Thanks Pan_Yan."The archaeological term is 'anastylosis,' but most people think it's some kind of strange disease," said Praxenthaler... It was the process used to restore the Parthenon of Athens. It involves combining the monument's original pieces with modern material.To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |

When the Buddhists first encountered the Muslims in Central Asia and Afghanistan (remember the Bamiyan Buddhas?), the Buddhist reaction was no reaction at all. The Buddhists tamely submitted to the Muslims. No they did not embrace Islam en masse; they just gave themselves up for being slaughtered en masse by the Muslims.
Many of the Buddhists never learned to resist the Muslims. Even when the Muslims raided famous Buddhist Universities like Nalanda in Indias Bihar province, the Buddhists died en masse when the Muslim swordsmen slaughtered them like hyena would devour a clutch of rabbits in a cage.
