Abstract (in English)

Volume XXI of the series "Monuments and Sites" published by ICOMOS is the second of the series (after volume XIX) to document the work on the Buddha figures and on the World Heritage Site in the Bamiyan Valley. The first chapter presents the latest research on the polychromy of the Buddha figures, while the second chapter documents the work of the ICOMOS working groups on site from 2010 to 2014. Chapter three provides among other things information on demining and includes a comprehensive contribution by the Department of Historical Monuments, Ministry of Information and Culture of Afghanistan. Constance Wyndham describes the opinions of the inhabitants of the Bamiyan Valley on the current situation. Chapter four contains historical reports on the Buddha figures and on the Bamiyan Valley and UNESCO reports, as well as the unpublished dissertation by Abdullah Amiryan, Renata Piarelli and Gabriele Bruckmann (1975/76), as well as remarkable photographic images by Dieter Blume (1976) and a small selection of press articles and essays on the current discussion about saving the fragments in the Buddha niches. The volume, with forewords by Mohammed Ashraf Ghani, President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Francesco Bandarin, Assistant Director-General of UNESCO and Gustavo Araoz, President of ICOMOS International, comprises more than 600 richly illustrated pages.
