Who Built The Ajanta Caves?

They STILL don’t know…

This archaeological mystery is rarely discussed and has large historical implications.  They are located in a region of India and archaeologists still do not have a complete story on who built these.  There are lots of rumors and speculation but the types of tools that would be needed at the time throw a lot of the previous theories in disarray.

Here is a bit more on where these caves are located:

Since 1983, the Ajanta Caves have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The caves are located in the Indian state of Maharashtra, near Jalgaon, just outside the village of Ajinṭhā (20°31′56″N 75°44′44″E). Caves are only about 59 kilometers from Jalgaon Railway station (on Delhi – Mumbai, Rail line of the Central railways, India); and 104 kilometers from Aurangabad.

In this pic you can get a view of how they are built right into the mountain:
