Taj Mahal, Agra,
India...
This is no secret that Mughal ruler Shah Jahan ordered the
hands of the Taj Mahal builders to be chopped off after it was completed to
prevent him from building anything so beautiful again. But there is no written
evidence that supports this story. To make the Taj Mahal appear perfectly
straight from ground level, the architect designed the minarets to slant
slightly outward. Its structure also ensures that in the event of an earthquake
they would fall away from the mausoleum`s precious dome.
