This was spectacular to see !
I didn't know the famous Minaret
has all this complexity of inscriptions.
I like that it's Maryam which is written there.
Well done videos.
If you see more, GYE, please post.
Very enjoyable to watch !
I could watch it 5 times easily.

Thanks for sharing GOE.Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

Boo hoo. These videos are not available any longer.
I wanted to look at them again, as I remember them 3 years later !
But the channel has been discontinued.
If anyone knows where they might be viewed now, please let us know.
By the way, in searching youtube directly for this memorable video set,
I saw that in the last 6 months, suddenly the Western powers have "discovered" the famous leaning Minaret, and there are efforts by UNESCO to save it from further decay.
But, I didn't feel like watching videos from a NTo channel...
So if anyone has any other favorites showing the Minaret of Jam, please post the video or videos.Comment
