Thank you for all the recommendations! I’m happy to say we visit Kerala, Jaipur and Udaipur. Our next upload will be Jaipur and we found so much there it’s practically going to be a documentary. I’m predicting our best episode yet. We hope you catch it.
ancient India used to have lot of excellent architectures better than this one. during Islamic rule in India especially in Mughal period about 47000 temples and several other structures were destroyed. others were demolished by the European rulers. that's why India hardly has any ancient structures left in North India. however there are quite a lot of them in South India especially states of Karnataka and Tamilnadu.
Thank you for sharing! I wish we could see those structures. I also wish we could see every inch of India. We do go to south India. Looking forward to sharing that video!
Yes, the first mosque in Delhi was built using the stone from 60 Hindu (and perhaps Buddhist and Jain) temples that the pre-Mughal Mohammedans, the Afghan Delhi Sultanate, destroyed! In fact, in the 19th Century a Mughal Prince and scholar argued that the Qutb Minar tower - which was supposedly built by the Delhi Sultans - was actually a Hindu astronomical study tower. This is because the tower is covered in non-Mohammedan symbols etc. The Afghans were too simple to build such a tower, they presumably converted the Hindu scientific tower into a Minaret! Contrary to the countless Eurocentric myths that totally distort true Indian History and achievements, conceptual Philosophy originated in India with the Upanishads centuries before the Miletians (Thales, Anaximander etc. - who were connected to India by the Persian Empire). My own work synthesizing Science and Mysticism shows that the core Vedantic Philosophy remains scientifically valid as is recognized by many New Age scientists investigating Consciousness and related Psychic Phenomena which Western Materialism cannot explain and so they pretend do not exist. Printing books using Block Printing was introduced by Indian Buddhist Missionaries to China. Prior to the Mohammedan invasions, Hindu India led the world in Science - as 11th Century Moorish historian of Science Al-Andalusi wrote. The Medieval Arabs called Mathematics Hindisat - Art of the Hindus. What the Renaissance West called modern Mathematics was in fact Ancient Hindu Mathematics. Modern Arithmetic - the decimal place-value system with Zero - has been called the greatest ever intellectual invention by humans (by Cambridge prof. John Barrow) and compared to humanity's discovery of creating Fire by a French scholar. It was Used in India even at the time of Asoka - 1,000 years before the Arabs [although Westerners mistake it as Arabic as they copied Arab translations]. Doing sums such as 27x14 in your head appeared ,magical to late medieval Italians who watched mathematicians do such 'tricks' at fairs. Along with Zero and modern numbers, Indians invented Negative and Imaginary numbers. Modern Algebra and Analysis (as Henry Colebrooke showed in 1817) are actually derived from Ancient Indian Bijaganita (seed counting) algebra - Persian al-Khwarizmi merely translated Indian Algebra and Astronomy as he did with Indian Arithmetic. Even Infinitesimal Calculus was invented in India by Bhaskara II and Madhava, who live 500 and 200 years before Newton. Trigonometry and the Sine Function was learnt by the Europeans from Aryabhatta's great work of 499c.e. the Aryabhatiya. This was translated into Latin centuries before Copernicus and included Heliocentric models as did other Indian astronomical works preceding Copernicus. Aryabhatta conceived of Relative Motion 900 years before Oresme. The 'Fibonacci' series was known in India long before Fibonacci [Leonardo of Pisa - who translated al-Khwarzimi's Arab translations of Indian Maths into Latin]. Medieval Indian astronomers beat Europeans by centuries to achievements later credited to Tycho Brahe etc. Indeed, as Charles Seife wrote [without knowing that Infinitesimal Calculus also was invented in India before Newton] - the Scientific Revolution of Descartes (Analyltic Geometry) and Newton's Physics would have been impossible without Indian Maths. The Iberian Voyages of Discovery actually used Indian Astronomy inherited from the Moors in Spain for Navigation to the New World and Indian Ocean, Pacific etc. In the 18th Century French astronomer Bailly and Scot astronomer Playfair, independently, showed that the Ancient Brahmin Astronomy was as good for all practical purposes (e.g. predicting eclipses) as the latest European models of Meyer and Cassini.
I also forgot to mention the Deccan Famine of 1630-32 associated with Shah Jahan's campaign in the Deccan which killed millions. I had thought that many had died in Bengal also due to the tribute stolen from Bengal by Shah Jahan to build this vanity project. The Mughals of course boasted ancestry from the barbaric Timur Lenk as well as Genghis Khan.
