What is so great about this monument …….. You can’t compare this to Eiffel Tower in France, China wall or even Taj Mahal in India ?????

who is comparing this monument with anything? its a place which must be visited when you are in Pakistan. No body is comparing it with the wonders you mentioned. By that standards only a handful of monuments would be worth visiting, im sure by then the world be tired of visiting those places.

Comments by Jhon are pathetic - it is just a monument symbolizing our history and culture. There has been no attempt by anyone to equate this with the wonders of the world. So whats the fuss?
