all this, we have come to Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangraha.
01:13 The reason for this is that an excellent exhibition called Prachin Shilpakruti is being held here.
01:20 Actually, if we want to see this ancient sculpture, we have to go to different countries.
01:27 But as I said, Mumbai is truly unique.
01:30 And that is why these ancient sculptures,
01:33 from different countries, from the Vastu Sangraha,
01:36 have come to Mumbai and we are able to see them.
01:40 The uniqueness of Mumbai is its multiculturalism.
01:43 Similarly, the uniqueness of the ancient cities and ancient nations
01:48 can be understood here in Mumbai.
01:52 (Music)
02:19 One of the ancient cultures is Mesopotamia.
02:23 And this culture was in the region of Kuwait, Syria, and Turkestan.
02:32 Mesopotamia was present there.
02:36 In the 9th century BC, Assyrian culture was present there.
02:42 And the Assyrian kings built their palaces and palaces in different places.
02:49 And in different places, they built their protective gods.
02:55 Sometimes, they would build huge stones and sculpt the protective gods on them.
03:03 So, in some places, you can see the sculptures.
03:08 I am standing here with one such sculpture.
03:12 You can see this sculpture behind me.
03:15 The king named Ashur-Nasir-Pal died in the 9th century BC.
03:21 And this Assyrian king had carved different protective gods
03:26 in different parts of his palaces.
03:30 And we can see another similar sculpture behind me.
03:34 We can see a man in a chariot.
03:38 And in one of his hands, we can see a fan.
03:44 The crown he is wearing is a flower crown.
03:47 This flower crown tells us that he is a divine personality.
03:51 He is a god.
03:53 There is a crown in one of his hands.
03:56 And the other hand is raised to bless him.
04:00 We can see such protective gods in the Assyrian kingdom.
04:05 We can see such gods outside the different temples in our country.
04:12 This proves that people in two different places in one palace
04:18 think in the same way.
04:22 The king who died in the 9th century BC, Ashur-Nasir-Pal,
04:27 was an Assyrian king.
04:29 And we saw one sculpture in his palace.
04:32 And we can see another sculpture outside his palace.
04:36 It is on my back.
04:38 We can see that the sculpture is carved with a face of a garuda.
04:46 And the man's body is on the bottom.
04:50 The most important thing in this sculpture is that
04:54 we can see a date tree in his hand.
04:58 And there is a date tree on the other side.
05:01 And he is worshipping the Paragas.
05:04 And worshipping the Paragas is the symbol of prosperity.
05:09 The other hand is decorated with a water pump.
05:12 We have seen in a previous episode that
05:15 when a sculpture has a water pump in its hand,
05:18 it is considered a symbol of prosperity.
05:21 In India, we see the construction of the two major rivers,
05:27 Ganga and Yamuna.
05:30 And the woman in the water pump is like the Ganga or Yamuna.
05:36 She is a goddess of prosperity.
05:39 Ashur-Nasir-Pal had two sculptures on both sides of his palace.
05:45 One of them shows a god who is a protector.
05:48 And the other one shows a god who is a god of prosperity.
05:54 The king is a protector of the people.
05:58 And on the other side, he is a god who feeds them.
06:01 In ancient culture, we can see such a combination in all cultures.
06:07 Be it Mesopotamia, Assyrian culture, Egypt or in all ancient India.
06:16 The Greek and Roman or the sculptures in ancient culture,
06:21 we can see one of their important features.
06:24 That is the round body.
06:26 If we look closely at this sculpture,
06:29 we can see the feet of the god of prosperity.
06:34 We can see the round body.
06:38 Especially the part of the waist is round.
06:42 This is the statue of the second or third century of the Isvisama,
06:46 in an ancient room.
06:48 This is the statue of the fifth or sixth year of her death.
06:54 This is called a sarcophagus.
06:57 We can see the megalithic dolmens.
07:00 We have a period called the Mahashma Yuga.
07:04 This Mahashma Yuga is the period of death.
07:09 We can see the various things related to death.
07:13 The megalithic dolmens are two huge stones
07:18 and a capstone on top of it.
07:21 We can see such a sarcophagus.
07:24 This is a sarcophagus of the second or third century of the Isvisama.
07:29 She is a young girl.
07:31 It is possible that she was married because she was five or six years old.
07:35 But the desire of this girl or the family's desire for her
07:41 is depicted on this capstone.
07:44 The capstone depicts the marriage process.
07:50 The young girl has grown up and the wedding process is depicted here.
07:56 On one side, there is a musical composition,
07:58 on the other side, there is a musical instrument,
08:00 and on the other side, there is a wedding procession.
08:03 There are various depictions of the marriage procession.
08:06 Apart from this, this sarcophagus is a unique feature.
08:09 In this sarcophagus, the deceased have to tell some stories
08:13 in the later life.
08:15 The way they are kept is depicted in this sarcophagus.
08:20 The megalithic culture that we call Mahashmayugin culture
08:23 existed in the period before the Isvisama.
08:27 The Roman shabapetika that we see here
08:30 is from the second or third century of the Isvisama.
08:33 The faith and tradition of the deceased
08:37 are still alive and we can see their maintenance
08:41 in the later period.
08:44 This is the last figure found in the southern Italy
08:47 in the fourth century BC.
08:50 If we look at this figure, we will notice
08:53 that we can see two things here.
08:56 One is the life after death,
08:58 the attraction of the human being towards it.
09:00 This is very sanatana.
09:01 We can see this attraction here.
09:03 The life after death,
09:05 or the picture of the deceased,
09:07 or the life after his death,
09:09 is very beautiful.
09:10 We can see such pictures here.
09:13 Now, how did we know that this is the last figure?
09:17 Because even though we can see the figure from outside,
09:20 it is not easy to keep it in mind
09:23 because there is a hole at the bottom of the figure.
09:26 If we put something on top of it,
09:29 it will come out from the bottom.
09:31 So, we can see that this is the last figure.
09:35 Apart from this, we can see many other things
09:38 and the symbols of prosperity
09:40 are also depicted here.
09:42 We have seen in one part
09:44 that the god of the Greek gods is called Zeus.
09:48 He tells Aphrodite, the goddess of second love,
09:54 that a queen named Sparta
09:56 should help her to enter my love.
10:00 We can see the symbol of her on the figure.
10:04 Apart from this, there is another picture at the bottom.
10:07 It has a figure of a swan
10:10 and it seems like he is trying to take her to love.
10:14 And for that, the goddess of hypnosis,
10:17 we can call her the sleeping goddess or the sleeping goddess,
10:20 is trying to help her.
10:22 So, in this way, we can see such examples
10:25 in the world's cultures,
10:27 like this example is seen in Italy.
10:29 But we can see such examples
10:31 in all the ancient cultures of the world.
10:34 We can see this in the box we saw earlier.
10:39 And in the Mahashmayug traditions,
10:42 we can see different traditions, traditions and beliefs
10:46 in the context of the end times.
10:50 We can see that all the cultures in the world,
10:53 be it Indian, Egyptian, Mesopotamian,
10:57 Babylonian or even Assyrian,
11:00 in all these cultures,
11:02 the idea of the human being in the context of death
11:05 and the idea of life after death
11:08 was being done with this same concept.
11:10 In today's episode, we will stop here.
11:13 But this show is still very big.
11:16 So, we will see the different aspects of this show
11:18 in the next episode.
11:21 But before that, if not in this episode,
11:24 then we will see the other different parts
11:26 of Ghost of Mumbai.
