Before doing the project, I didn't have the common sense about the mausoleums and I thought that those mausoleums around the world are similar. However, during the period of searching the information about the tombs, I have found that each mausoleum has its unique speciality. Furthermore, when observing the way of architecture of the mausoleum, I learned the system and tradition of the region the mausoleum is located in. Therefore, each mausoleum represents the unique culture of the region.
During the process of doing the project, I have learned much. I not only acquire a lot of knowledge of the mausoleums but get much delight and fun. The mausoleums are not terrible as I thought before, instead, some of them are attractive and gorgeous.

Through the project we can learn more about the mausoleums of ancient. Egyptian pyramids are the most familiar ones when we talk about tombs. Although in the project I only refer to some introduction and pyramids of Khufu, there still remain numerous mystery things that prople do not discover yet. In Madagascar, the Royal Hill of Ambohimanga is a significant symbol for its association with Madagascan's strong feelings of national identity. It is also a place that many pilgrims come from Madagascar and elsewhere to worship.
From both heritages we can realize that every country has different cultures. Therefore the way of worship, the meaning of tombs, and the points of view toward death are various from each other. Also, the background of a country is, what the way their ancestors left for them. So the conclude I give is that through the different way people worship their ancestors, we can learn different kinds of cultural backgound.

Taj Mahal is very famous all over the world. I'm always dreaming about to take a trip to it. Before I did this project, I never know the story behind Taj Mahal. The true love between Shan Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal is very precious. Besides, I didn't know Taj Mahal is a cultural blending. I alway think it's just an mosque, a islamic architecture. After doing this project, I knew more architectural attributes of Taj Mahal.

I have heard ahout Westminister Abbey when I read "The Da Vinci Code", however, I don't know much about it. After doing this project, I understand the culture of Westminister Abbey and feel interested about it. For example, Chaucer, a writer whom I have read his articles in English Literature, is buried there. It makes me want to go there to see the "Poets' corner."
By searching the information of mausolems, I find that there are many different kinds of mausoleums and they all have their own characters. I realize that there are some stories and history behind the mausoleums, and each mausoleum respresents its culture. If I have opportunities, I want to visit many mausoleims someday.
