Buddha Bamiyan
The Buddhas of Bamiyan were two monumental statues of standing
Buddhas
carved into the side of a cliff in the
Bamiyan
valley of central
Afghanistan
, situated 230 km northwest of
Kabul
at an altitude of 2500 meters. Most likely built in the
fifth
or
sixth centuries
, the statues represented a classic blending of Greek and Buddhist art.
In
July 1999
,
Mullah Mohammed Omar
issued a decree against the preservation of the Bamiyan Buddhas. In
March 2001
, according to
Agence France Presse
in
Kabul
, the decree declared, "Based on the verdict of the clergymen and the decision of the Supreme Court of the Islamic Emirate (Taliban) all the statues around Afghanistan must be destroyed. All the statues in the country should be destroyed because these statues have been used as idols and deities by the non-believers before.
