Bamiyan children are different from children in other regions. Even though they are very poor, they don't extend their hands to beg. While he does not have a school, he walks for hours to the school, which is in the village below.

[@farhatkunstundliteratur6602]

Beautiful video. Every edge of Afghanistan has a different beauty. Bamyan was the west border of the Budhism the east border was Japan. The caves were full of Monks meditating. The red city is called the city of screaming people. Because when Dschingis Khans army found out where the escape tunnels were, they entered the cuty and killed all the population. And you could hear them screaming. That's why it was called the city of screaming people. Some people say that the Budhas were destriyed by the US to convince Asian countries who were against an attack in Afghanistan to attack and invade the country. Taliban are allowing to rebuild them. I Bamyn there us another Budha statue which is as tall as the Eifel tower in Paris, 300 meters in a sleeping pisitiin, maybe under the fields. They are searching it. Have a great time. 💐🙏😊

[@ahmadali89397]

Pashtuns do not like the history and historical monuments of other ethnic groups to remain, especially the Hazaras, who are still reeling from the Pashtun massacre and have had many of their lands usurped by Pashtuns, who continue to harass them, along with the Taliban, who support this usurpation and killing as a single ethnic group.

[@nadiaazizi9383]

[@justforyou2144]

The Hazara people are an ethnic group primarily found in central Afghanistan. They speak Hazaragi, a Persian dialect, and have a rich culture with ancient roots, as evidenced by historical artifacts like the Bamiyan Buddhas in their traditional homeland. Hazaras have faced severe persecution throughout history, notably during the rule of Abdul Rahman Khan in the late 19th century, when an estimated 60% of their population was killed. Despite these challenges, Hazaras maintain their unique identity and have diaspora communities worldwide. In modern Afghanistan, they continue to struggle for equality and recognition.

[@johndillinger8056]

Afghanistan in the past was one of the greatest centers of Buddhism. and it's also where the Zarostian religion was born. Zartusht the prophet of that religion was from Balkh Afghanistan. in the past majority of Afghans were Zarostians or Buddhists. and these places were built by Afghans or to be more precise by Arians. they were not built by Asians, people of Bamiyan or Hazara that have Asian faces come way later to this place after these temples were built. they are actually a mix of Turk and Arian. which has a history after Islam.

[@michaelralte8195]

Indeed they were not built by the current dwellers the Hazara people, but there is no proof that 'Aryan' people built the buddha statues of Bamyan. These statues were built by the Hephthalites also known as white huns. Between conflicting opinions and the lack of solid evidence, the most plausible and currently most prominent theory is that the white huns were turkic in origin and adopted Bactrian (Iranian language). 6th century byzantine historian Procopius recorded "The Ephthalitae are of the stock of the Huns in fact as well as in name, however, they do not mingle with any of the Huns known to us ".... The Huns were sort of Mixed but they were predominantly Asian of origin.

[@NaeemKhan-tf8or]

[@vintageradioman]

Just to give you guy’s a little history lesson because what you said about people in Bamyan having Asian eyes they are descendants of Mongols and Afghanistan before the Arab invasion in the 7th century was a buddhist and Zoroastrian country there was also Indus and Jews. Also Afghans are Aryans and considered Caucasian Indio Europeans.

Atheists are some of the most religious and faithful people ever. It takes an incredible amount of faith to be an atheist. Sun, moon, stars, oceans, the Earth, animals, babies, male, female, the human heart, emotions, our conscience, love, intelligence, the human mind, bone structure, the human reproductive system, biblical prophecies coming true all before our eyes, eyewitness accounts of Jesus, and more and still there are some people who deny God’s existence.

[@mhnoni]

Not Sus at all, they were afraid and it wasn't safe for them to travel and they found a chance to do that, same with other regions like Iraq and Syria. before that, they couldn't even get a visa. Once one traveled back safely, the other followed the step. you don't want to be the first one to travel would you? I admire the first vloggers who traveled, not sure who was first.

[@truthofacti1600]

Actually you are wrong, the Buddhas of Bamiyan did not have Asian features, they were part of the larger Gandharan Buddhist culture that expanded into Bamiyan from Peshawar and Kabul. So they looked very much like the Gandharan statue that were found in Places like Kabul and KPK. Look up the heads of the Afghan Buddha statues in British Museum. Also the Asian looking people of Bamiyan are descendants of Mongols. They came to Afghanistan around 12th century with Changiz Khan's army. almost more than 500 years after the Buddhas were built. The original people of Bamiyan were completely wiped out. Changiz khan committed similar genocides in other cities like Balkh and central asian cities like Merv and Bukhara which were once Persian cities.
