Watch The Taj Mahal & Petra and the Silk Road

This program features two of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The Taj Mahal is one of the world's most beautiful and iconic buildings. Shah Jahan was a 17th Century Mughal ruler who married a Persian princess. Petra, in present-day Jordan, was an ancient city carved out of sandstone walls by Arabic ancestors, the Nabbateans. It was an oasis refuge on the famous Silk Road, along which highly-valued silk, produced in ancient China, was traded.
