The Legends Behind Bamyan I Documentary
Bamyan at first glance represents the various civilizations that have emerged over thousands of years.
Known collectively as the Bamyan Buddhas, the two monumental sculptures have amazed both Buddhist and non-Buddhist visitors for more than a thousand years. Like many of the world's great ancient monuments, little is known about who commissioned the Bamyan Buddhas or the sculptors who carved them.
Bamyan also referred to as the “Shining Light” or “Valley of Gods”, is one of the oldest cities in the Central and South Asia.

Shahr-e Gholghola or Gholghola City.
Shahr-e Gholghola was Bamyan’s last stand against the Mongols’ siege of Bamyan during the spring of 1221 AD.
The Mongols laid siege on the citadel, destroying it and killing everyone inside. The screams of the dying victims could be heard all throughout the Bamyan Valley earning Shahr-e Gholghola its current name ‘the City of Screams‘.
