what is under the Taj Mahal - BR Indian facts

 Hey guys today , I will tell about  Taj Mahal, and herewe can see a mysterious passage on the floor that goes directly underground. Now, if we take a closer look, it is not onlylocked with meshed metal doors, but if you look inside the doors, it has been coveredwith wooden boards. This not only means that you are not allowed to enter this passage, but you are also not even allowed to see what's inside. Where is this underground passage going? This is located just outside the main structureof Taj Mahal, but if we walk inside the Taj Mahal, you can see yet another massive passagethat goes underground. This is also locked, but there is a sign thatsays don't stop here or take pictures of this closed passage. Why should a sealed passage, not be photographed? Does Taj Mahal really have a secret basementunderneath? Authorities reluctantly accept that Taj Mahaldoes have an underground area and they say that there is a chamber which contains thetombs of King Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz. But at ground level, we can also see two moretombs which are also the tombs of the same King and Queen. Why would any dead person need two tombs,one at ground level and other in the underground? They say that the underground chamber andtombs are also made of white marble, just like the rest of the Taj Mahal, which is entirelymade of white marble. But is the Taj Mahal, made completely outof white marble? To understand the truth, let's go to a sidewhere visitors never go. We have to go into the nearby river, and thenobserve what's going on. You can see that it has a huge base whichis not made of white marble, but is made of red sandstone. In fact all the structures surrounding theTaj Mahal are made of red sandstone. This is best visible from the river side. Remember the underground passage which wassealed off in plain sight? This is also located on the river side - Thepassage is clearly made of red sandstone, but look at the material on the floor, thisis also red sandstone. On the river side, there is something veryinteresting hiding in plain sight - Did you notice this strange rectangle on the basement? This is one of the entrances that directlyleads into the underground zone of Taj Mahal. How do we know this? Because an American Architect by the nameof Marvin Mills took clear pictures of this in 1974, and it had wooden doors, but waslocked, so he couldn't see what was inside. He took a small piece of wood from the doorand sent it for radio carbon dating and the result showed that the wood pre-dates TajMahal by at least 250 years. Immediately after this information hit thenewspapers, authorities removed the wooden door and sealed it off with bricks and plaster,which is why it appears in a different color now. Why is the government repeatedly sealing offall the entrances leading to the underground zone of Taj Mahal? Authorities have come up with a rather strangeexplanation. According to them, the basement contains mummifiedbodies of the King and Queen. If these bodies are exposed to the atmosphere,they will get contaminated. They say this is why all the entrances tothe basement have been completely sealed off, to keep the basement airtight. This is really strange because the floor ofthe Taj Mahal is full of ventilation shafts which directly go underground. If you look through, they are so deep, thatit just becomes dark. If authorities are really preventing the exposureof the mummies, which are already sealed inside marble tombs, why did they leave these ventsopen? Why do they have to close only the biggerholes, through which human beings can enter? It's easy to understand that authorities don'tcare about the air going in, but just don't want human beings to enter the undergroundzone. If the basement of Taj Mahal merely containsthe tombs of the King and Queen, why do we see multiple passages to access the same chamber? And why does the carbon dating evidence onthe wooden door show that it was created centuries before the Taj Mahal? Is it possible that the basement and the restof the structures around the Taj Mahal were built centuries before King Shah Jahan? To understand this, we have to read the bookcalled Padshahnama written by the court historians of King Shah Jahan. This book explains the King's decision tobuild Taj Mahal in memory of the Queen, but the same book actually proves that the restof the structures around it were already in place. It explicitly mentions that King Shah Jahandid not construct the Taj Mahal on a vacant land, but instead bought the ancestral palaceor mansion from another King called Jai Singh, and then constructed the white marble structurein that place. This is very intriguing because if King ShahJahan, wanted to build the Taj Mahal, he could have built it anywhere in the same area, theentire area is still vacant. But instead, he chose to buy an existing structureand built the Taj Mahal on it. Why did he do this? Because constructing the Taj Mahal, the whitemarble structure itself is a monumental project. In fact, King Shah Jahan almost became