Bamyan

The Buddhas of Bamyan were two enormous statues measuring 55 and 37 meters high, located in the Bamyan valley of Afghanistan. Carved into the side of a cliff in the 6th century, they were considered to be some of the largest standing Buddha statues in the world. Unfortunately, both statues were destroyed by the Taliban in 2001, as part of their campaign against idolatry. Though their loss was a tragedy, the Buddha statues of Bamiyan remain a powerful symbol of the beauty and complexity of Afghanistan's cultural heritage.
