Which, in due fairness, the Christians would later do to them.

The Islamic invasion of the Indian subcontinent is all just a conspiracy theory amirite?

My point was that not being able to find the former site of a wealthy temple is the kind of thing Graham Hancock fans like to hold up as evidence that history is really just a coverup and “they” don’t want us to know the truth because academia would have to rewrite all the textbooks.
Apparently my point was not well made.

The Muslims Arab invaders used to hold the temple hostage by threatening to demolish the sun temple if any neighboring Hindu rulers attacked them. At one point, it provided over 30 % of their state revenue. They also mockingly hung cow flesh in the temple to show Hindus that they were to be conquered in all ways possible.
