Cement had not only been invented earlier than 600 AD but was in widespread use 600 years before (roman opus cementicium as showcased in the Pantheon, still standing today). Using cemented small stones as filling for masonry was also in widespread use, especially in city and castle walls.
Yeah, I love how the "Authenticity of information shared in this video is supposedly "thoughly verified and confirmed", yet the most OBVIOUS errors are made throughout. In regards to cement, there is evidence of cement being in use by humans throughout history, with variations of the material used up to 12,000 years ago - at the dawn of civilization - with the earliest archaeological discovery of consolidated whitewashed floors made from burned limestone and clay found in what is now modern-day Turkey. Garbage video, with garbage information.
Regarding 2:13, many centuries before the Taj Mahal construction in 1632 AD, cement had indeed already been invented long ago, because the Romans had been using cement and concrete for construction since before the end of the 2nd century BC.
Sometimes I realize that a word broken down into parts shows affiliate entities or the intention of some entities that wasn't obvious previously. Such as Is Ra El, ba na na and many others that suddenly I can't recall as if they never existed in my mind before.
So, the people who built the Taj Mahal wore high visibility vests and hard hats. Good to see OSHA is retroactively keeping workers safe throughout the centuries.
Anyone else cringe when they say we can't build it these days? No, scientists don't say it'll take over 100 years. You have an informative video but you add misinformation ruins it.

Yes CEMENT was invented in Roman Times, but we are not talking about Taj Mahal in Rome. In India the majority of mortar that was used in building stone palaces, forts or structures like Taj Mahal, had a specially made mortar, which added with sugarcane jaggery even worked as a WATER-PROOFING agent. In India traditionally there were 57 different types of mortar used for construction, and in different parts of India, they used local ingredients, added in lime stone powder.
Cement is a modern invention. Previous civilizations such as Egyptian, Persian, Roman, Indus had invented different types of mortars depending on the nearby raw materials.
@@GlobalSecularism No, roman cement is quite similar to most cement today, its not exact since the used ash from Vesuvius if I remember and we do not mine volcanoes som much ;)
Cement is a modern invention. Previous civilizations such as Egyptian, Persian, Roman, Indus had invented different types of mortars depending on the nearby raw materials.
Some sort of cement for building with stone has been around since at least the Babylonians. If you mean concrete (cement mixed with stone and aggregate) that was a Roman invention. They used it quite differently that we do as their concrete used volcanic ash an ingredient and was quite thick. It wasn't poured like modern concrete, but was pounded into the form which also had a large amount of broken rubble (largish stones, pottery, anything hard to take up space) in the middle of each wall to both reduce the amount of concrete needed and provide dead air space for insulation. This is similar to the foundation described in the video.
@hagerty1952 Roman didn't invent cement. However it was another form of mortar. Cement is a recent invention of the 18th century by French and British from the knowledge they gained from their colonies.
Double domes are not an “optical illusion”. This was a common and well-understood technique used all over the world. The US Capitol Building is a double dome, as is the dome of the Duomo in Florence Italy. It creates a concentric diaphragm that laterally braces the dome structure without the need for external buttressing.
Roman concrete, also known as opus caementicium, was invented in the late 3rd century BC. Thats somewhat earlier than the Taj Mahal. not 1532. 2:16 timestamp. This mistake throws oo doubt this entire video's validity.

