What a loss. What is it with Muslums and destruction.
Afghanistan Muslums destroyed statues of Budda that were over 1,000 yrs old. Caves, dwellings - the loss to the people of Afghanistan is unknowable. If Afghanistan could collectively pull their head from their backsides - the tourism industry alone would stagger their current Gross National Product.
Now Egypt - it’s like a group of children without adult supervision.
Do present day Egyptians even build anything? They’d better hang on to their history - else why would tourists bother coming?
They are uncivilized savages. The world would be far better off without them.
Yes, the Buddhas of Bamayyan were centuries old. I was appalled that the Taliban destroyed them. I am sadder thinking that those in power in our country have more respect for the destroyers than for we Americans. I am sick at the thought of the destruction they will do if allowed.
Anything from before Mohamed is from the “Age of Ignorance”, therefore of no value, to many Moslems. There are exceptions, but it’s a general view.
