In the 16 century was there 24 monasteries.
There are six active monasteries in the Meteora region of Greece. These monasteries are perched upon high rock formations, creating a unique and breathtaking landscape. The monasteries serve as religious retreats and are also popular tourist attractions.
The Ellora Caves were not founded by a single individual, but rather by various dynasties over several centuries. These caves were built between the 6th and 10th centuries and encompass Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain rock-cut temples and monasteries.
The Ellora Caves were carved out of solid rock by hand, using only hammers and chisels, with some assistance from hammers and wedges. The caves were crafted over several centuries, starting from around the 6th to the 10th centuries, by various religious and social groups, including Buddhists, Hindus, and Jains. These caves served as temples, monasteries, and places of worship.
During this time period, various groups of people around the world settled in caves for various reasons. Examples include the Byzantine monks in Cappadocia, Turkey, who created cave churches and monasteries; the Ancestral Puebloans in the American Southwest who built cliff dwellings in places like Mesa Verde; and the Berbers in North Africa who used caves for shelter and defense.
Ajanta is significant as it is one of the world's greatest ancient art treasure troves. The Ajanta Caves, located in Maharashtra, India, are renowned for their exquisite rock-cut Buddhist cave temples and unique frescoes depicting Buddhist art and philosophy. They provide valuable insights into the history, culture, and artistic achievements of ancient India. The paintings and sculptures at Ajanta reflect the skill, creativity, and spiritual devotion of the artists who created them.

Hi, Linkin Park created the Album which is titled Meteora.
It's named after a giant rock-like structure called The Meteora that is in Greece (if you Google it you'll get a better idea), there are six monasteries on top of the rock. In the documentary for the album, Brad (guitarist) says that they were amazed by it when they saw it and you probably ask your self how it was even possible to build that and get up there. They wanted to make an album that resembled that and was looked at as 'unreachable' I assume.
The cast of Meteora - 1916 includes: Jeanne Nolly
Linkin Park released Meteora in March 2003 through the warner brothers records company. Meteora is one of the most successful album in the history of the alternative songs chart.
