PAKISTAN-ARCHAEOLOGY-CRIME-SMUGGLING
TO GO WITH 'Pakistan-archaeology-crime-smuggling,FEATURE' by Khurram Shahzad
This picture taken on August 7, 2012 shows a visitor as he takes photographs on his mobile of seized ancient statues at a museum in Karachi. Pakistan is home to two ancient civilisations, the Indus, which dates back to between 2500 and 1700 BC, and the Gandhara, from 530 BC to 1021 AD. It is the Gandhara artefacts that are most highly prized -statues of the Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, who was born in Nepal in the 6th century BC and whose teachings grew into a major religion, can fetch thousands of dollars across the world.
