March 1, 2001 - Taliban Destroys Bamiyan Buddhas #shorts

The Taliban regime in Afghanistan ordered the destruction of the ancient Bamiyan Buddhas, two monumental statues carved into cliffs over 1,500 years ago. Despite international condemnation and pleas to preserve these cultural treasures, the Taliban proceeded with the demolition. The destruction symbolized the Taliban's extreme interpretation of religious law and disregard for cultural heritage. The loss of the Buddhas was mourned globally as a tragic blow to human history and art. ##bamiyan #buddha #shorts
