Review
'... an important and beautiful book, whose subject will be a revelation to many, and a delight to all.' --Editor's Choice, Good Book Guide
Product Description
Ancient Afghanistan was the crossroads of civilization in Central Asia. Its archaeological treasures date back more than four thousand years and bear the imprint of numerous cultures, attesting to Afghanistans pivotal importance in the exchange of goods and ideas from Asia to the Mediterranean. Nearly 230 artefacts from the rich mosaic of Afghanistans cultural heritage are explored in this outstanding book. The extraordinary objects presented here range in date from 2200 BC to AD 200 and are drawn from four different archaeological sites. This lavish volume not only focuses on the cultural significance of the objects but also relays the story of their discovery, excavation, and heroic rescue in modern-day Afghanistan.

Because I was unable to get to see the exhibition at the British Museum I decided to buy this instead. I am so pleased I did. It is beautifully illustrated with informative text. A marvellous introduction to the wonnderful treasures of this country.

I bought this book to remind myself of the exhibition that I was fortunate enough to visit. It is a beautiful book filled with luscious photographs and serves as a good guide to the exhibition itself. It shouldn't be seen as an academic work, nor does it try to claim that mantle. However it's perfect for taking out on a winter's evening with the crackling of a fire and a glass of wine.
