Taj Mahal May Disappear

As you know, I like Taj Mahal a lot.And I think that I am not the only one. Unfortunately, however, I have heard bad news about this piece of beauty- it may collapse in 2 years time. This means that, if you want to visit it and you want to take some pictures of it, you better hurry.


The reason.

Well, the foundations of the building are made of wood and because this wood is now very very old, it starts to decay. How much will it last, no one knows.

What the authorities do, in order to prevent this?

They cover the foundations with different substances that should protect them to shrunk. Unfortunately, such measures can help, but only partly. Big reconstruction should be done, if they do not want this world wonder to collapse.

What is the best case scenario?

Well, as you can imagine, the building is very old and very heavy, so these foundations should be reinforced in some way. If that is not possible, the building may become slightly on one side or even destroyed.
