| Synopsis: |
This book presents an introduction to the diverse and little-known culture of ancient Afghanistan, illustrating it's key place at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East and Asia, along the Silk Road - one of the world's great trading routes. At risk of destruction by the Soviets during the 1979 invasion and more recently, the Taliban, a priceless fortune in art from the Afghan National Museum that was secreted by museum guards, curators and antiquities lovers who pledged never to give up their secret. The objects they fought and died to rescue form the basis for this headline-making exhibition. It includes centuries old artifacts such as the famous hoard of Bactrian gold, considered by many to be one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. All beautifully photographed and described by the author, the National Geographic Fellow who re-discovered the Bactrian Gold in 2004 and inventoried the collection at the request of the Afghan government. |

Berated for breaking any of Dad's hyper-fussy house rules, as well as for her lack of looks, Beauty lives in fear whenever Dad's at home.
