The Giant Buddha Statues of Afghanistan | In Search of the Lost Buddhas | Parable

(Parable - Religious History Documentaries) This is a place (ancient Buddhist Gandhara, modern Muslim Afghanistan) where few travelers dare to tread, a place that’s been locked in bloody conflict for many years. But beyond the conflict is a land of extraordinary beauty, a place that was once the fountainhead of one of the world’s oldest spiritual belief systems: Buddhism.

Join David Adams as he heads into a valley hidden deep in this now strictly Islamic land as he seeks the gigantic relics of a much more ancient tradition, the Buddha's Dharma. The Lost Buddhas of Afghanistan explores the little-known ancient past of this sacred land fought over by empires from the Scythians of Saka (Shakya) to the British, Russians, Americans, and [next] the Chinese.
