The treasure
Locked away in a vault underneath the presidential palace in Kabul is a priceless treasure which is at the mercy of the American bombardment and the Taleban’s spite and greed.
Art experts want the UN to rescue this 2, 100-year-old hoard of gold antiquities, called the Treasure of Bactria, before it is destroyed or the Tableban melt it down.
What is remarkable is that the 20,000 or more gold statues, necklaces and ornaments set with precious stones have survived for so long in a city scarred by years of war.
Rumors swirl around the bazaars of the capital about what the Taleban has done with the treasure, which was excavated from a royal burial site in northern Afghanistan by a Soviet team during the Soviet Union’s occupation. The team described how the 20,000 gold pieces included statues, necklaces, dress ornaments, hairpins and buckles deco rated with precious stones. There were also plaques decorated with jewels and a crown covered in pearls and turquoise.
The treasure survived until its excavation in 1978. After that, the country’s former President Najibullah, sealed it in many trunks and hid them in a vault and protected by a steel door shut by seven locks with keys held by seven different people. At least three of the key holders are now dead, Mr. Najibullah included.
Another popular fable circulating in Kabul is that the Russians have a duplicate set of the seven keys. Others claim that a traitor team of Soviet troops broke into the vault in the last hours before they abandoned Kabul and replaced some of the treasures with fakes.
Now all anyone can say for sure is that the treasure was last seen and inspected by international archaeologists in 1993. when the safe was opened to clarify rumors that the Afghans had sold it.
UNESCO says that it has given the Americans a map so that its bombers can avoid vital cultural sites, which include the vault in the presidential palace and other places, where other museum treasures are stored.
There are many in Kabul who say the Taleban have already handed the treasure to Osama Bin Laden. Robert Kluyver, of the Society for the Preservation of Afghanistan’s Cultural Heritage, was told recently that Bin Laden had arranged for it to be smuggled across the mountains to Pakistan in March where dealers awaited his orders to sell it.
