Afghanistan once housed tourists from around the world intrigued by the Silk Road stories, the poetic and mystic culture, the majestic landscape and the hospitable people. Their experience in Afghanistan was frequently captured through journalism and photojournalism of the early 1900s.

This is a pernicious myth that threatens not only social but spiritual life, and not only humanity but also the whole of creation.
