The Pyramids Of Giza
Step back in time as you witness one of mankind's wonderful creations. The great pyramid of giza is a true masterpiece and has earned the title of a "wonder". It was built with such precision that no modern technology can recreate it with the same accuracy. To start off with, a few historical facts about the pyramids. It was built around 2584 BC. It is the oldest of the seven wonders of the world. Around a 100,000 workers were employed to construct the pyramids. It is believed that it was built as a tomb for King Khufu and was constructed over a 20-year period.
There are many underlying mysteries about the purpose of the pyramids and its significance. Many are drawn to the pyramid of Giza because of their interests with its architecture, passage system , astronomical alignment, etc. People (including me) also believe that the pyramids were built with the help of some sort of extraterrestrial technology which is a great topic to do some research on.

The Taj Mahal
Another man-made wonder is the Taj Mahal. It is located in India. It is widely recognized as a jewel of muslim art and one of the universally admired masterpieces. I even got a chance to visit this wonderful monument 5 years ago. I was awestruck by its incredible beauty. Its stunning architectural charm cannot be described in words, particularly at dawn and sunset.
I even got a chance to learn about its history too. The Taj mahal was built by king Shah Jahan during 1632. He built it in the memory of his dear wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It is the ultimate tribute to love. What can be more romantic than an emperor building a monument costing millions, in the memory of his wife?
It is made out of pure, white marble. The king who built it employed 20,000 workers to complete it within 22 years. I would highly recommend you guys to visit it.
