A bit of good news from Afghanistan

Post by jona »

The following articlehttp://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type= ... =6844563is about the return of a part of the inventory of the Kabul Museum. About 22,000 artifacts (20% of what once was there) are now being unpacked and inventoried.Among these items is especially the so-called Bactrian hoard (20,600 pieces), which was discovered about twenty years ago and is now studied for the very first time. It contains thousands of golden coins dating back to Late Achaemenid and especially Hellenistic times.http://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/art ... =11341Jona
