    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Buddhas of Bamiyan were two statues that were carved into the side of a cliff in the Bamiyan valley which is in central Afghanistan. The two buddhas are referred to as the Western and Eastern Buddha, the image pictured is the Western Buddha. Through carbon dating, they were found to have been built around 618 AD and 570 AD respectively. The site is surrounded with caves and surfaces covered with paintings that were said to be a combination of Buddhist and Gupta art from India. 

Unfortunately, in 2001, the Taliban had ordered for the statues to be destroyed, which caused a wave of protest and condemnation worldwide. For one day in 2015, 3D laser light projection technology was used to fill the empty cavities of the statues.]]></dcterms:description>
