Re: A happy ending for Afghanistan's gold
A,
thanks for posting; very interesting.
Not sure how to "take" the article.
Keep thinking the view it is coming from them,
THE ARCHAEOLOGIST.
Bunch of gold and, "during food shortages and
money crises, this handful of people ... could have
sold these collections."
It seems folks were hungry but...........
the, "key holders," held the gold.
Examples of the Bactrian gold were already in
Museum's. "Visitors to the Guimet Museum's
exhibit can see 220 Afghan treasures, including
many pieces of Bactrian gold, which were
discovered in 1978 by Soviet archaeologist Viktor
Sarianidi." So these were just more of the same.
"The goal is to present another picture of Afghanistan
than the one usually seen on the news — war and
violence, said Vincent Lefevre, a Guimet curator."
The entire story sounds like something a curator would say

My above statement about the "take" on this
article. Archaeologist and their views vs. everyone
else who do not understand like only archaeologist can
Like I said, interesting.
A real happy ending would have been me finding
it and melting it down
Nothing like a basement
full of Bactrian gold
Think deep down I'm just a barbarian
Again, thanks for posting.
Will be interesting following the story.
have a good un......
