2nd update

Morning with a new driver and same guide we went to Humani's tub. It was in layout and style used as a model for building the Taj Mahal.

What we learned about Islam decorating of buildings there was the there are no live elements allowed to be depicted. No animals, humans, flowers…… So they mostly end up using Sections of the Koran. Also for burial sites, the body is directed with the head pointing north, the head turned to the right side, looking west to Mecca. 

Next we went just across the street to Zinamudin Area. It is a site where he and his helper are buried. He was one of the 72 men who came to India to attract people to the Islam religion. Peaceful. THen site is kept in very high regard and is highly frequented. It was noticeable that the site was decorated in a much more intricate way than any of the sites we saw before. Vendors offered flower strings for sale to give as offering and who knows what else. We where able to see an interesting set of people there. Some old and marked, some I would have been a little scared to see in the US on a dark street. Typical persian looks, but many had a very strong personality. Interesting. 

The last spot o the day was Qutab Minar, apparently the oldest Islam structure in India. 1200A.d. Not only does it house the tall Minaret (was 75m high) but it also houses a iron pillar that is made in that time and still does not seem to show any rust. How did they make metal structures of that size at that time…. Who knows. The minaret was built over time higher and higher. Every time another level was completed, the king for that time wold die, the next king would continue another level and die…… It became a curse and they stopped building higher  at some point.