I have no idea how beautiful the Taj Mahal is until you showed it to me. I get satisfied watching the world's tourist attractions through you. Count on me to follow you through wherever you go. Keep safe.
How cool would it be if we ticked off one of those seven wonders of the world together? Maybe we could do the Great Wall of China or Petra in Jordan?! ❤
As far as I have seen India, there isn’t an architecture better than the taj mahal at present. Its just surreal. As an Indian, we tend to neglect the taja mahal that we will see it someday and wasnt even much excited while going to Agra. But after experiencing what it is, would recommend everyone to go and see. Its a place where no picture or video can justify its beauty.
When Taj Mahal was focused, boom!! you did it well guys!! It was really beautiful. guys, guys, no skipping of ads for the Lockwoods. Let us continue supporting them!
The actual Indian architecture can be seen in south Indian temples like brihadishwara temple, Ajanta n Ellora caves etc ofcourse most of them were destroyed by mughals still they could not destroy them completely that's how much talented the ancient Indians were so the Hindu architecture.!!
Mumtaz was the 4th wife of Shah Jahan. Apart from Mumtaz, Shah Jahan also had at least 6 more wives and along with it, there were 8000 concubines in his harem. Before Mumtaz married to Shahjahan, Mumtaz was the wife of Shahjahan's Subedar Afghan Khan. To marry Mumtaz, Shah Jahan had killed Mumtaz's first husband. Mumtaz also had a son from Afghan Khan. Mumtaz died after the birth of her 14th child. After Mumtaz's death, Shah Jahan married Mumtaz's sister, Farzana.
until 1857 taj mahal used to be studded with diamonds and precious stones before those were looted in British rule. top spire of taj mahal used to be all gold, it got looted and replaced with a brass one. indian style fruit and flower gardens were cut and british lawns were grown.
Thank you for those facts! I can’t imagine how it would shine in the light with diamonds on it. History can be very unfortunate but also very important. Thank you for sharing.
I haven't been to India before but I do have an adopted cousin who is from India. We have always treated her as a part of the family because she is ad we never looked at her as being any different from us. She actually made contact with her biological mother but her mother didn't want to have anything to do with her. At least she has been loved by a family that wanted her. I'm not sure if she has been to the Taj Mahal or not but it looks very beautiful there. Hope that you all continue to enjoy your adventures and that you always have safe travels.
Thank you and thank you for sharing part of your family story. Phil has adopted siblings and there is a story and personal journey for each of them. We wish you well!
You guys went to Delhi and missed out on Akshardham Temple (Delhi) every international officials when ever comes must visit Taj Mahal and Akshardham temple, if they are tight on time and can't see other monuments still they see these two
There is always two ways to look at things. She was basically not his first wife and since she had to bear so many children, people have a different perspective towards the emperor's feelings for her. It's basic human nature. We always look at things from our own perspective and expect everything as we are used to. However, if we try to put ourselves in the timeline and shoes of the other person, then everything changes. 🍻
Just randomly hitted to your channel and start watching vlogs back to back!! Will you guys visit Gujarat state? Keep uploading and have a good time ahead.
The original Taj Mahal was 100 times more beautiful because it was studded with precious and semi precious stones. Diamond, rubies, and many other stones were studded. But Britishers looted it all and left Taj Mahal in a miserable condition. Thereafter Indian Government repaired Taj Mahal.
Taj Mahal has not done anything special by being symmetrical. India is the birthplace of geometry and trigonometry. in any ancient Temple in India everything is absolutely symmetrical. speaking about ancient temples please visit some India is land of some of the greatest temples on earth.
We appreciate your perspective on the Taj Mahal. We found it very beautiful. And we think India is the most fascinating and influential country. So many things about modern life was born in India.
Thank you 🙏 we’re so happy you like our videos. Phil runs and owns a marketing agency while we travel. Here’s a little more info about our background: followabc.com/our-story
To all foreign tourists. Taj Mahal is an overhyped heritage site in India. Politically motivated historians created false stories about this structure. So not be fooled by all the exaggerated claims. Even a high percentage of Indians avoid visiting it. Ask the administration why the basement of the structure is sealed from people for ever.
#3 fast food on the train ? I almost missed the fact that you didn't have a sit down meal this video. I'm sure you will make up for it soon. You make traveling so easy, I just sit back and enjoy your fun -
I loved watching your video visiting India. There is more amazing things to see in India if you would visit the north eastern India. You would love to see different tribes and culture in this part of north east India. Pls visit this part.❤️
Thank you 😊 I think we went to great places for our first visit. We look forward to exploring northeast India next time. We’d also really love to see Goa. Thanks for watching us!
