A MAGICAL MONUMENT

During the seventeenth century in India, King Muhammed Adil Shah had an enormous monument, the Gol Gumbaz, built in Bijapur, Karnataka. Crowning the monument was a gigantic, 178-foot-thick dome, completely unsupported by pillars.
Today, tourists can climb the spiral stone staircase and stand near one of four black stones in the structure, then whisper into one of the stones to a companion standing near another black stone on the opposite side of the dome. They will able to hear what was said. This phenomenon is attributed to the unusual acoustic properties of the monument.

I have a strange way of remembering what was done, said, and what was the outcome rather than who said it or the year. We must learn why something is relevent not who and when. Otherwise we didn't learn we memorized. But I'm glad I got it right.
