Have you heard of Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, China? The stone Buddhas are also carved into a mountain, and from 500 AD to about 1970, they were completely untouched. It was pretty spectacular to be there and see things in caves that were untouched for 1500 years. It reminds me a lot of the Bamiyan Buddhas.
They destroyed everything else thy could get their hands on. Even shrines and tombs of muslims, they killed the people around them. they were a horrible savage force imposing themselves on the people. I heard the Japanese have organized an effort to rebuild those buddas too.
Thank you Suwantha! Although we have another religion today but Hazara people are always proud of the glorious history of their ancestors and now we need help to rebuilding these statues. Best regards
⛔️ Not only Afghanistan 🇦🇫 but also countries like pakistan🇵🇰, indonesia🇮🇩 Uzbekistan 🇺🇿, tajikistan 🇹🇯 were prosperous buddhist countries many years ago. Buddhist kings always provided the opportunity to practice any religion because the lord Buddha always said to live in harmony with other religions. But what happened in the end?? Eventually other religions survived and Buddhism was buried ☹️ This is not something I did to insult any religion, so there is no need for conflict
@Tariq ibn ziyad are you illiterate... Buddhism was even spreaded in small amounts to Greek due to monks,in many central Asia due to silk road, kushan empire,and some others. 👍It was never majority but you can see statues and proofs of it..it was in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, uzebekistan etc etc

As an Afghan Hazara living abroad, this made me shed tears! How much I miss my homeland. Thank you Drew, for showing the beauty of Afghanistan to the world ❤
In 1975, as a Dutch Australian world traveller I travelled overland for one year travelling from Europe to Australia. This was the era of the hippie smokers who travelled to Afghanistan, Nepal and Morocco etc. I was part of that amazing time when freedom to travel was different to today. I remember being on the back a ute passing through Bamiyan and I saw the Buddha statues. I remember walking up to those magnificent lakes set in the raw pristine mountain setting of Bandi Amir. Thank you for bringing back the wonderful memories of that time. My best friend in Australia is an Afghani man who represents the culture, kindness and hospitality of what you show in your video. His beautiful wife brings us tea just like the cute little girl. His house interior represents Afghanistan and is always a pleasure to visit as well as to eat the fine Afghani food. Therefore I can say that I continue to connect to Bamiyan through my friend which pleases me greatly. Bamiyan certainly was one of the highlights of the trip to Australia. But as a world traveller there are so many amazing highlights to enjoy and as I am about to turn 70 years old I delight in watching RUclips videos which trigger so many spectacular memories for me which ultimately is what we have left to ponder upon as the bones start to creak and energies start to wane. So enjoy your further travels. You will surely enjoy the memories when you turn 70. Cheers from the RUclips channel Train Lord in South Australia.

The Indian Government Built the new parliament for the Afghani people, They are given free education in all our Schools including IITs, the Indian government is a Thick friend of Afghans. But Sure, the govt was disappointed as the Buddhist and Hindu sites were destroyed, and Sikhs killed, but other than that Afghan Govt and Indian Govt are friends. More than 80% of the Parliamentarians voted in favour of Afghanistan, 60% of Indians have an extremely positive view of Afghanistan.

I have the same opinion, the length of this video ist perfect. Thank you Drew, make for us like this won and beautiful videos. It was a wonderful place that I have seen. 😍😍😍 Ali Musawi, from Vienna Austria
Once again, Drew, you have shown us the beautifull Afghanistan, I like it alot n yes please from now on create longer videos as this is just joy to watch it. Many Salaams from Somalia 🇸🇴❤🇦🇫
Take a minute to remember all those Afghans who lost their lives to terrorism People like politicians can blame a whole group (Afghans) for something a few bad people (Taliban) Taliban and other terrorists can only harm and hurt, but humans can give joy and happiness Keep this in mind dear reader. Never blame a group for one member's bad doings.
@Rahman Rahman If they leave then it'll be all Taliban and more cultural erasion and replacing by a terrorist ideology the people were fine before that
"it was like 3 generations it took that this Buddha was completed, almost a whole century..." and just a few morons and it was gone forever. This makes me so sad.
Noor is so knowledgeable about Afghanistan's history and he shows just how much he loves his country^^ He's the best tour guide/friend I've seen in Drew's video along with the girl in Syria 🇸🇾
"This is like as safe as safe could get." This breaks my heart. I have been reviewing all your videos about Afghanistan since the Taliban took back over and it's overwhelming to think of these lovely people having to suffer under that regime again.

