Welcome to TE, Armanee. Great to read that the restauration of the site has begun. We don't get a lot of picture from Afghanistan, so thanks for this one. Two remarks:
- category 'humurous'?
- very small size

Hi Armanee,
Interesting image...and interesting statue. I only wish that I could see more detail in this...perhaps if it was larger? Thanks for sharing!

Wait a minute - firstly, from your picture, it seems that the *entire* statue of Buddha has been destroyed. Secondly how on earth can a stone sculpture "recover" from destruction?

If you mean restoration, then there's not much they can do - it's mostly gone.
