¿Sabía que Sha Jahan planeó una vez construir otro Taj Mahal en su imperio?El Taj Mahal es famoso por su excepcional arquitectura, en la que se mezclan elementos de diversas influencias de todo el mundo, como la magnificencia de los estilos arquitectónicos mogol, persa e islámico.Sha Jahan, emperador reinante del Imperio mogol, estaba sumido en la tristeza tras la muerte de su amada esposa, Mumtaz Mahal. Como regalo de despedida, el emperador encargó la construcción de un gran mausoleo de mármol blanco.Una vez terminado, el Taj Mahal se erguía a orillas del río Yamuna, impresionando a quienes contemplaban su maravillosa fachada resplandeciente bajo el sol radiante. Un estanque reflectante realzaba sus perfecciones, pero fue el diseño simétrico del mausoleo lo que cautivó a muchos. La simetría podía apreciarse en cada rincón del complejo, excepto en la extravagante cámara sepulcral de Mumtaz Mahal: el diseño simétrico se rompió cuando, años más tarde, se añadió el cenotafio de Sha Jahan.Algunos dicen que fue intencionado, mientras que otros afirman que Sha Jahan nunca tuvo intención de ser enterrado junto a su esposa. La leyenda dice que el emperador planeaba construirse otro mausoleo que reflejara el Taj Mahal; debía estar enfrente y ser de mármol negro. Sin embargo, la veracidad de esta leyenda sigue siendo motivo de debate. Las fuentes antiguas se contradicen, lo que puede confundir a los lectores curiosos.Pero eso está a punto de cambiar. Con este libro de historia totalmente nuevo, usted podrá explorar fácilmente los apasionantes acontecimientos que condujeron a la construcción de las siete maravillas del mundo moderno.He aquí solo una pequeña parte de lo que descubrirá:El lado oscuro de la construcción de la Gran Muralla China.Los diferentes tipos de espectáculos que se celebraban en el Coliseo.El redescubrimiento de Machu Picchu y su identidad errónea.Los misterios de los templos de Chichén Itzá.Cómo los nabateos excavaron a mano su ciudad en los acantilados.Cómo el Taj Mahal cambia de color durante el día.Cómo se instaló el Cristo Redentor en la montaña.¡Y mucho más!Desplácese hacia arriba y haga clic en el botón añadir al carrito para saber más sobre las siete maravillas del mundo moderno.
