Visit to Turkmenistan, Central Asia (video)

There is a Gateway to Hell, a major tourist draw in Turkmenistan (Darvaza gas crater),
The dictator upstairs is limiting tourists to the entrance, I hear. Here he is. Let's ask him.
  • World-famous Afghan Buddhas of Bamiyan
    Buddhism in Central Asia may sound strange, but Buddhism really began in Central Asia (a place some might call the Stans), where the Buddha was born and raised: Scythia, Saka, Gandhara. While legend has him in Nepal, Dr. Ranajit Pal and archeology corrects that notion.
  • Ancient Gandhara is some modern Stans
    The largest Buddhist monuments and monasteries in the world are in modern Afghanistan, and they did not arrive there via the Silk Road transmission but had already been there even as Bihar was populated with so many Vihar's that it got its name as an Indian state. They were celebrating their native son, who returned seven years after he set off on his quest. There was no "India" at that time, only Magadha and other independent kingdoms that were united two centuries later by Buddhist Emperor Ashoka. In these strange and little-known countries there are Buddhist artifacts that make little sense until one places "Scythiamuni" Buddha in his proper context, in a land from in and around Indo-Saka-stan.