We visit Karala and had a wonderful time! We actually ended up visiting a synagogue that was fascinating there. I think our favorite Hindu temple we visited was in Udaipur.
I lived in Bharat for 32 years and never saw Taj. There are many grand and beautiful palaces and temples especially the south temples which makes taj look like shit.
You guys have a beautiful family. Started watching some of your videos a couple months ago. Thought I'd check out some earlier videos. I live in Eugene, Oregon. Born and raised. What's your connection to the Oregon Ducks?
@Always Be Changing yes, just found it and subscribed. Great videos. Heading to Thailand on Friday for 2 weeks. Can't wait to travel again. I work down the street from the Autzen stadium. It was cool to see you wearing a UofO visor in one of your videos. Thanks!
Actually shah japan's wife (Mumtaj mahal) asked for 3 promises not 2. 1. To take care of her children. 2. To never marry again after her death. 3. To build heaven on earth for her after her death. So Taj Mahal was built from the same ideology representing heaven on earth for his wife. Also an interesting sad fact: all the workers and labours who worked on constructing Taj Mahal, their hands were chopped off so that no one else can build such a tomb ever again.
This is Tejo Mahal, (not Taj Mahal) Tejo Mahal Originally Belonged To Jaipur Ruler Jai Singh and it was looted acquired by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. The biggest lie in history The biggest lie in the world That Taj Mahal was built by Shahjahan for love for his wife Mumtaz World's biggest historical lie Shame on the historical people who are giving the biggest lie to the people of the world!! Mumtaz was Shahjahan's 4th wife. The reason of Mumtaz's death was her 14th pregnancy. Is the number count of children define love then maybe he loved her?? That wasn't enough. After her death of Mumtaz, Shahjahan married to Farzana who was Mumtaz younger sister immediately. If he really loved Mumtaz then why did he marry to another women. That wasn't enough too. And after having so many wives, he wasn't satisfied. He had maintained physical relationships with more then 8000 women. There was NO NO NO love but LUST LUST LUST to YES definitely.
@@AlwaysBeChangingBrother be carefull from some totally negative comments about Taj Mahal actually some Islamophobic comments, they never digest the truth of Beautiful Taj Mahal bcz it was built by Islamic Ruler but still saying to haters who spread negativety kindly Accept the truth and be positive always, Love and peace 😊❤
Great question. We were fortunate to have bad weather last time we went to Rome because it helped with the crowds. I would say Asia has had the most tourist, but particularly India.
Queen died during the delivery of 14th baby.. what a romantic story 😂😢. After she died ShahJahan married Her previous Queen's sister, that's another romantic story 😂
It was. The building and architecture is stunning and the size of it is impressive. But most of all, with it being such a famous building, it’s worth it to see it in person so we can join the conversation when anyone mentions the Taj Mahal.
Is Taj Mahal worth the hype? Depends on how you see that. I noticed you praising those people who manually built those decorative stuff without modern instruments those days. Unfortunately the cruel emperor Shahajahan who built this decided to chop off the hands of all the 10,000 laborers who built that. On the beautiful queen’s story you narrated, her name is Mumtaz and she was the 8th wife of this emperor. She was already married with a child by the time this emperor set his eye on her. To marry her, he killed both her husband and kid and can imagine how happy she was to marry him. This emperor had a total of 14 wifes and he married 6 more women after she died for her love. So, is Taj Mahal worth the hype, depends on how you look into that
its hyp e or not you need to see it... obv. you going to complain since you saw it.....but the whole world dreams to get there with all fucking struggle with how annozing spammers are in india
Just an important information. The flowers the decorations all had precious Gems and gold but they were Stolen by the British. Unfortunate that no vlogger from West shares this shameful info
Thank you letting us know. I don’t think keeping that information would ever be intentional. Perhaps the local guides should share that information and then the vloggers would have the information to share.
How cool would it be if we ticked off one of those seven wonders of the world together? Maybe we could do the Great Wall of China or Petra in Jordan?! ❤
OMG, the Taj Mahal is seriously gorgeous, especially during sunrise! You describe it so beautifully, I'm dying to see it in person. It's definitely on our bucket list and we can't wait to check it off!
It’s so worth the visit! It took our breath away.
It is not Islamic Architecture it was truly Hindustan temple structure.

We visit Karala and had a wonderful time! We actually ended up visiting a synagogue that was fascinating there. I think our favorite Hindu temple we visited was in Udaipur.
