Fourteen years after the Taliban dynamited the world-famous Buddhas of Bamiyan, the giant statues were resurrected with 3D light projection technology in the empty cavities where they once stood in Afghanistan.
The project was undertaken by a Chinese couple who used 3D laser light projection technology to fill the empty cavities in the cliff in the Bamiyan Valley in Hazarajat with Buddha's virtual images, 230 km northwest of Kabul.
The couple - Janson Yu and Liyan Hu - were saddened by the destruction of the two statues which were carved during the 6th century and decided to undertake the project.
They took permission both from the Afghan government and UNESCO to bring the statues back for one night only in the empty cavities in the cliff.
The event on June 7 saw projectors displaying huge holographic statues of the exact size of the precious cultural monuments that were lost, accompanied by music.
"The projections were not widely publicised, but over 150 people came to see the spectacle. Crowds remained well into the night and some people played music while others looked on," a journalist, who witnessed the show, was quoted as saying by The Atlanic.
Both Standing Buddhas - 115 ft and 174 ft tall - were carved out of sandstone cliffs and stood at one point painted and gilded. They managed to survive for more than 1500 years.
But the Taliban dynamited and destroyed them in March 2001 as part of a campaign to remove all non-Islamic art from Afghanistan.
The statues were among the most famous cultural landmarks of the region, and the site was listed by Unesco as a World Heritage Site along with the surrounding cultural landscape and archaeological remains of the Bamiyan Valley.
Japan and Switzerland, among others, have pledged support for the rebuilding of the statues.

The main Buddha in the Bamiyan valley, 240 kilometers northwest of the Afghan capital Kabul, before total destruction by the Taliban. The 53 meter Buddha was the largest statue in the world. With its strategic location at the intersection of roads to Persia, India, Tarim basin, and China, it developed an art style with a fusion of Iranian, Indian, Gandharan and local style into an independent mode of its own. This style of Buddhist art traveled eastward and was quickly adopted at Kizil, Xinjiang and ultimately Dunhuang. Buddhism reached the height of its power in the 8th and 9th centuries in Afghanistan before it fell to the Arabs.

Alabama National Guard Soldiers recently explored one of Afghanistan's most cultural sites the Buddhas of Bamiyan. Although the Taliban destroyed the giant statues carved into the Bamiyan cliffs in the 6th centaury AD, visitors can still tour the archeological ruins. This spring, three Alabama Soldiers got a rare opportunity to tour the ancient wonder. They climbed into the cliffs, venturing through the winding maze of stairs and tunnels that connect dozens of caves and rooms. The ancient spaces, which have ornate ceilings and festive murals were once used by monks for worship and habitation. Includes sound bites from 2nd Lt. Michael Skinner, Co.

The glorious image of the 6th-century Bamiyan Buddhist statue，destroyed 14 years ago by the Taliban, was recovered by a Chinese couple on June 6 and 7 with lighting technology in Afghanistan.
Zhang Xinyu and his wife Liang Hong are adventure enthusiasts from China.
On the two nights, they used projections to bring back the buddhas' images for eight hours.
Local people were very excited about this event. They sang and danced for the historic moment.
"It's a very historic moment for us, and I think the moment somehow reminds us of the revival of our history, something that was destroyed during the Taliban time. And we were very unhappy about that. This cannot fill the empty place of [the buddhas], but it's something that reminds us that it is not dead."said Javad ，a Bamiyan person.
To avoide any possible affect to the relics, they used metal halogen lamps, and added a quartz glass mask to the light source.
The couple finally voluntary donated the lighting equipment to local department of cultural relics protection, which thus decided to reproduce the images in March every year in the future.
The Bamiyan Buddhas were two 6th-century monumental statues of standing Buddhas carved into the side of a cliff in the Bamiyan valley in the Hazarajat region of central Afghanistan, 230 km northwest of Kabul. Built in 507 AD (the smaller one) and 554 AD (the larger one), respectively, the statues represented the classic and blended style of Gandhara art.
They were destroyed with dynamites in March 2001 by the Taliban, on orders from their leader Mullah Mohammed Omar.
"Although it is just a piece of light, it can shine into Bamiyan and light up the Buddhas. I think it can at least tell people that once there exited a beautiful place, there exited profound culture and long history. We hope the use of lighting technology can show our respect to the culture and history," said Liang Hong.

Buddhas of Bamiyan
Coordinates: 34°49′55.35″N 67°49′36.49″E / 34.8320417°N 67.8268028°E / 34.8320417; 67.8268028
The Buddhas of Bamiyan (Persian: بت های باميان – bothā-ye Bāmiyān) were two 6th-century monumental statues of standing buddha carved into the side of a cliff in the Bamyan valley in the Hazarajat region of central Afghanistan, 230 km (140 mi) northwest of Kabul at an altitude of 2,500 meters (8,200 feet). Built in 507 AD (smaller) and 554 AD (larger), the statues represented the classic blended style of Gandhara art.
The main bodies were hewn directly from the sandstone cliffs, but details were modeled in mud mixed with straw, coated with stucco. This coating, practically all of which wore away long ago, was painted to enhance the expressions of the faces, hands, and folds of the robes; the larger one was painted carmine red and the smaller one was painted multiple colors.
The lower parts of the statues' arms were constructed from the same mud-straw mix while supported on wooden armatures. It is believed that the upper parts of their faces were made from great wooden masks or casts. Rows of holes that can be seen in photographs were spaces that held wooden pegs that stabilized the outer stucco.

