Saving Mes Aynak
Brent E. Huffman
An archaeologist races against time to save a 2,000-year-old Buddhist archaeological site in Afghanistan threatened by a Chinese copper mine and Taliban attacks. Only 10% of Mes Aynak has been excavated and experts believe future discoveries have the potential to redefine the history of Afghanistan and of Buddhism itself. Saving Mes Aynak examines the conflict between cultural preservation and economic opportunity.
