About this ebook
This title takes readers on an incredible journey to the T?j Mahal, one of the world's most extraordinary, yet endangered, Troubled Treasures. Young travel enthusiasts are sure to appreciate the large, colorful photos of this giant marble monument rising along the banks of the Yamuna River. Images let students discover individual elements of the site, such as the great gate, the garden, the mosque, the tomb itself, and its intricate pietra dura. Readers will also become familiar with UNESCO and why the T?j Mahal was named a World Heritage site. Colorful maps show where in the world and India the T?j Mahal is located. From the beginning of the Mughal dynasty to the love story of Sh?h Jah?n and Mumt?z Mahal to today's conservation efforts, the chapter text highlights the T?j Mahal's history and its significance to Indian culture. Tips for how to be a conscious tourist encourage kids to consider responsible environmental actions in the tomb complex and at home. Informative sidebars and fun facts offer additional opportunities for readers to explore the T?j Mahal, while bolded glossary terms, phonetic spellings, and an index make this adventurous volume accessible!
