| This is me pretending to tuchthe top of the Taj. |
In Agra, we saw the Taj Mahal and it was extraordinary and beautiful.
In the gardens in the front of the Taj Mahal, they had lots of fountains that are all symetrical all the way through the Taj Mahal. Around the Taj Mahal, they have trees surrounded by red concrete.In the middle of two pools of fountains, there is a concrete platform raised about four feet above the concrete walkway. One walk way went strait though and the other one curved out twice then curved in twice and that happened on both sides. The Taj Mahal looked prefectly symetrical.
In the main Taj Mahal, they have lots of patterns and stones embedded into the walls and they have lots of carvings of flowers. They embedded semi-precious stones also shaped as flowers. At the entries, they have arabic writing carved out of black marble into white marble. The four towers that are around the Taj Mahal are all leaning two % of out so if they fall they will not fall on his wife and the queen who is buried inside of it. Inside of the of the walls, it is filled with red brick surounded by mostly plaster. The Taj must have really loved his wife alot.
Sarah--sorry I didn;t write on this post sooner. It slipped by me. I'm glad to see you're so strong that you can pick the whole building up by it's dome with one hand. Good work!! And delighted to hear your description of the architecture and the decorations. I have never been to see the Taj Mahal--so have learned a lot from the descriptions and pictures you all sent me. Thanks much.
