This day in history - during childbirth, Mumtaz Mahal, the wife of Shah Jahan, the ruler of the Mughal Empire, died.
It happened on June 17, 1631. So why is the Taj Mahal in the photo? Yes, because saddened by the death of his beloved, Shah Jahan ordered the construction of a mausoleum such as the world has not yet seen.
He succeeded - after 22 years, the construction was completed. And the Taj Mahal remains to this day both a symbol of great love and an example of architectural perfection.

Lucy the chimpanzee knew 140 words, drank gin and watched porn.
Lucy is a chimpanzee who was raised by psychotherapist and Professor Maurice Temerlin and his wife Jane at the University of Primate Studies in Oklahoma, USA.
Lucy was born in 1964 and died in 1987, all her life she was treated like a person.
The monkey was dressed, together with people, Lucy sat at the dining table and used cutlery, read magazines. An intelligent chimpanzee has mastered sign language by learning 140 words.
Bohemian life for her began when she got drunk on gin, began to bully a cat, leaf through Playboy and masturbate with a vacuum cleaner.
Temerlin tried to set Lucy up with a male, but she didn't like him, she was even afraid of him.
When a strong 12-year-old chimpanzee staged a real pogrom in the professor's house, he sent the monkey to "rehabilitation" in the Gambia.
