    National Periodic Report on the Application of the World Heritage

    Afghanistan Section I of the Periodic Report Afghanistan has played fundamental and vital role in the development and promotion of mankind’s culture through history and as a cross roads of civilization has had outstanding and unique role. Afghanistan as a country with ancient culture and civilization has played special and important role in this region of the world. Studies of past history of Afghanistan and archaeological research that has been carried out witness this fact. Ancient Bronze Age, Neolithic and iron in the past has been considered as a crossroad for bringing together the civilizations of East and West. The periods of Greek Bactrian, Greek Buddhist, Kuhsan, Sassanian and Yaftal civilization were rich, that they have drawn the attention of world’s scientists and researches. Since 1922 hundreds of historical sites and monuments have gone under scientific researches and restoration. Unfortunately the last two-decades of political changes in the country have brought many adversities, disorders and the efficient institutions could not continue their work in these fields as required. Looting of historical and cultural heritage, destruction of archaeological sites and historical monuments, plundering and looting of National and provincial Museums heritage, lack of controlling, preserving and protection archaeological sites, not being able to prevent illicit excavations in the historical sites by different armed groups and the 23 years of war are the main factors that have severely affected Afghanistan’s cultural heritage. However, for years Afghanistan’s department of Preservation of Cultural heritage have attempted and requested that at least some of Afghanistan’s cultural and historical be included to the list of UNESCO’s world heritage.

Afghan troops will get a Major Victory if they can defend Amin or he can escape the map. There are no other victory levels. 27 December 1979, Tajbeg Palace, 20kms South of Kabul: The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan started with the attempts to capture key government and communication centers to isolate the Afghan political leadership in Kabul. Seeing this president Hafizullah Amin (Who himself had become power after a bloody plot resulted with the assassination of his predecessor Nur Muhammed Taraki) moved the presidential offices to the Tajbeg Palace, believing this location to be more defendable against an invasion. The Palace was located a few kms south of Kabul near the Darulaman gardens; former home of the fallen Pathan Dynasty. Amin gathered a small force from the troops who are still loyal to him including some armor from the Kabul garrison. On December 27, 1979 Soviet troops, including KGB Spetsnaz Special Forces troops from the Alpha Group and Zenith Group, moved to occupy major governmental, military and media buildings in Kabul, including their primary target - the Tajbeg Presidential Palace.

  • My Love Affair with the Land & People Afghanistan

    My Love Affair with the Land & People Afghanistan

    My Love Affair with the land & People of Afghanistan I have never been a journal (diary) keeper, and my memory has faded rather badly. So, without fixing dates, here is my love story. Some seven years ago, there was some tension between my church leaders and myself. The burden seemed to be on me, and I stopped going. At the time I was attending a Messianic Jewish Congregation, but I felt left-out. I’m not Jewish, but I love Israel and the Jewish people. Without seeing the term used before, I labeled myself a Messianic Gentile. More about this some other time. My retired status left me plenty of time—too much time; I needed something to occupy my mind. Islam was causing lots of trouble in the world, so knowing nothing about the religion, I embarked on an intensive study. The books I selected1 were all favorable and, oddly, written by women. I say “oddly” because Islam has never been known for its respect for women. So, my education was slanted in the wrong direction. By that I mean, what I was reading was the romantic side of Islam’s beginnings and growth. I was so impressed that I considered converting from Messianic Gentile to Islam (yeah, nuts, I know). As Islam grew from a small group of Arab nomads living in what is now Saudi Arabia, most of the Arabs being attracted to this alternative way of thinking, were family and friends of Mohammad. In another place, at another time, I will tell you about Mohammad and Islam, but for now I’ll skip ahead several years and geographically move northward, as did Islam.
