G. A. KOSHELENKO, R. M. MUNCHAEV, AND V. A. GAIBOV. ARCHAEOLOGY OF AFGHANISTAN IN DAYS OF PEACE AND DAYS OF WAR

But, I must say right away, their work is the first detailed historiographical study of the country's archeology in Russian. The first part opens with chapter I, " Strange Beginnings." It tells about the activities of the English intelligence officer and archaeologist Charles Masson (real name-James Lewis), who is considered to be a pioneer of the archeology of Afghanistan. He undertook the first research of the Buddhist cave complex in Bamiyan, which included two colossal Buddha statues that were blown up by the Taliban in 2001, despite protests from the international community. I have collected a large collection of coins. He ... Читать далее
