| Description: |
| Built four hundred years ago as a tribute to Emperor Shah Jahan’s beloved third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died in childbirth, the Taj Mahal was an undertaking of unprecedented extravagance and beauty. Upwards of 20,000 workers toiled to create the astounding feat of engineering, which became a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1983. In this captivating program, discover how the famous structure that we see today is only a fraction of what was originally built, and watch as a team of historical detectives search for clues to the original Taj Mahal and investigate the myth of a second Taj Mahal, built not in white, but black, marble. |
