Article Improvements
I added more info to the header to appropriately introduce the two new sections I added to this stub. I wrote a brief history of western archeology in the nation of Afghanistan including some key figures and publications. I also highlighted the interaction with western nations like Britain and France as they imported this methodology to the region. I also added a small section highlighting recent conflicts that have halted further archeological research and subsequent destruction of artifacts due to said conflicts. I added some images as well to spruce up the article and being some of the art to life. Considering this article was two sentences when I started working on it, I feel that while my contribution is brief, it is substantial. Blainetrain13 (talk) 01:19, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

I like the article and you additions are very helpful and informative. I see you have brought us up to date with what's happening currently regarding the Taliban. It appears that even though the Taliban previously promised to continue with protection of the archaeological sites, their current social decisions regarding the wearing of face coverings again, indicates that there will be a reversal of thinking. We can only hope that these sites are the subject of further destruction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AGHSWikipedia (talk • contribs) 05:43, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
