Buddhas of Bamiyan : The Wonders of the World -- Hardback (Main)

The Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan, carved in the sixth century AD, represented two aspects of the Buddha, universal and historical. In March 2001 the Taleban destroyed them. This title about the Buddhas is also about Bamiyan, a place that occupies one of the most strategic positions on earth and is also stunningly beautiful.
