A Bangladeshi filmmaker today unveiled an inventive, if expensive, solution to his country's lack of iconic tourist destinations: just copy someone else's. Using 160kg of bronze, marble and granite from Italy and diamonds from Belgium, Ahsanullah Moni has reproduced a full-scale replica of the Taj Mahal 18 miles north-east of Bangladesh's capital Dhaka. He said that Bangladeshis could not "afford to go to Agra to see the Taj, so I am bringing the Taj to them". via. Guardian
