The Taj Mahal is a beautiful white marble mausoleum in the city of Agra, India It is widely considered to be one of the greatest architectural masterpieces in the world and is listed as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World Every year, the Taj Mahal receives visits from between four and six million tourists from all over the world Interestingly, less than 500,000 of those visitors are from overseas; the vast majority are from India itself

UNESCO has designated the building and its grounds as an official World Heritage Site, and there is much concern that the sheer volume of foot traffic may have a negative impact on this wonder of the world Still, it is hard to

blame people in India for wanting to see the Taj, since the growing middle class there finally has the time and leisure to visit their country’s great treasure

The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (1628 - 1658) in honor of the Persian princess Mumtaz Mahal, his beloved third wife She died in 1632 while bearing their fourteenth child, and Shah Jahan never really recovered from the loss He poured his energy into designing and building the most beautiful tomb ever known for her, on the southern banks of the Yamuna River

It took some 20,000 artisans more than a decade to build the Taj Mahal complex The white marble stone is inlaid with floral details carved from precious gems In places, the stone is carved into delicate vined screens called pierce work so that visitors can see into the next chamber All of the floors are inlaid with patterned stone, and incised painting in abstract designs adorns the walls The artisans who did this incredible work were supervised by an entire committee of architects, headed by Ustad Ahmad Lahauri The cost in modem values was about 53 billion rupees ($827 million US) Construction of the mausoleum was completed around 1648

Aging is the process of growing old It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or accident does not kill it prematurely The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat Plants are too, but the signs are much harder to detect

Most body plants grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood They reach their peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood After that they begin to decline Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and more brittle In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more flexible This can make moving very painful

Aging is not a uniform process Different parts of the body wear out at the different rates There are great differences among people in their rate of aging Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age The majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they wear out
