A sequence on the Bamiyan statues from "Adventure in Afghanistan" from Hal, Halla and David Linker's television travelogue series, "The Wild, the Weird, and the Wonderful", circa 1973. The Cultural Landscape and Archaeological Remains of the Bamiyan Valley was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003; it is noted as being a World Heritage Site in Danger. The film clip is from the Human Studies Film Archives, Smithsonian Institution collection of historical moving images.

@Mayortwilleger Yes, humanity. By saying something like that you actually imply that Moslims arent humans
-
@bartacus1 Humanity? Didn't Muslims destroy the statues?
-
It is nice to see a record. Destruction of antiquity and our shared cultural heritage is perhaps the greatest crime humanity inflicts on itself.

CURSE OF THE BAMIYAN BUDDHA
Once Lord Buddha asked an irate, parent of his disciple, who was cursing him.” What happens to food when you prepare a feast and the guest doesn’t turn up?” The parent replied he would wind up and eat it for himself. Then Buddha replied “You just prepared a feast for me, and I don’ eat it.”
This is exactly what the Buddha would have replied to the Taliban-and the rest you can see after a decade of destruction of the statues what happened to those who destroyed.

It was blown up to find the gold the Leprechaun hid under it.
-
statues are not allowed in islam so the destruction was not personal
