The Giant RMS Titanic, which was called the unsinkable ship, was lost at 2:30am on April 14, 1912, four days into its voyage from Southampton to New York. She collided with an iceberg and in the end 1,517 of the 2,224 passengers and crew aboard were left dead. The ship was discovered on September 1, 1985 resting 12,500ft below the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean lying in two main pieces about 600metres apart (Bow&Stern). For 73 years, she lay lost and alone in the dark freezing water.

The citizen explorers, or mission specialists, archaeologists will begin their adventure by sailing on the expedition vessel from St John's in Newfoundland, Canada, to the site of the Titanic wreckage, located 370 miles away. OceanGate Expeditions will then use its five-manned carbon fiber and titanium Cyclops-class submersible to transport archaeologists and the mission specialists to the wreck the craft takes up to three mission specialists on each dive that lasts from eight to 10 hours.

OceanGate Expeditions announced on Tuesday its second annual expedition to the wreck, which will see ‘mission specialists,’ along with researchers, survey the massive ship while inside the company’s submersible Titan.

The original Taj Mahal, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who reigned from 1628 to 1658. The emperor built the mausoleum in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died during childbirth. Construction of the architectural marvel began in 1632 and was completed in 1648. It's universally been seen to be a symbol of love. Its main architect was Ustad-Ahmad Lahori but masons, stone-cutters and artisans were brought in from the whole empire, Central Asia and Iran for the building's construction, which combined the efforts of around 20,000 workers. It has 25,000 daily visitors, rising to 80,000 during the peak tourist season. Diana, Princess of Wales in front of the Taj Mahal in 1992.

A wealthy Indian teacher has built a replica of the Taj Mahal for his wife and says their sprawling new home is 'a symbol of his love' for her. Anand Prakash Chouksey, 52, from Burhanpur, Madhya Pradesh state, built the 10,000 sq ft marble house for his wife Manju Shah, 48, also a teacher. Just like the famous 17th century mausoleum, one of the seven wonders of the world. It features towers around the outside and a dome while the flooring and facade are made of marbles from Makrana that were also originally used in the Taj Mahal. The house, about one third the size of the original building, has four bedrooms, one hall, a library and a meditation room and took three years to build. Chouksey, who has refused to disclose the cost of the house, said: 'I wanted to make a unique house in a small town, there are new houses built every year but I wanted to make a unique house that remains the talk of town forever.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10230207/Indian-teacher-builds-Taj-Mahal-wife-one-size-original-one.html
