What is the truth of the video?

The video of the construction of Taj Mahal looks great but is it really the video of that time? To know its truth, we checked when the Taj Mahal was completed. According to the information found on Google, the construction of Taj Mahal started in 1632 and was completed in 1653. The information found on Google and the year written on the video are quite similar. However, when Sajag’s team checked on Google when the first camera was made? According to Bhaskar’s report, John John had first designed the camera in 1685. French engineer Joseph Nicephon Niepce took the first photograph with the help of a camera in the year 1816.

When the first photo was clicked in 1816, it is impossible to find a video of the Taj Mahal being built in 1653. This made it clear that this video is not from that time and has been made with the help of AI. Now when Sajjag’s team started investigating the original clip of the viral video, many videos were found on Google. However, in the meantime, this video was found on an Instagram account named incent.tours. It was written on that account that this video has been generated by AI. Along with this, an Instagram account @jayprints was tagged.

When I went to this Instagram account named @jayprints, its profile read AI Artist, Photographer.
