the sandtrap/ ruins
Does anyone know if those kind of traps were real and when and where there may be other examples of them? Also, form what culture come those awesome ruins?
sharesince the film is set in India, I guess the ruins come from there, although there are similar ruins all over South-East Asia (Indonesia, Cambodia) which were influenced by Hinduism.
As for the sandtrap... I dunno if they existed, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did.
here's one example of such a temple from SouthEast Asia
