Taj Mahal

‘The greatest testament to love’ is what most people say. The ruler who built the Taj Mahal had in his library a book of Sufi mysticism. In this book there is a diagram of what apparently God’s throne room in heaven looks like. It just so happens that the Taj Mahal’s floor plan corresponds exactly to this throne room diagram. I’ll give you one try to guess where the ruler who built the Taj Mahal is buried. How very romantic, oh yea, his wife is buried next to him so I guess that makes it a grand testament to love. Funny that the same ruler was imprisoned by his own son and could see the Taj Mahal from his prison cell. In all honesty, as beautiful as it is, and as wonderful as the marble is, the Taj Mahal is an epic waste. In my eyes it could only be rectified if it was turned into a library. And on top of it, the inside of it smelled worse than a men’s locker room after an overtime hockey game
