I have not heard some one constructing another Great Wall of China or another Taj Mahal any where in the world....You cannot replicate the age of the structure, the effort that went into it or the history behind it...It can be just an imitation & the charm is always or originality

Recently a Golden temple was consecrated near Vellore...It was constructed on a 100 acre plot...All parts of the main temple is covered with Gold..The temple never proclaimed that it was a copy of something...The beauty lies in the creativity....Had it been a copy the original lustre would have been lost.
We have many akshardhams, TTD's like temples everywhere in the west. The indians in these places so do the foreigners enjoy their beauty.

You guys have set some pre-judiced notions and follow through. Khymer kings must have been the hindu-kshatriya kings, and before this angor-wat temple, they worshipped and
had many Shiva temples, until vietnamese buddhist rampaged and converted the hindu temples into buddhism ones.


If shah jahan had not cut the fingers of hindu artisans of Taj Mahal builders, they would have created many. [but not as dumb mausoleums, but for gods or spiritual purposes!]

We had great forts and walls all over the world across many empires/civilizations, which would be common military art/architecture to protect the civilians. We had some many
of them, but Wall of china may have been the longest (due to the space). We have Berlin wall of 20th century.
List of walls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Every now and then, there are many people, who beat the guinness records. Also, the election for 'wonders of the world' change every season.