Lol definitely not the Love you are thinking of after the death of Mumtaz (whose grave lies in Taj Mahal) Shah Jahan married her sister😂😂😂
😆 We keep hearing the other side of the story. I wish we knew before the episode so we could share both sides of that story.

This not true story about Taj Mahal
Yes, we’ve heard there is a lot of controversy over the real background and relationship.
Actually shah japan's wife (Mumtaj mahal) asked for 3 promises not 2.
1. To take care of her children.
2. To never marry again after her death.
3. To build heaven on earth for her after her death.
So Taj Mahal was built from the same ideology representing heaven on earth for his wife. Also an interesting sad fact: all the workers and labours who worked on constructing Taj Mahal, their hands were chopped off so that no one else can build such a tomb ever again.
We’ve heard so many variations of the story behind the Taj Mahal and we love learning more. Thank you.
💗🇮🇳❣️
This is Tejo Mahal, (not Taj Mahal) Tejo Mahal Originally Belonged To Jaipur Ruler Jai Singh and it was looted acquired by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. The biggest lie in history The biggest lie in the world That Taj Mahal was built by Shahjahan for love for his wife Mumtaz World's biggest historical lie Shame on the historical people who are giving the biggest lie to the people of the world!! Mumtaz was Shahjahan's 4th wife. The reason of Mumtaz's death was her 14th pregnancy. Is the number count of children define love then maybe he loved her?? That wasn't enough. After her death of Mumtaz, Shahjahan married to Farzana who was Mumtaz younger sister immediately. If he really loved Mumtaz then why did he marry to another women. That wasn't enough too. And after having so many wives, he wasn't satisfied. He had maintained physical relationships with more then 8000 women. There was NO NO NO love but LUST LUST LUST to YES definitely.
Thank you for sharing. We are learning so much more even after release the video.
@@AlwaysBeChangingBrother be carefull from some totally negative comments about Taj Mahal actually some Islamophobic comments, they never digest the truth of Beautiful Taj Mahal bcz it was built by Islamic Ruler but still saying to haters who spread negativety kindly Accept the truth and be positive always, Love and peace 😊❤
@@myounas4456 truth is always harsh. keep crying about islamophobia lol
#2 of all the visitors, which country had the most tourists when you were there ? U. S. Europe Asia Local
Great question. We were fortunate to have bad weather last time we went to Rome because it helped with the crowds. I would say Asia has had the most tourist, but particularly India.
nice bag
Queen died during the delivery of 14th baby.. what a romantic story 😂😢.
After she died ShahJahan married Her previous Queen's sister, that's another romantic story 😂
So... Was it worth it?
It was. The building and architecture is stunning and the size of it is impressive. But most of all, with it being such a famous building, it’s worth it to see it in person so we can join the conversation when anyone mentions the Taj Mahal.

Is Taj Mahal worth the hype? Depends on how you see that.
I noticed you praising those people who manually built those decorative stuff without modern instruments those days. Unfortunately the cruel emperor Shahajahan who built this decided to chop off the hands of all the 10,000 laborers who built that.
On the beautiful queen’s story you narrated, her name is Mumtaz and she was the 8th wife of this emperor. She was already married with a child by the time this emperor set his eye on her. To marry her, he killed both her husband and kid and can imagine how happy she was to marry him.
This emperor had a total of 14 wifes and he married 6 more women after she died for her love.
So, is Taj Mahal worth the hype, depends on how you look into that
husband speaking leave it to Biden to screw things up with out even trying -
Your Both Kids Don't speak Why ? I Think They like Rich Country
In some of our episodes, they speak a lot. Depends on their mood and this little adventure combined jet lag with an early morning wake-up :)
its hyp e or not you need to see it... obv. you going to complain since you saw it.....but the whole world dreams to get there with all fucking struggle with how annozing spammers are in india
Just an important information. The flowers the decorations all had precious Gems and gold but they were Stolen by the British. Unfortunate that no vlogger from West shares this shameful info
Thank you letting us know. I don’t think keeping that information would ever be intentional. Perhaps the local guides should share that information and then the vloggers would have the information to share.
@@AlwaysBeChanging you are right they must share this information when I went there they told us that but now may be the story changed.😁
How cool would it be if we ticked off one of those seven wonders of the world together? Maybe we could do the Great Wall of China or Petra in Jordan?! ❤
Yes yes and yes! Petra is a dream! Why do we bother traveling without each other 🤗