Fourteen years after the Taliban dynamited the world-famous Buddhas of Bamiyan, the giant statues were resurrected with 3D light projection technology in the empty cavities where they once stood in Afghanistan.
The project was undertaken by a Chinese couple who used 3D laser light projection technology to fill the empty cavities in the cliff in the Bamiyan Valley in Hazarajat with Buddha's virtual images, 230 km northwest of Kabul.
The couple - Janson Yu and Liyan Hu - were saddened by the destruction of the two statues which were carved during the 6th century and decided to undertake the project.
They took permission both from the Afghan government and UNESCO to bring the statues back for one night only in the empty cavities in the cliff.
The event on June 7 saw projectors displaying huge holographic statues of the exact size of the precious cultural monuments that were lost, accompanied by music.
"The projections were not widely publicised, but over 150 people came to see the spectacle. Crowds remained well into the night and some people played music while others looked on," a journalist, who witnessed the show, was quoted as saying by The Atlanic.
Both Standing Buddhas - 115 ft and 174 ft tall - were carved out of sandstone cliffs and stood at one point painted and gilded. They managed to survive for more than 1500 years.
But the Taliban dynamited and destroyed them in March 2001 as part of a campaign to remove all non-Islamic art from Afghanistan.
The statues were among the most famous cultural landmarks of the region, and the site was listed by Unesco as a World Heritage Site along with the surrounding cultural landscape and archaeological remains of the Bamiyan Valley.
Japan and Switzerland, among others, have pledged support for the rebuilding of the statues.

The event on June 7 saw projectors displaying huge holographic statues of the exact size of the precious cultural monuments that were lost, accompanied by music.
"The projections were not widely publicised, but over 150 people came to see the spectacle. Crowds remained well into the night and some people played music while others looked on," a journalist, who witnessed the show, was quoted as saying by The Atlanic.
Both Standing Buddhas - 115 ft and 174 ft tall - were carved out of sandstone cliffs and stood at one point painted and gilded. They managed to survive for more than 1500 years.
But the Taliban dynamited and destroyed them in March 2001 as part of a campaign to remove all non-Islamic art from Afghanistan.
The statues were among the most famous cultural landmarks of the region, and the site was listed by Unesco as a World Heritage Site along with the surrounding cultural landscape and archaeological remains of the Bamiyan Valley.
Japan and Switzerland, among others, have pledged support for the rebuilding of the statues.

The main Buddha in the Bamiyan valley, 240 kilometers northwest of the Afghan capital Kabul, before total destruction by the Taliban. The 53 meter Buddha was the largest statue in the world. With its strategic location at the intersection of roads to Persia, India, Tarim basin, and China, it developed an art style with a fusion of Iranian, Indian, Gandharan and local style into an independent mode of its own. This style of Buddhist art traveled eastward and was quickly adopted at Kizil, Xinjiang and ultimately Dunhuang. Buddhism reached the height of its power in the 8th and 9th centuries in Afghanistan before it fell to the Arabs.

Alabama National Guard Soldiers recently explored one of Afghanistan's most cultural sites the Buddhas of Bamiyan. Although the Taliban destroyed the giant statues carved into the Bamiyan cliffs in the 6th centaury AD, visitors can still tour the archeological ruins. This spring, three Alabama Soldiers got a rare opportunity to tour the ancient wonder. They climbed into the cliffs, venturing through the winding maze of stairs and tunnels that connect dozens of caves and rooms. The ancient spaces, which have ornate ceilings and festive murals were once used by monks for worship and habitation. Includes sound bites from 2nd Lt. Michael Skinner, Co.

The glorious image of the 6th-century Bamiyan Buddhist statue，destroyed 14 years ago by the Taliban, was recovered by a Chinese couple on June 6 and 7 with lighting technology in Afghanistan.
Zhang Xinyu and his wife Liang Hong are adventure enthusiasts from China.
On the two nights, they used projections to bring back the buddhas' images for eight hours.
Local people were very excited about this event. They sang and danced for the historic moment.
"It's a very historic moment for us, and I think the moment somehow reminds us of the revival of our history, something that was destroyed during the Taliban time. And we were very unhappy about that. This cannot fill the empty place of [the buddhas], but it's something that reminds us that it is not dead."said Javad ，a Bamiyan person.
To avoide any possible affect to the relics, they used metal halogen lamps, and added a quartz glass mask to the light source.
The couple finally voluntary donated the lighting equipment to local department of cultural relics protection, which thus decided to reproduce the images in March every year in the future.
The Bamiyan Buddhas were two 6th-century monumental statues of standing Buddhas carved into the side of a cliff in the Bamiyan valley in the Hazarajat region of central Afghanistan, 230 km northwest of Kabul. Built in 507 AD (the smaller one) and 554 AD (the larger one), respectively, the statues represented the classic and blended style of Gandhara art.
They were destroyed with dynamites in March 2001 by the Taliban, on orders from their leader Mullah Mohammed Omar.
"Although it is just a piece of light, it can shine into Bamiyan and light up the Buddhas. I think it can at least tell people that once there exited a beautiful place, there exited profound culture and long history. We hope the use of lighting technology can show our respect to the culture and history," said Liang Hong.
