Taliban thugs in Afghanistan are hunting for a priceless collection of gold artefacts dating back over 2,000 years.
The treasure known as the Bactrian Treasure is one of the largest collections of gold in the world and represents the history and culture of the Ancient Silk Road.
But during the Taliban’s takeover of the country following US and UK troop withdrawals at the end of August, it disappeared.

I wonder if Joe will have the audacity to put that little golden ram on display on the desk in the oval office.

I detect a lapse of faith. They should grind these pagan artifacts to dust, and scatter them in the ocean.

I think Hunter Biden took those artifacts. The Taliban should contact Interpol, and have them issue an arrest warrant for Hunter.

The Muslims have destroyed other religions’ artifacts. Do they think turnabout is fair play?

I saw the treasures of Afghanistan at the Smithsonian years ago. The traveling exhibit is hopefully, hidden and safe as it was when the Taliban were in power.
Screw that bunch of barbarians.

And that’s why I think we should thoroughly loot any countries we take over, moving their best museum artifacts and rare books to the US.
They can have ‘em back when they prove they can take care of ‘em.

First thing I thought too. Their president left in a hurry, supposedly absconding with huge amounts of cash, I wonder if he had this bag of goodies with him too.

Do they think turnabout is fair play? If they date back 2,000+ years they are not Muslim artifacts. They are Greo-Roman artifacts that belong to Greece, Israel maybe Beirut. Definitely not any current Islamic state.
