Archaeological Remains of the Bamiyan Valley

This is a place that might be considered a great wonder of the world. It comprises two huge statues of Buddha, the bodies if which have been carved directly into the rock, but the features are formed by a combination of mud, straw and plaster. They are majestic religious manifestations. Unfortunately, this place is not in great condition as it has deteriorated through time and has not been particularly well-maintained, however it is still very impressive and is a must for anyone visiting Afghanistan.
