The Real Thing
The Taj Mahal, the "crown of palaces", is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage."
Taj Mahal is the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Turkish and Indian architectural styles. In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen. The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer. - Wikipedia

Taj Mahal Dome Exterior
O Taj Mahal é um mausoléu situado em Agra, uma cidade da Índia e o mais conhecido dos monumentos do país. Encontra-se classificado pela UNESCO como Património da Humanidade. Foi recentemente anunciado como uma das Novas Sete Maravilhas do Mundo Moderno em uma celebração em Lisboa no dia 7 de Julho de 2007. A obra foi feita entre 1630 e 1652 com a força de cerca de 20 mil homens, trazidos de várias cidades do Oriente, para trabalhar no suntuoso monumento de mármore branco que o imperador Shah Jahan mandou construir em memória de sua esposa favorita, Aryumand Banu Begam, a quem chamava de Mumtaz Mahal ("A jóia do palácio"). Ela morreu após dar à luz ao 14º filho, tendo o Taj Mahal sido construído sobre seu túmulo, junto ao rio Yamuna. Assim, o Taj Mahal é também conhecido como a maior prova de amor do mundo, contendo inscrições retiradas do Corão. É incrustado com pedras semipreciosas, tais como o lápis-lazúli entre outras. A sua cúpula é costurada com fios de ouro. O edifício é flanqueado por duas mesquitas e cercado por quatro minaretes. Supõe-se que o imperador pretendesse fazer para ele próprio uma réplica do Taj Mahal original na outra margem do rio, em mármore preto, mas acabou deposto antes do início das obras por um de seus filhos. - Wikipedia

1915 Giant Russian War Tank Prototype - by Homespunmagixx


Photobucket

Photobucket"The Tzar Tank of Capt. Lebedenko - In the history of armored fighting vehicles, probably the strangest would have to be The Russian Lebedenko or Tzar Tank. Developed in the earliest days of tank development, it was not alone amongst many other strange designs. Conceived by the engineer N. Lebedenko in 1914 who at that time was employed by a private firm working for the Russian War Dept., the tank was essentially an enlarged gun carriage. Working with N. Zhukovskiy and his nephews, B. Stechkin and A. Mikulin, they designed a motorized battle machine weighing approx. 40 tons with 2 large spoked wheels in the front about 9 meters in diameter tapering in the back to a much smaller double wheel used for steering. Between, the hull of the tank �hung� from the front wheels supported on a pair of tuning-fork like arms. The large front wheels, it was hoped, would give the tank the ability to cross practically any obstacle". - Homespunmagixx

Photobucket"Na história de veículos blindados de combate, provavelmente o mais estranho de todos talvez seja o tanque russo Lebedenko ou Tzar Tank. Desenvolvido nos primeiros dias do desenvolvimento dos tanques de guerra, ele não estava sozinho entre muitos outros modelos estranhos que estavam sendo criados. Concebido pelo engenheiro N. Lebedenko em 1914 que na época era empregado de uma empresa privada que prestava serviços ao Departamento de Guerra russa, o tanque era essencialmente um canhão agigantado. Trabalhando com N. Zhukovskiy e seus sobrinhos, Stechkin B. e A. Mikulin, eles projetaram uma máquina de combate com motor pesando aprox. 40 toneladas com duas grandes rodas raiadas na frente com cerca de 9 metros de diâmetro e uma roda muito menor na traseira, que servia como direção. Com as enormes rodas dianteiras, esperava-se atravessar praticamente qualquer obstáculo. Inicialmente chamado de Nepotir, o tanque veio a ser batizado Lebedenko, o nome de seu principal criador". - Homespunmagixx

The Real Thing

..."The construction progressed pretty quick and at the end of July 1915, the Nepotir was ready for it’s first trials. Because of it’s weight and size, it was designed to be transported in sub-assemblies, to be assembled again before action at the front (like it was later envisioned for the huge German K-Wagen). This procedure was followed, and the sub-assemblies were transported to the testing ground, some 60 km from Moscow. At the re-assembly it was found out that the weight of the machine exceeded calculations with some 50%, due to the use of thicker metal. In August the test began in front of a high commission. It started well. The vehicle moved well over some firm ground, crashed a tree, but then went into a soft patch, where the small double wheel got stuck in a ditch. Soon it was obvious that the engines were to small, as they were unable to free the rear double wheel. After this fiasco, two of the designers, Mikulin and Stechkin, worked on equipping the vehicle with more powerful engines, but this plan was never fulfilled. The military had decided against the project. It was simply too expensive, it had thus far cost some 250.000 roubles. Also the vehicle (and then primarily it’s wheels) was deemed to be too vulnerable to artillery fire, which probably was quite true. (And by this time both France and Britain were near to completing new types of all-terrain armoured fighting vehicles, running on caterpillar tracks.)
The Lebedenko stood there, bogged down, for the rest of the war, but was finally scrapped in 1923". - read the complete text at: Landships.Freeservers.Com/Lebedenko
