What a shame, marvels of humanity like these are destroyed by human lunacy.
They “ressurected” him as a laser projection some time ago

They were not destroyed in 1992 but 2001 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhas_of_Bamiyan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhas_of_Bamiyan)
And then they blasted it.
Why did they destroy it?
What does this say that ur perspective is so full of poison you just bl0w up the outside world
Humanity has never been good at protecting history.
Either it’s deliberately destroyed by fanatics or it gets destroyed for profit
Do you think the outer layer of the pyramid was worn down by time?
The fact that this was built, tells me whoever built this was hundreds and hundreds of years ahead of the Taliban lol. Taliban couldn’t never do something like this.. Jealousy, stubbornness, and ignorance ruined it.
Nothing good happens in Afghanistan

They have to destroy stuff like this as it shows the poor people under their yoke that their regime has taken them backwards
Imagine how many infidels would’ve visited this site as tourists today, which would lead to nice Economic impact thus helping improve the lives of many.
I guess promise of salvation in afterlife is more important than doing good deeds in real life is more important.
“This shouldn’t be in a Western museum”
When it isn’t in a Western museum:
[Buddhas of Bamiyan](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhas_of_Bamiyan)
It’s still famous. Now they sell tickets to see the ruins. It’s still a good income source.
Absolutely Beautiful. It is downright lunatic to destroy a nation’s history and culture.

Sorry, not trying to be rude, just it’s is a contraction (i.e. it is), not to indicate possession. The correct title would be “.. Before Its Destruction”
I have a problem, I know, but it gives me anxiety. 😅
Chalk another idiot move to humans. I’m sure we’ve been shocking the aliens that we haven’t destroyed ourselves for thousands of years.
Everyone likes to talk about what religion brings to humanity, but they don’t like talking about how much it has taken away from humanity.
Somewhat ironic, since Siddhartha insisted that followers not idolize him, or make effigies, but focus on the teachings. Reminded me of Monty Python’s Life of Brian.
Christians destroyed Solomons temple twice

Islam at its finest
Looks like it kneeds some work!
