I had seen other photos of what Afghanistan had been like back then. These are amazing and sad to realize how advanced the civilization was and what it has become due to hubris and greed of outsiders. What a tragedy and the loss of some of the most spectacular feats of artistic endeavor leaves me speechless when I think of what it implies about mankind at this stage in the history of our species.

Bookmarked for future reference.