Respect to the Hazaras. Years of persecution but that smile on their face looks like they are the most happiest and content people in the world . Thanks for showing us this Drew .
@Iwwy Iw the others suffered and are suffering from their own bi aqli cuz they are extreminst in religion and racism , there are superiority mental in their heads
@Iwwy Iw Hello regarding the impression I mentioned, i am pertaining to the beauty of Afghanistan has to offer, the beautiful mountains and the Lakes because I never imagined that it has beautiful places too. That is why I am amazed. I am not referring to the sufferings of the people.
@Iwwy Iw I'm a Kandahari Pashtun too but to be honest Hazari suffered really hard. They were massed killed because of their religion (shia) and also because they were a minority. I dont wanna say they suffered much more but u know dont make fitnah.
@@hoomaham4183 That's a very bad generalization and as an Afghan it's very false to say such a statement. All Afghans have been victims of war as well as victims of extremism. Don't forget that Hazarajat itself also had its own civil war in 1980's between pro-Iran Islamists and anti forces.
As a Buddhist, I wish one day that people from every ethnicity in Afghanistan may live in peace and harmony with having respect for each other. I've never seen this beauty in Afghanistan before. Thank you so much for bringing it up!
I don't think so, it's more nuanced than that. Mullah Omar wanted to preserve these statues at first because he understood the historical beauty of them and they're potential to attract people. But then Afghanistan was under sanctions and the people were suffering and starving because of these sanctions. The Taliban government at the time was getting requests from foreign organizations and countries to restore the Buddha's of Bamyan, but when they asked for foreign aid instead the organization's and countries denied it. So Mullah Omar was disgusted by these people who were willing to focus on the statues more than on helping actual people. I'm not pro Taliban by any means, they've done horrible crimes against the people of Afghanistan, but I believe it's disingenuous to say the destruction of these statues was a crime against humanity. The crime against humanity is the actions of the US regime imposing it's imperial will and crushing nations around the world economically and militarily. Because of the US the Buddha's of Bamyan were destroyed, and if you think that's a stretch you're really kidding yourself.

Hey Drew, Thanks for your feeling for Afghan people. As an Afghan i am appreciating you for what you are doing, specialy for Afghan people. Thank you. 🙏
When I tell people I want to visit Afghanistan, they tell me I'm crazy it's so dangerous,...etc but I see a beauty in Afghanistan that most don't see, it's such a beautiful land, people, and culture,... Hopefully peace will soon come to the region! InshAllah
@@jennifermc3125 I'm a woman to and honestly I don't think either of us would be safe unless we had a male with us even then its... iffy. Always those scary stories of female travelers getting kidnapped and sold to the rich
Great video ! Read about the beauty of Afghanistan from the travelogue of Dr Muhammad Shahidullah who visited the country almost a century ago. He was amazed too.
@Tel Aviv you admit that Prophet Muhammad PBUH was illiterate, so how could he have written such a perfect scripture? This means The Holy Quran was sent by God and Islam is a true religion.
It was such a wonderful experience learning about the beautiful Hazara people. Sincerely loved this video and your work. Would love a longer form documentary about the Hazara people and their struggles.
@Tel Aviv let's be honest! The only reason you are attacking the faith not the faithful is you are either Jewish or a Jewish sympathizer. Basically, what you say is really similiar to those of Nazis and stop kidding yourself. You are so ashamed to have similiar ideas to those of the Nazis. Each religion has its good and bad elements and eradicating a religion is neither practical nor has yielded a justifiable result. You're only spreading fear and hate with your statements. The sad truth is your ideas are not really different from those of neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
As a Hazara Wallah wa Billah we have no problem with our Pashtoon brothers my best friend is a Laghmani Pashtoon We have shared 10 years of friendship in the best way possible and Inshallah will continue our friendship forever Jwendai Afghanistan
It was done by Pakistan, initially the Talibans who are Pakistani proxy fired rockets at the Buddha but it didn't break, so the explosive came from Pakistan in a Pakistani truck, they put the explosive around the Buddha and blew it to piece it shock the whole province and as a result of this the Muslims faced many calamities in Buddhist countries as a retaliation. But this was a political not Islamic, coz in 10th century the Muslims complain about Buddha in Muslim country so the scholars came from Egypt and saw that ppl don't pray at Buddha so they said to carve out the face of Buddha, as in Islam it id forbidden to make human idols and sculptures or pictures, so after carving out the face the Buddha was allowed to stay according to Islamic ruling.
@Tel Aviv It is not where islam goes things get destroyed, do some history search on particular thing before you comment, I'm Afghan and Pakistan destroyed it to cripple Afghan economy, as Buddha was a tourist hotspot, they always took out all the grape vineyard out from the ground, they burned almond farm, they destroyed our water dams as they are lower end of water tributary. Islam doesn't have nothing to with political proxies such as Taliban and IS.
So great and wonderful. Highly appreciate your effort to visit the ancient Buddhist place. How nice it was during the Buddhist period? Many hidden stories pertaining to Bamiyan valley and Buddha statues. After destruction, no more peace to Afghanistan. - Sri Lankan
I was there in 2002. It was a beautiful little village and the people all smiled and waved at us, so friendly. These people are fighters and survivors, and i pray they overcome all the evil that come their way.
That was amazing. I’m sorry for the tragedy. Noor, I hope your family is ok. Drew, I’m so happy I found your channel it’s very amazing to feel that all people are really the same inside. Thanks!
@Idris Hassan ali i can spot some clearly brainwashed people here, disrespecting a country which helped you in time of war and accepted millions of refugees but alas, some people stay ignorant
Knew about Hazaras people from the books of the great writer, Khaled Hosseini. It's such a pain to learn about the torment they went throughout history. I can feel it on the faces of some even in this video. I just hope that the time is better now and they are free to live the life of their choices dreaming of the better future for themselves and the generations to come. Love to all Afghan people, from Nepal. Hopefully, I will visit this wonderland one day.
I met few Hazara people in Australia, very nice people, but the peaceful religion hates them. This is what happens religion used to rule a country, and some part of the world is like 1000 years back. Peacefuls have very less respect for women
As a Hazara I wanna thank you for visiting Bamiyan, Drew! Bamiyan is part of Hazarajat region in Afghanistan. It is good to know that the whole of Hazarajat is safe. Including places like Daikundi province, Bamiyan province and provinces where Hazaras are the dominant ethnic group.
@@bentientcheu1853 If you mean other Afghan ethnic groups, we speak around 30 different languages here, but non of them is Arabic. So we dont have Arabs in this country.

