Taj Mahal vs Shahzadeh Hossein (17th Century)

Originally posted by Beylerbeyi Taj Mahal was built by a Persian arcihitect. Mughal empire was very persianised. Thier food, culture etc, language was persian Taj Mahal was built by many architects from various places. It does not matter where they come from, important thing is that it was a Mughal building, it was not Persian (at that time under Safavid dynasty). American hydrogen bomb was built by Edward Teller, a Hungarian. So was it a Hungarian bomb? Mughal food, culture and language was not Persian either. Mughals were an original culture, which belongs more to India/Pakistan than anyone else.    You'll actually find it was built by many architects with the head architect being Turkish, trained by the Ottoman master Sinan. I don't know if he were the head architect (I doubt that), but one of the architests, Ismail Han Rumi was from Turkey. He built the dome of the building.

Mughals were a central asian/persian people so every thing they brought came from there, it was not native to India, of course with time they adopted indian influences as well. A building like Taj Mahal is of course 80% persian, with minor 20% local influences
