ELLORA CAVES
Extraordinary engineering feat!
Cut & paste from wikipedia
Ellora is an ancient village 30 km (18.6 miles) from the city of Aurangabad in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Famous for its monumental caves, Ellora is a World Heritage Site.
Ellora represents the epitome of Indian rock cut architecture. The 34 "caves" – actually structures excavated out of the vertical face of the Charanandri hills – comprised of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain cave temples and monasteries, were built between the 5th century and 10th century. The 12 Buddhist, 17 Hindu and 5 Jain caves, built in proximity, demonstrate the religious tolerance prevalent during this period of Indian history.

well that depends - what constitues as amazing. also are u talking about with machines or by hand. its a very subjective question, obviously, but it has more than one factor.
by hand - the pyramids which the Jews made in Egypt while they were enslaved there - as many ppl dont even know how it was done.
machine - the new building (forgot its name) which is supposed to absorb much less shock during earthquakes.

TAJ MAHAL sticking to the basics no machines only manual labour still standing in there showin one of the oldest love stories
and proving it everyday..... build it manually without machines if anyone says that i am wrong.....
1 more thing all the artists had to cut out their hands once it was complete .... never happened in the world history
