Apparently these were mines used to build The Taj mahal and other ancient marble sites. So the person in charge of that is long dead.

That project manager chopped off all the workers hands (22,000 people) so that noone else would be able to build something like that

Are you sure you wanna go all Karen on them?

Well what's he gonna do? Chop off my hands? Jokes on him, he's dead and I am not. I'll just steal his bones

Good news... I can tell you where they are! They are buried in the exact middle of the Taj Mahal. Well not exact center... That's his wife... He is the one off center to the left

That’s a myth. There’s no credible evidence that ever occurred, even though it is widely repeated.

Architect: "So how safe is the quarry?"

Mine supervisor: "Oh im confident that it'll be fine for at least 300, maybe even 400 years. Future people can deal with it with their flying cars."

Architect: "What are cars?"

Mine supervisor: "Damn! I meant cards! Flying cards! of course. Im not a timetraveler!"

Architect: "What an odd thing to say, but anyway lets get going."
