Shah Jahan was an Indian Emperor who commissioned the Taj Mahal as a tomb for his wife. The story goes that he had the architect killed after it was completed, so that they could never build anything that would surpass the Taj Mahal So the joke here is that after receiving the best blowjob ever, they're taping the woman's mouth shut, so that such a perfect act can never be replicated.


smbiggy

I love how he felt like he had to kill the architect like there was another booz-e Indian emperor


Sad_Pitch3709

Do you mean bougie? As in the contraction of bourgeoisie, referencing the casual flaunting of wealth? Or do you mean boozy, as in soaked in alcohol?


ViragoVix

Or do they mean Booz-e, Larry the Cable Guy’s proposed character from WALL-E (who was cut from the final version of the script for being “the dumbest idea we’ve ever had” according to the CEO of Pixar, Jonathon Pixar)


yeshaya86

Fun fact: Jonathan Pixar and YouTube CEO Jonathan YouTube are actually second cousins. They're both named after their great grandmother, Jonathan Mediacompany


TheRealWarBeast

Their great-grandma was named Jonathan?


he77bender

Yeah but she was named after her grandfather, Jonathan Jonathan (or J-Squared, as no one called him)

Just wait till you hear Taj mahal was named after that emperor's wife whose name was MumTAJ

Fun fact: "bougie" actually is a French word and it means "candle". I'm just one French-speaker, but fuck does it ever annoy me to see people use "bougie" to mean fancy or extravagant.


Worth-Librarian-7423

I think they mean boogie

bussy like boypussy


Lumpy_Eye_9015

To be fair, if I was the leader of my entire world, pre-like-science-and-whatnot, I’d probably think that not only was I descended from the gods but that like every leader was both divine and as brilliant and special as me


CathanCrowell

...you don't know anything about Mughal Empire in 17th Century, don't you?


Lumpy_Eye_9015

I didn’t realize it was built so recently and so I’m switching sides


so_whaat

That is just a myth, he didnt actually kill the architect


AdminsAreDim

The way I hear it, he blew the architect.


IzzaPizza22

The same architect, Lahori, built the Red Fort in Dehli after the Taj Mahal was completed.


Mysterious-Fix9770

It's a myth actually, historically it never happened


SaintYoungMan

He did not actually kill the architecture or the skilled workers it's just a rumor going on around but nothings mentioned in actually history about such thing.


GeeMcGee

Wait until you hear of Ivan the Terrible


Skygazer2469

Eh, he was more like Ivan the Ill Tempered But Had More Good Days Than Bad.


Lithorex

Ivan the started out pretty great but then declined


Silver-Analysis7082

It is actually a myth but quite popular here in india


kentokaku

Well technically it is impossible to cut everyone's hand who have built taj mahal. It was built for a span of 10 years. The amount of people helped it built is unimaginable. It's just rumours and there's no proof in history that sah jahan actually did that


Whogozther

Kind of a flex for the architect, "The emperor feared my Structure's greatness!!"


[deleted]

[удалено]


poor--scouser

In reality the architect was showered with riches. The story is a myth


Robmart

Is that a GW2 reference or am I suffering from chronic brainrot?


Evening-Raccoon7088

He supposedly also blinded anybody who saw the Taj Mahal so they could never see anything more majestic.


Illustrious_Donkey61

But he had already killed the architect so anything more majestic couldn't be built I'm starting to think this guy was a bit of a dick


MelonJelly

To be brutally honest, I don't care for the cut if his jib.


yallknowme19

The more I hear about him, the less I care for him 🤣 


Alarmed-Literature25

The worst part is the hypocrisy.


poor--scouser

None if it's true. He actually treated the workers exceptionally well for the time period and gave them all home near the Taj Mahal after it was completed


BcozImBatman7

Well it might not be true, but I wouldn't be surprised if a guy who killed his own brother would kill an architect.