bankruptbecause of it. If he chose to build the Taj Mahal on a vacantland, especially near the river, the expenses and efforts would double because he wouldhave to create a massive foundation. The aerial view, actually confirms that thebasement and the rest of the structures were built a long time before the Taj Mahal. All the ancient structures were built completelyout of Red Sandstone and bricks and resemble a fort. These were merely modified by King Shah Jahanby adding white marble domes on top. This is a very clever architectural modification,because we cannot understand this from the ground view at all. Now, let's go back to the underground zoneof Taj Mahal. It is clear that this zone predates Taj Mahal,but what's inside? Is it possible that the basement actuallyholds an ancient secret, which the authorities do not want us to find out? Did you notice the coins strewn on top ofthe sealed passage? These are religious offerings by locals, whobelieve that the underground structure is a temple of ancient Gods. Locals refer to this temple as the Badalgarhtemple, and claim that it stretches underground for many, many miles. So, I searched Google maps for Badalgarh,and the closest Badalgarh is about 270 miles away. Can an ancient temple stretch undergroundfor 270 miles? This seems kind of impossible, so I beganhunting the nearby areas, and then I find something very interesting at this magnificentfort called the Agra fort. This is just 2 miles away from Taj Mahal. The original name of Agra fort was Badalgarh,this is confirmed by historians and archeologists. But again, we can see the same pattern - historiansclearly state this structure was merely modified by King Akbar, who is the grandfather of KingShah Jahan. You can see that while the main structuresare made of red sandstone, the domes are all made of different material. This is a breathtaking fort, but there isonly one thing I am looking for: An underground passage or at least a small tunnel. And, not surprisingly: There is a huge rectangularpassage that goes straight underground, and has meshed doors, but again you can see thatit's locked. I am told by the tour guide that this is infact an old passage that goes underground, and is not used any more but has been lockedby authorities to prevent anyone from falling in and having accidents. Now, the problem is, it is locked from theinside of the passage, this is why you don't see a key hole on this side of the lock. This means that at least one person is insidethis passage, as we speak, there should be no doubt about this. Who is using these underground facilitiesand why? And again, why do we see similar ventilationshafts going vertically down all over the Agra fort as well? And here, in plain sight, we can see stairsthat go down. As usual, this is also locked, but at leastwe can see what's inside. This is not just a small tunnel, but you cansee a huge volume,  and there is something very interesting here: A dome shapedarch, very typical of Mughal architecture. The first look into this forbidden zone showsthat these constructions may not be ancient, they were in fact built by King Akbar or byhis descendants. And then, I manage to peep through a hole. Here we can see some solid evidence that theunderground structures belong to ancient times, the 8 faceted pillar, with a square base whichis found in almost all ancient Indian temples. In fact, there is a name for this in ancientIndian texts, it is called astakona skambha. You can see these multi-faceted pillars inalmost any ancient temple in India, even the musical pillars of Hampi, are multifaceted. Note that the pillar is also made of red sandstone- the same material which makes up Taj Mahal's basement. And these are newer brick walls built centurieslater, modifying the ancient underground structure. And look at this area, a similar octagonalpillar has been removed because it was interfering with the newer brick construction. It is evident that king Akbar or Shah Jahanconstructed these newer walls , which is why they look fresh, but the pillar looks mucholder. This proves that there is an ancient undergroundstructure that is being hidden from us, on top of which both this fort and the Taj Mahalare built. Remember I said, the distance between theTaj Mahal and Agra fort is about 2 miles. This is how the Taj Mahal looks from the Agrafort. This means a vast underground city stretchesbetween them, much like the underground city of Ellora caves. So, what do you think? Why do we have a sealed basement inside theTaj Mahal? What is behind this entry way that goes underground? Why are the locals worshipping this passage? What about the radio carbon dating of thewooden door? Why did authorities immediately cover it withbricks? How do we explain these ventilation shafts? Why is this door locked on the inside at theAgra Fort, which is miles away from Taj Mahal? What about the ancient pillar found inside? More importantly, why are all these placeslocked? In my mind, there is no doubt, that there is a secret underground facility of some sort, an ancient mystery kept hidden from us.
