Reapproach Afghanistan 'aside' from war eyes with new British Museum exhibit, 'Crossroads of An Ancient World: Afghanistan' from March 3rd 2011.......deep and colourful insight into Afghanistans rich cultural heritage and the rebuilding of artworks and ancient objects after destructive uprooting wars
This exhibition is a must see, a chance for Afghanistan to be appreciated as having a colourful and cultural heritage providing historical insight into it's place as a crossroads, particularly with the 'Silk Road', as the site of the Greek/Hellenic ancient city of 'Lady Moon' & alabaster nudes, Indian, Chinese and nomadic gold/culture and art. Of particular spectacle is the beautiful, delicate and intricate Gold Crown from Tillya Tepe, 1st Century AD found in the tomb of a nomadic woman, designed to be compat and deconstructable for the nomadic wealthy travellers.