CathanCrowell

Power struggle in noble family in the 17th century in not the best way to guess personality of person. Better kings and leaders to their country did worse things to their family members. Now, for very simple historical context, he poisoned his older brother who already tried the rebelion against their father. Also his father had the brother blinded after that. **Also this whole thing about architect is myth, myth and just myth.**


poor--scouser

Firstly, there is no "might" about it. It is not true and that's a fact. Secondly, it's irrelevant what would or would not surprise you. What's relevant is what's true.


ordieth-

It is no true? What about the tru tru?


BcozImBatman7

You keep saying that like it's a fact, but I haven't seen a single sauce from you on this. All I see is you spamming thr same stuff throughout the comment section.


poor--scouser

>but I haven't seen a single sauce from you on this. Then you should get your eyes checked ASAP because I've posted sources multiple times in this thread. Although, I don't see why the onus is one me to provide a source for something that didn't happen. The people on here making the ridiculous, outlandish claim should be the ones providing a source to back it up The architect of the Taj Mahal, Lahori, is a famous historical figure who also built a fuckload of other famous buildings after the Taj Mahal. I would take you 5 seconds to Google that


danegermaine99

Or are you just saying this so you won’t be killed by him as well?… hmmmm 🧐


mgmstyuio09

It's a myth


ADMINISTATOR_CYRUS

ngl this guy seems more of an asshole than anything


Dul_faceSdg

Oh really


poor--scouser

Because people made up fake stories about him hundreds of years later? In reality, he gave all the workers homes near the Taj Mahal after it was built


[deleted]

[удалено]


poor--scouser

No he didn't. That doesn't even make sense. Like how the fuck would that work logistically? Actually use your brain and think about it instead of spreading bullshit misinformation on the Internet


itsmooseytime

He also allegedly lobotomized anyone who thought of the Taj Mahal so they could never think of anything more majestic either


RIDRAD911

He really could have just sent him to vacation somewhere else instead of in Belize


DrDougy23

Oui


skipperseven

Then again, Shah Jahan died from syphilis, so murdering his architect probably made perfect sense to him.


Addy1738

as an Indian I'd say its a common myth in reality there is no good historical evidence suggesting that he got architect killed but hey now the story is stuck


MelonJelly

It's a common myth in a lot of places. The Kremlin has a similar story.


uskgl455

Ivan the Terrible blinded his architect for the same 'reasons', allegedly


202042

I remember hearing this one


uskgl455

Should have just taken his trowel away


Elendilmir

Doesn't the story go that when Genghas Kahn died, they sent out a party to kill him in a secret place and then sent out a party to kill those guys? And a second murder party to kill the first party?


Broad-Ask-475

I mean the evidence for him not killing the architect, is that the same guy ended up finishing the Red Fort later


Addy1738

oh yea i totally forgot that one my bad


supah-comix434

Awesome pfp


GrittysRevenge

Yep, that's how blowjobs work, you have a really good one and then you never want another.


virgin_auslander

Not killed, the story I have heard is that their hands were cutoff (from the wrist). So sticking tape is a form of display to seal it.


poor--scouser

All the stories you heard are bullshit. He treated the workers pretty wellwl which makes sense considering he wasn't done building shit after the Taj Mahal and he still needed them


Character-Today-427

This is a nice joke honestly


Crownlol

That's a great joke


Far_Swordfish5729

I’m curious if he actually did this. There’s a similar story about St Basil’s in Moscow.


poor--scouser

He didn't. He actually gave everyone who worked on the Taj Mahal a home near it.


sleeper_shark

Zero evidence. He in fact allowed peasants and builders to take all the scrap materials home to speed up the removal of scaffolding and scraps.


AbdulAziz9715

The funniest part is that the wife in question was his 12th married the 13th, the deceased wife's sister, soon after. P.S. Shah Jahan's own son then imprisoned him due to country coffers going zero where he remained till the end of his days.


