Taj Mahal is a pre-Islamic fort. The construction and architecture reveals that. What is now Taj Mahal was a part of a huge building. Mongols when they overrun India were uncivilized nomadic barbarians never seen any buildings but used to live in tents ( they still do, go to Uzbeckistan and see). They could never built Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal was a temple of Shiva. Mongol emperor Shahjehan took it back from Jagat Singh and reconstructed as a Mosque, but with a wrong direction (facing East rather than West).

Shah Jehan had no wife named Mumtaj Mahal or Taj Mahal. The name of the quuen who was buried next to him was named Arjumand Zamani.
