I cant Express my thankfullness the way i would Like to because english isnt my best language. Just stay the way you are . God Bless you. Greetings from Germany!

Awesome videos Chris, watching you daily! As someone far away from home you bring us joy through your journeys

Let's go!!! My boy been in every Afghan hood!!

Very Calm and peaceful country to live for next era. ❤❤❤

I left AFG as a kid 25 years ago, have always been fascinated about this monument, I think this is the first time and the only detailed footage of that area and the below ground structure. Thank you for the video 😘👌

I love your vids man,and I just subscribed. I’ve been binge watching them at night before bed. These types of areas you visit would be loaded with tourists if they were in the states... Crazy to see how empty they are, and the lack of info on these big historical monuments. At least they’re somewhat preserved for the most part. Awesome stuff, I wish you safety in all of your endeavors 👍

Thank you So Much for Coming

This A-)-K 4,-7 is sign of peace ☮️ bcz bst people gain power in hands

My fam said that “they don’t like what boast. Castle stands for and thus is irrelevant” they care not about it. I would interpret via my translator that as them saying Afg people are tired and want to move forward, live life in harmony with the world in business whilst unjudmentally being able to maintain their Islamic foundation.

Another great video take care much love from the UK 🇬🇧

This was an ancient jail, where the prisoners would be kept in these small rooms around the main hole. The doors would only be opened if someone was to be put in or someone was to be released. The food and water was brought down throw small sky windows in each floor. The most notorious prisoners were kept here with no meetings. It was also called as the oven because of the heat in summer.

Incredible place! Thank you very much for sharing :-)

Hey Chris, just went through your Afghanistan trip, awesome content bro, thank you for showing so much of what is going on there! After so many foreign invasions/interventions, now these people need to endure extremists rulers...hoping one day they THEMSELVES will put an end to this and live like free people!

That was a big mission

I am Afgan and this is the first time I really see whats in helmand thank you

The first time i have seen such building in Afghanistan and not from national geographic channel.

Would be nice if you added a map with your exact position 👌 Nice content! You got a new sub 😉

By the way the castle was made in the 10th century, also the holes are for lighting

This was the old city since 1000-1800 and was the one trade center …

Scariest part is on stairs. Nice effort.

The history of Afghanistan تاریخ افغانستان‎ as a state began in 1880 with its establishment following the end of the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The written recorded history of the land presently constituting Afghanistan can be traced back to around 500 BCE when the area was under the Achaemenid Empire, although evidence indicates that an advanced degree of urbanized culture has existed in the land since between 3000 and 2000 BCE. Bactria dates back to 2500 BC. The Indus Valley Civilisation stretched up to large parts of Afghanistan in the north. Alexander the Great and his Macedonian army arrived at what is now Afghanistan in 330 BCE after the fall of the Achaemenid Empire during the Battle of Gaugamela. Since then, many empires have risen from Afghanistan, including the Greco-Bactrians, Kushans, Hephthalites, Saffarids, Samanids, Ghaznavids, Ghorids, Khaljis, Timurids, Mughals, Hotakis and Durranis. Afghanistan meaning "land of the Afghans" or "Afghan land" has been a strategically important location throughout history. The land served as "a gateway to India, impinging on the ancient Silk Road, which carried trade from the Mediterranean to China". Sitting on many trades and migration routes, Afghanistan may be called the 'Central Asian roundabout' since routes converge from the Middle East, from the Indus Valley through the passes over the Hindu Kush, from the Far East via the Tarim Basin, and from the adjacent Eurasian Steppe. The Iranian languages were developed by one branch of these people; the Pashto language spoken today in Afghanistan by the ethnic Afghans, Pashtuns is one of the Eastern Iranian languages. Elena E. Kuz'mina argues that the tents of Iranian-speaking nomads of Afghanistan developed from the light surface houses of the Eurasian steppe belt in the Bronze Age. The Arab invasions influenced the culture of Afghanistan, and its pre-Islamic period of Zoroastrian, Macedonian, Buddhist and Hindu past has long vanished. Mirwais Hotak followed by Ahmad Shah Durrani unified Afghan tribes and founded the last Afghan Empire in the early 18th century CE. Afghanistan is inhabited by many diverse peoples: the Pashtuns, Tajiks, Hazaras, Uzbeks, Turkmen, Aimak, Pashayi, Baloch, Pamiris, Nuristanis, and others

Can a woman from Kenya visit there 😳🤔 ⁉️🙏

hahaha,you talked about taliban shoes,they fought and won wars with russia and Nato,while wearing those shoes.those ''unfit'' shoes are a famous thing.

due to security and unkown attacks on taliban..they strict thier securites about showing camera

Be careful 🙏🏻

About the Kassel, I think this is not a Kassel witch is built on top of kinda small mounten or something like this...this are huge Buldings witch are flooded with earth...I don't know how but it's what I fell about this things

Lol they Gave you Gaurd as Guest as honor and good gesture. And you identify every Pashtoon as taliban lol

They should erase that miserable place from existence!

ARH+ kidney for sale is healthy witout problem i want to sell because Im in bad financial situation price 9000$ helpme find real buyer who need it🇦🇫

I am sorry taliban has to act like this way.

This was part of the greater Zoroastrian civilizations, the architecture is also very much like Sassanian architecture in Iran, as this area was part of the Persian empire

people be smart this person is a liar who would be financed by the suodiarbaia that he shows in Afghanistan everything is orderly and women have their freedom everyone makes him report

Afghanistan is only 200 years old but khorasan had history over a thousand year old.

Afganistan was a peaceful Buddhist country
