00:00You have been to the Taj Mahal?

00:01No.

00:01Oh, it is the most marvellous building in the entire world, Your Majesty.

00:05It was built by Shah Jahan to remember his dead wife, who died at childbirth during their 14th child.

00:10Goodness.

00:11He brought the greatest architects from Persia, Afghanistan, to build the Taj Mahal.

00:16I'd very much like to see it.

00:17Oh, it is beautiful, Your Majesty.

00:19It's all white marble.

00:21All that beauty for the dead queen.

00:23Shah Jahan also built the Red Fort, the Gardens of Shalimar, the Beacock Throne.

00:27It is the most beautiful throne in all the world.

00:29And inside the throne was the Kohinoor.

00:32But I have the Kohinoor. I wear it as a brooch.

00:34Do you?

00:34Yes. It wasn't very shiny, though Albert had it recut.

00:38What happened to the Beacock Throne?

00:39They smashed it up.

00:40How awful.

00:41The British soldiers have taken the jewels from the Taj Mahal.

00:44British soldiers?

00:45Oh, yes. After the mutiny.

00:47But this is terrible.

00:48A servant and an Indian. What on earth does she see in him?

00:52Well, he is rather handsome.

00:55What happened to Shah Jahan?

00:57He was overthrown by his son and died in Agra Fort.

01:01They buried him in the Taj Mahal with his wife Mumtaz.

01:04They also wrote an inscription,

01:05Here lies Shah Jahan who left this world for the banquet hall of eternity.

01:10The banquet hall of eternity.

01:11I rather like that idea.

01:13I rather like that idea.
