Evidence: The new 7 wonders of the world

The Taj Mahal, built from 1631 to 1654, is a collection of buildings located in Agra, a
city of Uttar Pradesh, India, built by Shah Jahan, emperor of the Mughal dynasty. The
Taj Mahal was built in honor of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died giving birth
to his 14thchild.Before his death, the emperor's beloved wife told him his last wishes,
which were to build his tomb, to marry again, to care for and love his children very
much, and to visit his tomb annually on the anniversary of his death ... The emperor,
after 8 days and 8 nights of depression and confinement, without any food or drink, he
decides to build the most beautiful tomb the world has ever seen, so that everyone will
remember the name of his beloved wife and remain as a testimony of his great love for
her. This was how the Taj Mahal was built, the most beautiful mausoleum in the world,
covered in white marble, and adorned at different points by precious stones from all
over the world ... and today, perhaps, represents the greatest construction made by love
towards a woman.
Selection process or contest: In order to choose the new Seven Wonders of the Modern
World, the Swiss-Canadian Bernard Weber, inspired by the seven wonders of the
ancient world, set out the initiative to plan an international competition so that any
citizen of the world can select through a vote such monuments for Medium of the
mobile phone with text messages, via e-mail, through certain TVchannels. For this, the
traveler and aircraft lover, Weber, created, in early 2005, the New Open World
Foundation.Initially, two hundred (200) constructions, which fulfilled the condition of
having been created by the hand of man until the year 2000, were put to a vote,
regardless of their age or place of origin. In 2005the list of constructions was reduced to
seventy-seven (77), and at the end of the same year there were only twenty-one (21).
The voting ended on July 7th, 2007 (at 07h 07m 07s to be exact), at which time the
monuments will be announced to the world to be the Seven New Wonders of the World
in the third millennium. The most modern constructions, built in the twentieth century
were the most disadvantaged in the results. This was how the Taj Mahal of India stayed
on the final list. Unfortunately, that opaque said wonder is the huge garbage that can be
seen in the face that don’t show the tourist photos of the construction, which at one
point could be observed in the film Slumdog Millionaire (Who wants to be a
millionaire) which was filmed in India.