About the bamiya buddhas they were made during the king kanishka period(when buddhism flourished throughout Afghanistan) , symbolised the gateway for entering silk route and maintaining peace. They r not truly monolithic as only the inner structure was carved out but the outer layer was by the process of stucco(mixture of hay and plaster) such a marvel in art history.

In 1975, as a Dutch Australian world traveller I travelled overland for one year travelling from Europe to Australia. This was the era of the hippie smokers who travelled to Afghanistan, Nepal and Morocco etc. I was part of that amazing time when freedom to travel was different to today. I remember being on the back a ute passing through Bamiyan and I saw the Buddha statues. I remember walking up to those magnificent lakes set in the raw pristine mountain setting of Bandi Amir. Thank you for bringing back the wonderful memories of that time. My best friend in Australia is an Afghani man who represents the culture, kindness and hospitality of what you show in your video. His beautiful wife brings us tea just like the cute little girl. His house interior represents Afghanistan and is always a pleasure to visit as well as to eat the fine Afghani food. Therefore I can say that I continue to connect to Bamiyan through my friend which pleases me greatly. Bamiyan certainly was one of the highlights of the trip to Australia. But as a world traveller there are so many amazing highlights to enjoy and as I am about to turn 70 years old I delight in watching RUclips videos which trigger so many spectacular memories for me which ultimately is what we have left to ponder upon as the bones start to creak and energies start to wane. So enjoy your further travels. You will surely enjoy the memories when you turn 70. Cheers from the RUclips channel Train Lord in South Australia.

Destroying history like that isn't about politics, its a crime against humanity as a whole.
Thank you for your attention to my people culture and history
Its islam
I don't think so, it's more nuanced than that. Mullah Omar wanted to preserve these statues at first because he understood the historical beauty of them and they're potential to attract people. But then Afghanistan was under sanctions and the people were suffering and starving because of these sanctions. The Taliban government at the time was getting requests from foreign organizations and countries to restore the Buddha's of Bamyan, but when they asked for foreign aid instead the organization's and countries denied it. So Mullah Omar was disgusted by these people who were willing to focus on the statues more than on helping actual people. I'm not pro Taliban by any means, they've done horrible crimes against the people of Afghanistan, but I believe it's disingenuous to say the destruction of these statues was a crime against humanity. The crime against humanity is the actions of the US regime imposing it's imperial will and crushing nations around the world economically and militarily. Because of the US the Buddha's of Bamyan were destroyed, and if you think that's a stretch you're really kidding yourself.
what do you have to say about crime against murder and blood shed of millions of Afghani innocent humans there by white imperialist of 21st century??

@Tel Aviv let's be honest! The only reason you are attacking the faith not the faithful is you are either Jewish or a Jewish sympathizer. Basically, what you say is really similiar to those of Nazis and stop kidding yourself. You are so ashamed to have similiar ideas to those of the Nazis. Each religion has its good and bad elements and eradicating a religion is neither practical nor has yielded a justifiable result. You're only spreading fear and hate with your statements.

