Provided this is true (something by no means absurd), thats still quite a mental leap. He 'debunks' in the rest of this section the falsehoods surrounding the name of the Taj Mahal. But lets for a second assume that the entire word is a lie, lets play the semantics game. That still doesn't necessarily mean the building is a lie. Words have a way of changing from time to time, from society to society. It wouldn't be the first time that something was remembered by a name other than what it was originally called. Like, say, the Mughal Empire itself..which was self stylized Gurkhani. Remembered as Mughal because thats what they were known as by the the Persians- a corruption of the word 'Mongol'. Notice how the name we call it has changed, but that Empire is still the same historical Empire, not a Hindu Temple suddenly. My example may seem arbitrary, but the point is he is jumping to wild conclusions from the very beginning. This conflation of semantics and historicity and his bad grasp on both topics is exemplified in this point:
- 1. The term Tajmahal itself never occurs in any mogul court paper or chronicle even in Aurangzeb's time. The attempt to explain it away as Taj-i-mahal is therefore, ridiculous.
Well, no, her name wasn't 'Mumtaz Mahal'. Thats the English transliteration of ممتاز محل. Arjumand Begum aka Mumtaz Mahal was a Persian princess from the early 17th century, I would be shocked if her name ended with the letter 'Z'. This isn't even badhistory, this is badlogic.
- 4. Since the lady's name was Mumtaz (ending with 'Z') the name of the building derived from her should have been Taz Mahal, if at all, and not Taj (spelled with a 'J').
Wow, it's almost like trees can live for a long time before they are repurposed into thing by Humans much, much younger than them. Apparently a piece of wood from a door was carbon dated by American Scientists (citation needed), and it is much much older than Shah Jahan, the emperor who commissioned the building. But Oak then makes the claim the edifice was built in 1155, 500 years earlier. No mention of American Scientists either. I just don't see how you can possibly come to that claim of the unsourced dating of a door.
- 34. A wooden piece from the riverside doorway of the Taj subjected to the carbon 14 test by an American Laboratory, has revealed that the door to be 300 years older than Shahjahan,since the doors of the Taj, broken open by Muslim invaders repeatedly from the 11th century onwards, had to b replaced from time to time. The Taj edifice is much more older. It belongs to 1155 A.D, i.e., almost 500 years anterior to Shahjahan.
These are only three among many that show how much of his theoretical process relies on these false assumption about things, and how much of it is looking too far into things. Conch Shell? "OM"? Really? He can't seem to grasp that different peoples can arrive at similar architectural styles and motifs without being the same people. The most egregious is when he speaks on Domes. I mean, it's not like any other culture/religion/architectural style involved heavy use of Domes..oh wait. You don't even have to look beyond the Mughals.
- A central dome with cupolas at its four corners is a universal feature of Hindu temples."
- The embossed patterns on the marble exterior of the centotaph chamber wall are foilage of the conch shell design and the Hindu letter "OM". The octagonally laid marble lattices inside the centotaph chamber depict pink lotuses on their top railing. The Lotus, the conch and the OM are the sacred motifs associated with the Hindu deities and temples."
- The Tajmahal has a reverberating dome. Such a dome is an absurdity for a tomb which must ensure peace and silence. Contrarily reverberating domes are a neccesity in Hindu temples because they create an ecstatic dinmultiplying and magnifying the sound of bells, drums and pipes accompanying the worship of Hindu deities."
History of Bibi ka Maqbara. Anyway coming back to Bibi ka Maqbara, it's also known as Taj of Deccan as it was inspired by the former. However, by the time Bibi ka Maqbara was built, Mughals were no longer the stellar builders they once were, with Aurangzeb's focus on breaking down temples rather then building many major buildings.

Paler in comparison, Bibi ka Maqbara is almost similar to its forbearer except for one major difference. While the four minarets of the Taj Mahal are shorter than the onion dome, the approximately 72 feet high minarets Bibi Ka Maqbara’s diminutive status is a consequence of Aurangzeb’s lack of interest in architecture. Initially Aurangzeb was not in favour of building a monument as lavish as the Taj, and he The marble domes of Bibi Ka Maqbara, the famous 17th century Mughal-era monument in the city, are set to get a new shine.
