Hey @UNESCO Let me show you Chennakeshva Temple,Belur,Karnataka.
India.
Built by Vishnuvardhana in 1117 CE.
For you only Taj mahal is only wonder but if you go through our temples you will say Inadia is a land of wonders.

This temple took 103 years in its completion,
3 generation of the king was involved in it.
Many times this temple was destructed but still it is showing its beauty to the world.

Even Nails could be identified easily.