It was done by Pakistan, initially the Talibans who are Pakistani proxy fired rockets at the Buddha but it didn't break, so the explosive came from Pakistan in a Pakistani truck, they put the explosive around the Buddha and blew it to piece it shock the whole province and as a result of this the Muslims faced many calamities in Buddhist countries as a retaliation. But this was a political not Islamic, coz in 10th century the Muslims complain about Buddha in Muslim country so the scholars came from Egypt and saw that ppl don't pray at Buddha so they said to carve out the face of Buddha, as in Islam it id forbidden to make human idols and sculptures or pictures, so after carving out the face the Buddha was allowed to stay according to Islamic ruling.
@Tel Aviv
It is not where islam goes things get destroyed, do some history search on particular thing before you comment, I'm Afghan and Pakistan destroyed it to cripple Afghan economy, as Buddha was a tourist hotspot, they always took out all the grape vineyard out from the ground, they burned almond farm, they destroyed our water dams as they are lower end of water tributary.
Islam doesn't have nothing to with political proxies such as Taliban and IS.

and every religion has the bad history .. u cannot judge a religion by its history or follower it is not from wisdom
so please learn more open ur mind after that u can write a comment
im an atheist and im living in jordan and i have told so many muslims that im an athiest and we have a atheist's group and we r free even in egyp moroco saudi arabia none tried to kill us or smh so please learn more ask more read more do anything more then talk

@Tel Aviv im not aw muslim i left islam but i did not left it because of quran and if u have verses give me please and yep i do not known any hated verses in quran because i know that there is not

@Tel Aviv you know how it feels to walk in your own homeland infear because american soldier planted mines everywere? Probally not. My uncle is paralised because of the mines that were planted snd he was a little kid just playing near his house...also if a muslim killed another innocent person they are not considered muslim...so please dont judge any race or religoun because the acts of a couple people out of almost 2 billion
@Tel Aviv go ask them for the proof...ph wiat there isnt any? Oh who would have ever though probally because they were being killed off by literally every other nation.

Ohh. ..my heart💕 goes with the Hazara people ! Hazaras, be strong and be brave 💪💪💪👍👍👍 we the world people always support you guys morally!
As a Hazara love you too. I wish God give us bigger heart to love more each other
@Tel Aviv as a hazara i love my Jew cousins but i think we must respect each others religion and believe
As a hazara let me give u a hug
Drew, don't u dare make shorter videos, i am extremely satisfied with each longer video and after each one, i hope that the next one will be just as long if not longer!! Cheers.
Wow, what a fantastic video. It reminded me of Khaled Hosseini books - Bamiyan, the Hazara people...
Yup, hassan
The setting of Hosseini's books come to life through several of Drew's videos. Beautifully captured.
Love you brother. Despite we are one of most persected people in the world, but don't lose our high civilization to be hardworking, respectful and conscientious

These guys seem like the nicest people on earth very different to our western world especially New York 😩
The Middle East is filled with warm hospitable people 🇦🇫🇩🇿🇦🇪🇧🇭🇪🇬🇮🇱🇮🇶🇮🇷🇯🇴🇱🇧🇱🇾🇲🇦🇴🇲🇵🇸🇶🇦🇸🇦🇸🇩🇸🇾🇹🇷🇾🇪
Sadly the goverments and mass media only shows one side to the area. You will see friendly faces,good food,and emence history. Remember there is more to the Middle East then just war and violence.
This is what Islam teaches us, to be hospitable to everyone regardless of our differences as a guest
Az an Hazara i want to thank you bro for this amazing video about Bamiyan. From now on i wil follow your channel.
Thank you Drew,
Refreshed me, Bamyan is my hometown.
I am living in Sac california.🌹🙏
Thanks for sharing your American residency. Would you like to help out there?
They haven’t just destroyed the historical statues, but country’s economy, the culture… I hope someday, there will be enough funding raised to reconstruct the Buddha statues and the entire site. Thanks Drew for your excellent video 🙏👏♥️
As an Afghan Tajik I say lots of respect to Hazara people and I’m sorry that things happened to you all which was inhumane.
U r a india hindu pagan islamophobe
@@azamkhan1526 and my name is Ajmal Nazari and my nickname is A-Jay
@@azamkhan1526 I’m a Muslim and I’m glad you earned yourself a gunah calling a Muslim a Hindu.
A Tajik is not Afghan dumb ass. Afghans are only Pashtuns
@@MMATopGs Go to the west and try to say to person if they ask you where are you from? Say you are from Tajik let’s see if that give you an identity🤮🤮🤮
_What I like about Drew's videos is that they are not only traveling videos, but they're educational as well. I also never knew Bhuduhism (I apologise if I spelt that wrong) took place in Afghanistan._
