Answers
Answer:
Which Delhi Sultan is this tomb associated with?
The Qutb Minar is located in Mehrauli Archeological Park, which also contains other fine examples of Delhi Sultanate architecture, including the tomb of the sultan Balban (who reigned from 1266–1287 CE), the first known building in India to feature a true arch.
Which new city did this Sultan establish?
About three centuries later, Muslim rule would be established in Northern India under Qutb-ud-din Aibak, who founded the Delhi Sultanate in 1206 under the Mamluk dynasty.
Who succeeded this sultan
Oman's Sultan Qaboos bin Said, the Arab world's longest-serving ruler and with a reputation for quiet diplomacy, has died at the age of 79. His cousin, Haitham bin Tariq al-Said, will be sworn in as the new sultan, ending decades of speculation over who would succeed the popular ruler.
