This is truly a sad comment since one act of violent destruction does not reflect an entire people.

From the last several comments--all of which had to be deleted--it is necessary to remind viewers that we must delete comments with inappropriate language and that are inflamatory in the extreme. To be crystal clear all posts with the "f" word will be deleted.

This must of been a magical place during antiquity. I heard the statues were brightly painted and pilgrims and people travelling miles away can spot this beautiful landmark. Imagine oil or candle lamps flickering away at night illuminating these divine sea of spiritual bliss. It's tragic that humans can contain such evil hatred in their hearts for death and destruction.

Well, if the statues were still there, imagine how much of tourism activities increases in Afghanistan. Then more people from the world can actually see how beautiful the true country of Afghanistan. Probably helps increases the economy of the country too. I mean, look at the amount of people from China itself, they would love to visit it, just to see these statues. The people who destroyed are just selfish and do not love their own country, not thinking the benefit for the country.

Muslims destroyed it like the video says and then the final blow came from the Muslim goverment that took control and created the taliban and they destroyed not only that but many other things much older then their own religion.

Thats not just modern look at henry VIII, he made real efforts to get rid of alot of christain art, not just in the dissolution of the monestaries but also he had alot of churches whitewashed to hide all the wall paintings

I wonder what the narrator would think about the modern religious fanatics who, instead of creating art and sculpture for their religion, destroy art and sculpture in the name of their religion...

I thinks it's reasonable to assume there are no Taliban archaeologists.

don't you love censorship? we should burn all computers which made illiberal comments. And we should send the comment makers to gulags, that would be civilized right?
