Danigala mountain

Prompt:  One of the strangest mountains on Earth can be found in Sri Lanka. Rising above the jungle is a summit that is almost a perfect circle. And according to ancient Sanskrit texts, this peak is a portal for the gods. At number two on our countdown: Danigala Mountain. Central Sri Lanka. Overlooking the small town of Aralaganwila stands the lush Danigala mountain range. Its undulating peaks reach heights of just under 1,000 feet, but despite its low elevation, one mysterious summit has captured the imaginations of locals and visitors alike. It's a strange outcropping that is almost entirely round. This is a very remarkable geological formation, circular in shape, with a completely flat platform on the top of it. For locals, the mountain is famous not only for its unique shape, but for the number of reports of unidentified aerial phenomena at the site. Everybody calls it "Alien Mountain," because this is a UFO hot spot. At least two dozen UFO sightings have been reported in 2023 alone. The recent sightings are just the latest in a string of mysterious events at the mountain that date back thousands of years. The mountain is associated with various different legends in Vedic tradition. It's actually said to be the landing place of the god Ravana. It was said that he could actually fly this device and land on the top of it. Danigala Mountain is also connected with the Buddha, in fact. There's a cave in the side of this mountain which has a statue of the Buddha, and it's said that he originally used this area as a kind of way to explore the different astral planes. The Buddha is believed to have lived during the sixth or fifth century BC. And according to ancient Buddhist stories, he demonstrated the ability to teleport instantly from one location to another. And as far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, early accounts of the Buddha sound very much like descriptions of an extraterrestrial. According to some of the earliest Sanskrit texts, the first Buddha that ever walked the Earth was nine feet tall, had light blue skin, and his arms reached all the way down to his knees. So, that to me, is eternally fascinating because it would support the idea that Buddha was an extraterrestrial. Is it possible that the Buddha was an otherworldly being who landed near Danigala Mountain as told in local legends? Perhaps clues can be found in a mysterious petroglyph found less than 100 miles away in Northern Sri Lanka called the "Sakwala Chakraya." The Sakwala Chakraya carving in Sri Lanka is carved onto this rock face, and there's actually carved stone seats on the opposite side for people to sit there and gaze into it. Now, traditionally, it's like a cosmological map that the ancient people there would talk about, but could it be something else? Because the symbols on it are very unusual. The name "Sakwala Chakraya" means "the wheel of the universe." Locals believe that this is a stargate. That Buddha used this three times to go to other planets. Could the mysterious carving found in Sri Lanka indicate the presence of an ancient stargate, as legend suggests? And if so, might there be a connection with Danigala Mountain?