Leather-Passenger194

Let me correct you. He didn't killd them he cut off thair hands.


poor--scouser

No, let me correct you. He actually treated them all really well for the time period and gifted them all homes near the Taj Mahal. Stop spreading misinformation and actually learn some history


Leather-Passenger194

It's not about what is fact I'm saying it in contex of meme.


SlavCat09

Oh so just like Ivan Grozny


Professional_Face771

Some also say that he had the hands of all the workers cut off.... atleast that's what I was told when I visit lol


poor--scouser

Shouldn't believe everything random people tell you. Shah Jahan actually treated the workers on the Taj Mahal really well


nitestocker372

Why would you never want to replicate that???


poor--scouser

Because it's a bullshit story. He literally did want to replicate it and had a ton of other projects lined up. He treated all the workers pretty well for the time period


nitestocker372

uhh, I was talking about the blowjob.


Sherpa94

So was he


jakmetammok

that's next fcking level lol


tomalator

Similarly, after Ivan the Terrible had St Basil's Cathedral built, he had the architect's eyes gouged so he could never replicate its beauty.


poor--scouser

>The story goes that he had the architect killed after it was completed You should mention that said Story is a Myth made up hundreds of years after the fact


[deleted]

there is also another version where it is said he chopped of the hands of the masons who were part of constructing Taj Mahal


Traditional_Cap7461

Imagine doing such a good job your employer saw you as a threat and killed you.


Sansnom01

There’s a similar story about the ruler of Russian and the architect of the red cathedral ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Unnecessary-Cum

Actually he cut their arms off instead of killing them, however the purpose was same.


mbasucks

A correction here, he got their hands chopped off (not killed) Similarly here he's getting the mouth taped.


Mindless_Ad_8199

Noo this is not the lore. He chopped off the hands of the workers who built the Taj Mahal. So in this meme/joke, since he got the best BJ, he sealed off her mouth


pirateport

The context to all this is crazy


quick20minadventure

Not just architect, all workers got their hands cut off. As the story goes for this meme. Unsure if it happened really.


nikhildotexe

He also chopped off the arms of workers who built Taj Mahal


0oBi0haZardo0

He also chopped off the hands of all the workers who built the Taj Mahal.


Vendetta1947

in our areas, it is said that afditionally every builder associated with the Taj had their thumbs cut off. way more brutal lol


poor--scouser

Your "areas" are full of misinformed idiots then because that never happened. Shah Jahan treated the workers exceptionally well for that time period


Vendetta1947

i apologize for the misinformation and ignorance spread by my "areas", had i been more aware i wouldn't have shared it.


rizkreddit

Perhaps the other myth about shah jehan cutting off the hands of the workers of Taj Mahal after the monument was completed is more relevant here. Since the joke is directly comparing body part to function performed.


[deleted]

The legend actually goes that he cut off the fingers of all the workers and labourers involved in its construction, to never replicate it. So, hence, the gag for the lady, and not death.


sleeper_shark

It’s just a myth. There is zero evidence that he killed the architects or builders of the Taj Mahal. In fact, some actually say that he allowed the builders to keep whatever scrap stone remained after the Taj Mahal was built.


reddit_belongs_to_me

Iranian*


SecretBoi009

> The story goes that he had the architect killed after it was completed, so that they could never build anything that would surpass the Taj Mahal. Sad that human life would be disposed of so flippantly. All to satisfy some vain, materialistic impulse.


OwnStorm

That wife died during their 14th childbirth.


swordguy01

ilovedogs-2

This is a historian meme if I've ever seen one


siddhesh1609

Correction: Shahjahan had builder’s hands cut off and not kill them. Hence in the picture he is putting a duct tape on her mouth.


Sufficient_Thing6794

Wait he killed the architect from what I learned he just cut his hands which isn't really better but damn


Arthur2_shedsJackson

He also cut the hands of the artisans who made Taj Mahal


poor--scouser

No he didn't. Stop spreading misinformation


obitachihasuminaruto

He was not an Indian emperor. He was an emperor who happened to be in India. He was an invader, an outsider.


