Building without Cranes and Machines

Ganesh Dasa : On one morning walk, Prabhupada described how thousands of years ago temples were built without huge cranes and other machines. He said, "They would build one floor and then push sand up around that entire floor. The whole building would be covered by sand, and they would roll the pillars and stones up to make the second floor. Then they would cover that floor in sand, and in this way they built the different levels until the whole temple was complete."
