Why the secret door of the Great Sphinx is never opened
Taj Mahal in India there are countless stores all over the world that haven't been open for decades and even centuries the question is why it seems that nowadays you can open any door you want the truth is that some doors were sealed for a grave reason and so far nobody has found out what treasures and Mysteries they hide here are four doors that keep their secrets all too well the Taj Mahal first up we've got the Taj Mahal in India one of the most romantic places in the world Shah Jahan commissioned it in 1631 and dedicated it to his third wife who he loved like crazy they were married for 19 years and had a whopping 14 kids together but unfortunately she passed away while giving birth to their last baby Shah Jahan was heartbroken and decided to build an epic tomb to remember her by the construction took a whopping 20 years to finish the building has quite an interesting layout the design is super unusual with these four massive 130 fin tall minarets that stand on the corners of a huge platform they're not just there for looks back in the 17th century Architects were having some serious issues with buildings collapsing under their own weight so the Chief Architect of the Taj Mahal made sure to place those minarets as far away from the tomb as possible and he even tilted them in a way so that if they did fall they wouldn't wreck the rest of the Taj Mahal talk about planning ahead the Taj Mahal is hiding some crazy Secrets there are sealed rooms all over the place that nobody is allowed to enter and if you check out photos of the building from the Riverside you can spot two basements but guess what they're sealed up too nobody knows what's inside or why they've been locked up since the time of Shah Jahan apparently there's a good reason why those rooms are off limits some researchers think that they were built using marble which turns into a different substance called calcium carbonate if it's exposed to carbon dioxide and when that happens little bits of marble start chipping off like crazy to make matters worse there's no air flowing into these rooms that means that if too much CO2 builds up in the basement the four minarets could collapse but wait there's more some people think that the body of Shah jahan's wife can be found in one of these sealed up rooms in pristine condition why not who knows what the mysterious rooms might keep
