"Built in one day"[edit]

"The fort was built in only one day (24 hrs) by his soldiers." It looks like, there is no reference for this, and a quick web search didn't find any mention (that wasn't a direct copy and paste of this article dating from after that edit was made) of there even being a legend to that effect, so I removed it.
