2. The pillars surrounding Taj Mahal are slightly tilted outwards so that in the event of an earthquake they will fall away from the tomb !!!
3. Over 1,000 elephant were used to transport building materials during the construction !!!
4. In all, 28 types of precious and semi-precious stones were inlaid into the white marble !!!
5. The Taj Mahal in India is perfectly symmetrical, except for one thing. The two tombs inside are not equal in size. This is because the male tomb has to be larger than the female tomb !!!
6. It took 22 years and 20,000 workers to complete the Taj Mahal !!!
7. Emperor ordered to chop off the hands of the workers who had constructed the Taj Mahal so no one could make anything like it !!!