The arched foundation area at 4:25 is hollow and partly flooded. There's a well-like place from which a person can look down and see multiple underground floors that are inaccessible to the public. According to legends, as recently as the 1970s those areas were not flooded and with some difficulty it was possible to explore them. There's some legends of "hundreds of rooms" that were apparently "filled with many statues of various indian gods". Or maybe it's not all the way down to the arched foundation? Could just be inside the white-walled visible platform, as even that is at least 2 stories tall. In any case, the white platform has many windows on the river side, that were bricked up by construction workers at some point in the 1980s. Also, on the river side there was a wooden door that lead to that inner space. These doors were also removed and the doorway bricked up. Also, there's a legend that the guy who ordered its construction had initially ordered an identical building constructed on the other side of the river, to be built out of black marble, but that he had conveniently died before then. This legend has been disputed however by the facts that surely he would have known that he probably couldn't afford the second building and that surely his workers would have informed him that the soil on the other side of the river is significantly softer (possibly lacking the bedrock mentioned in the video), thus preventing the construction of something as heavy.
I question your legends. Since Islam proscribes graven images, why would there be rooms full of statues of Indian gods? I think you have Islam and Hinduism unfortunately confused.
@@gaminawulfsdottir3253 The story implies that it was originally a centuries older structure that was taken over and the main structure was to some degree reconstructed to be repurposed.
Cement was invented WAY before the construction. Maybe it wasn’t known in India, but the Romans would have something to say about its supposednon-existence.
man it would be nice to see links to the publications where scientists and engineers say how this is impossible to build today. this feels like a 5th grade paper covered in red marks saying "needs citation" over and over
The minarets are leaning outwards to correct a perspective error. If they had been built straight, to the viewer standing on the ground, they would lean towards the center building. Leaning them outwards therefore makes them look straight.

When he said Taj Mahal uses much of modern day foundation building I laughed because modern day techniques are used from yesterday. Today supply and environmental impact plays a role. Back in those days people worked and didn't ask questions. Today you need land survey, permits, engineering technology and employ over paid foreigners and students because education isn't cheap never was never will
Agreed. Building heavy masonry buildings on poor alluvial soils utilizing piling systems and in some cases matt foundations. The materials and dimensions may vary, but the concepts were well understood by the time this was built. The real story here is the beautiful architecture.
@@LifeAdaEnglishWatched your whole video hoping to learn about that giant structure under the Taj Mahal only to find out it looked nothing like that. Good video but I am kind of worried that if you would lie in the thumbnail, the other information in the video you may have made up.

The structure is flanked by four pagan minarets whose origins can be traced back to the Canaanite groves, and other sacrificial and occult structures such as obelisks and references to Semiramis magic.
I know you are reading a carefully orchestrated script, which is rubbish! The Taj Mahal was not built in 18 months, by a people using basic hand tools, no power anything, no machinery etc., they did not build this structure or any of the other Old-World buildings. We supposed advanced people cannot build anything even resembling these structures. They were never tombs, none of them, anywhere in the world, what they were was machines for generating energy.
To quote George Bernard Shaw on symmetry: Consistency is the enemy of enterprise, just as symmetry is the enemy of art. The Taj might be an engineering marvel but from an artistic standpoint it's mind-numbingly dull - IMHO it's a manifestation of simplicity of Islamic worldview. That's why jazz wasn't born in a church or mosque.
1642 years after roman concrete was made, the Taj mahaul was made with a limestone paste because concrete hadn't been (invented yet) . That comment, bawhahaha!
I have worked in building construction and it really rubs me the wrong way every time someone is FACTUAL wrong about when Concrete was invented!!! Pantheon in Rome was build 120 AD. by Emperor Hadrian, You know the guy with the wall across Britain!!!!! The Temple of Pantheon was build to all the biggest Gods in Rome at the time with a magnificent dome in the great hall of worship! This dome was the biggest dome build anywhere in the World until 1960 and wait for it................ made from Concrete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So was the large part of Colosseum Rome especially the Arena, the Baths of Caracalla and many other buildings from the Roman age!! Concrete was also found in Pompeii, the city buried by the volcano Vesuvius in 79 AD. wich incidently gave some important ingredients (volcanic Ash) to the Roman Concrete!! The historical fact is Concrete was reinvented as a building material in the mid 18-hundred as Portland Cement as main ingredient of Concrete. But the oldest concrete discovered was in the floor of a hut in Israel, dated around 7000BC!! So to put a nail through this Concrete was a very old product when Taj Mahal was build!!! Kindly the Danish Viking
Yeah so about half of the claims made in the video are just straight up lies - like the simplest to mention would be cement: Just look at buildings in europe, norther africa, arabia - from the present day to many centuries before the Taj was built.
Cement not yet invented? You need to clarify that. Cement bssically predates history. Egyptians used gypsum. Romans had their water resistant forumlas. Maybe Indians were late to the party! I do not know. That would be wild.
2:21 Uuuuhhhh..., the Romans were building with cement over 2000 years ago and even had advanced cement mixes that could be poured underwater. One could say that “modern” cement hadn’t been invented, but Roman cements were often just as advanced. The Pantheon has poured cement with lightweight aggregates (like pumice stone IIRC) added to make the upper parts of the dome lighter. The gems were inset into the marble with “more tar?” Why not use “less tar?” 😂. “Mortar” is pronounced like “more-ter”.
Similar to the same way Venice was built ain’t nothing new in a world where people been observing thinking and doing for 100s of thousands of years intelligence is older than the on coming of paleness in the skin
So dumb. Sorry. But there is little remarkable about this structure. The most of what is involves the extravagant expense for a vanity project amidst crushing poverty.

