On a trip to discover the ancient temple of Panchavarnaswamy in Tamil Nadu state, India, Praveen Mohan discovered an amazing carvings of a modern bicycle in an ancient 2,000-year-old temple .

Reversing the history of bicycles, the forerunner of a bicycle today is believed to be Baron Drais' walking machine that appeared in 1817 in Germany. But recently, searchers discovered the image of a woman riding a bicycle with a similar design to a modern bicycle in an ancient temple dating back to 2,000 years, 1,800 years earlier. The body of the bike was born.

This unexpected discovery opens up questions about the birth of a bicycle, is it that the ancient Indians were able to predict the future of thousands of years later, or were they the ones who gave it? image of a modern and useful human transportation?

"The historians all told us about the first bike invented in the 1800s, that is, only 200 years ago. But this ancient wall carved has 2,000 years ago." , Mohan wondered.

From the image of the bicycle Mohan recorded in the temple, the similarity with modern bicycles can be seen.

To answer this mystery, Dr. - historian R Kalaikovan gave a rather reasonable explanation.

He said that in 1920, the Panchavarnaswamy temple was renovated , it was also the time that the bicycle became popular and the design was compact and less cumbersome than the bicycle of the earlier periods. 'Perhaps the sculptor of the temple saw someone walking on the bike, was impressed and recorded the mark by floating on the wall', Mr. R Kalaikovan explained.

This seems to be a convincing answer, but there is still no definitive evidence and a truly accurate explanation of the modern bicycle image in Panchavarnaswamy temple.
