BAMYAN BUDDHAS (Destroyed by the Taliban and now being rebuilt?)

In this Afghanistan travel vlog, we visited the most iconic monument - the Big Buddhas of Bamiyan. These Buddhas were destroyed in 2001 by the Taliban (read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhas...) and were part of the UNESCO's restoration programme.