Pantheon in Rome was build 120 AD. by Emperor Hadrian, You know the guy with the wall across Britain!!!!!
The Temple of Pantheon was build to all the biggest Gods in Rome at the time with a magnificent dome in the great hall of worship!
This dome was the biggest dome build anywhere in the World until 1960 and wait for it................
made from Concrete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So was the large part of Colosseum Rome especially the Arena, the Baths of Caracalla and many other buildings from the Roman age!!
Concrete was also found in Pompeii, the city buried by the volcano Vesuvius in 79 AD. wich incidently gave some important ingredients (volcanic Ash) to the Roman Concrete!!
The historical fact is Concrete was reinvented as a building material in the mid 18-hundred as Portland Cement as main ingredient of Concrete.
But the oldest concrete discovered was in the floor of a hut in Israel, dated around 7000BC!!
So to put a nail through this Concrete was a very old product when Taj Mahal was build!!!

I don't understand why you say that we couldn't build something like that today??? Shouldn't we be able to build something even more impressive?
Yeah so about half of the claims made in the video are just straight up lies - like the simplest to mention would be cement:
Just look at buildings in europe, norther africa, arabia - from the present day to many centuries before the Taj was built.
Welp, now I know of another channel to avoid.
Cement not yet invented?
You need to clarify that. Cement bssically predates history. Egyptians used gypsum. Romans had their water resistant forumlas.
Maybe Indians were late to the party! I do not know. That would be wild.
Indian also have a substitute to cement that is limestone
Cement is made out of limestone. Cooked out in the kiln using other minerais as well.
2:21 Uuuuhhhh..., the Romans were building with cement over 2000 years ago and even had advanced cement mixes that could be poured underwater. One could say that “modern” cement hadn’t been invented, but Roman cements were often just as advanced. The Pantheon has poured cement with lightweight aggregates (like pumice stone IIRC) added to make the upper parts of the dome lighter.
The gems were inset into the marble with “more tar?” Why not use “less tar?” 😂. “Mortar” is pronounced like “more-ter”.
Persians built a masterpiece at that time👌🏽
The Vatican shames them all. Take a tour of the inside of that.
So they invented the orange vest when they dug down to the bedrock. Good for them and there safety concerns.
There should be two. One black also , on the other side. In pair. For the king. One fir the queen.
Similar to the same way Venice was built ain’t nothing new in a world where people been observing thinking and doing for 100s of thousands of years intelligence is older than the on coming of paleness in the skin
you have onfused me. wooden pilling does not come in 'layers', it is vertical, always.
mortar?❌
More tar! ✅
So dumb. Sorry. But there is little remarkable about this structure. The most of what is involves the extravagant expense for a vanity project amidst crushing poverty.
Great video! I have always be fasianted by the question that how in ancinet time they build the building perfect symmetrical with out any modern equipment , can u make a video explaining this?
Also, The outer dome is not supported by the inner dome.
The THUMBNAIL is CLICK BAIT!
