It is not "islamic discoveries" . It is Mogal art from India from the 15th and 16th centuries. It has to do with history and not with any religion

There is nothing Islamic about this story. Islam does not support such magical powers to anyone.

There is nothing islamic about the pitures. It is Mughal as also mentioned by other commentors. Well all the artifatcs were beautiful though.