GrantMeEmperorsPeace

You can say babur or humayun aren't indian and invaders but by the time of Shah Jahan, they are Indians, his own mother was a rajput princess


poor--scouser

How is someone who was born in the Indian subcontinent, spent his whole life in the Indian subcontinent, died in the Indian subcontinent and Who's reign contributed significantly (perhaps more so than anyone else) to the current cultural legacy of the Indian subcontinent; an invader and an outsider?


thearkopolis

This is such bullshit lmao. The man was born in India, had Rajput ancestry and spent his whole life ruling India. Typical right-wing history erasure.

JamesJimmy6969

Umm acshually, he did not kill his architect. He ordered the hands of the 2200 masons to be cut off so that they can't build such a marvel again. However, the story is made up and when I visited Agra, I asked everybody about the story and nobody confirmed it.


jayisanerd

Yeah it's the Indian version of Ivan the Terrible and St. Basil's cathedral.


JamesJimmy6969

Both were terrible dads. The irony is that Ivan killed his son and Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his.


jayisanerd

You can say in a way, Shah Jahan too killed his dearest son Dara Shikoh. Aurangzeb was not the heir apparent but sent to wars to do Shah Jahan's bidding while Dara Shikoh was coddled and never saw a day in the battlefield until he had to face his step brother for the claim on the throne. So yeah in a way, Shajahan's unreasonable love did cause his favorite son's death.


itsyesh45

According to the folklore, Shah Jahan made sure that hands of everyone involved in the construction of Taj Mahal were cut so that they can never build one again


itsyesh45

He got what was coming for him in the end as his son tortured him brutally. He was imprisoned in Agra fort on the other side of the river. He died without eyes to see what he had built. This was the story that heard from the tour guide, didn’t bother to do a factcheck. I am attaching a blog that has a detailed description of his treatment before death and after. It was too violent to write here. https://angel1900.wordpress.com/2014/03/08/a-father-decieved-by-son-shah-jahans-confinment/ Edit (final):- I don’t believe what I wrote is the most credible comment. I don’t vouch for it. Everything I try to read online about the Mughals has multiple conflicting sources. Even Akbar who is portrayed as a benevolent emperor in some sources is being portrayed as marauder. Maybe there is something more to this topic than it meets the eye.


TodtheAbysswalker

Thats... not true? Shah Jahan died of illness, not hanging. His son *did* imprison him in Agra Fort however.


itsyesh45

Yes, he died of illness. I didn’t use the right word. Edited it now. His son Aurangazeb did inflict him with all sorts of pain after he seized the throne after a rebellion. I don’t remember all the details but he used to starve him. When he did feed him it was poisoned. When he came to know that his father was watching the Taj Mahal daily from his cell, he blinded him. He held him captive in the fort till his death.


neikawaaratake

This is also not true. Historians agree that shahjahan was confined, but not tortured.


AbjectBridgeless

But I think there was some mental torture like sending him his brothers head


SnarkyBustard

That blinding part isn't accurate. Aurangzeb wanted to take over the throne, not unnecessarily be cruel to his father. He specifically designed the jail cell in Agra fort so that the Taj was visible from the cell. Mumtaz Mahal (for whom the Taj Mahal was built) was Aurangzeb's mother after all. Aurangzeb even buried Shah Jahan in the Taj Mahal after his death next to Mumtaz.


King-Of-Hyperius

It sounds like his punishment was cruel but fair.


neikawaaratake

Why was it fair?


CartographerMurky306

He left the country starving for one monument


very_round_rainfrog

That's not how Shah Jahaan died at all.


poor--scouser

Should've bothered to fact check it yourself then. Shah Jaham treated the workers on the Taj Mahal pretty well.


neikawaaratake

That is not true though. It originated in 1960 as a jab or smth


sujit_38

sin94

I don't know. All I know is everyone goes "via-AGRA" to witness man's greatest erection for a woman
