Alexander the Great in the Punjab. A Photo Essay

[Jona Lendering]

This article may be of some interest, especially now that the Swat valley has recently been taken over by the Taliban and there is little chance to visit the sites once conquered by Alexander.

Indeed Jona, indeed. Makes this just somuch more important. I'm going to have to muster the money to attend in NYC next year I think.

Yep, that Afghanistan exhibition is great. It was in Paris in 2006-2007, and it was really great - here is a review. It was not very expensive: seven euro. Then, it moved to Amsterdam, where we had to pay more to see lees. Worse, photography was forbidden, which is pretty stupid. The best way to raise awareness is if people start showing photos to each other and tell the story.

I agree. People are more likely to go and look at the exibit if they see some pictures of it.
