Follow me as I explore every country in the world!Thanks for watching!
Chris
Afghanistan is an ancient country not new. 5000 years some say 10,000 years old. God know best.
Hello Chris thank you for visiting Helmand, AFG. may God bless Islamic Emirate for safe Afghanistan ❤🤍❤🏳🏳🏳
to go khordi awlad sag be namos padar nalat khodet da beron kon mete amadi ba maa talib mekhaie tuff ba zat tan awlad hai harami
No guns no views, however this place is absolutely mind blowing and deserves more attention! Great video!
People want guns!
I can only imagine what the Afghan architecture was like in its day, The citadel looked absolutely amazing! Dope vlog Chris 🏳️!
Yes, I agree it must have been amazing. I must admit it was difficult to see such ancient ruins destroyed by modern wars and lack of security. Helmand has hundreds if not thousands of structures on the side of the road that are falling apart and need help, as soon as possible. I understand war is not predictable and the country needs help in many areas, but this is the history of the country and deserves some effort.
@@ChrisMustList Agreed
Wish You all the Best Mr Christ And hopefully soon come back and make a more beautiful videos From Afghanistan 🇦🇫
Thanks to you Cris and family giving you chance to explore 🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫🌹🙏 ، When you get sick eat alot of sweet fruit .
Amazing, I hope that eventually there will be more efforts put to restore and preserve such historical place
Yes, I agree. This type of history needs to last.
Another great video take care much love from the UK 🇬🇧

Excellent reporting Chris, you make us Canadian’s 🇨🇦 proud, your courage for filming in such a dangerous country. Stay safe .
Hahahaha 😁 dangerous country, Canada is safe 😆
Yes, Canada is safe I'm sure Tony was referring to Afghanistan being dangerous (not Canada).
Thank you Tony, I appreciate your kind words.
And how exactly is it a dangerous country? Ffs, come out of your little bubble.
Let's go!!! My boy been in every Afghan hood!!

You are positive minded, delivering nice message to the world!
This A-)-K 4,-7 is sign of peace ☮️ bcz bst people gain power in hands
I randomly found your Channel some weeks ago and watched some of your Videos since then. I want to say thank you sir for all what you are doing. 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!
Incredible place! Thank you very much for sharing :-)
Thank you So Much for Coming
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.
That was a big mission
Awesome videos Chris, watching you daily! As someone far away from home you bring us joy through your journeys
I appreciate that!
Great job Chris 🙏🙏👍👍
Thank you!
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.
Wow!
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 😘👌
Great job! be safe all.
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!
The first time i have seen such building in Afghanistan and not from national geographic channel.
I am Afgan and this is the first time I really see whats in helmand thank you
Youshould see Nuristan province of
Afghanistan
More to explore of course.
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 very much, I appreciate that.
Im a new subscriber.
Love your work. From Milano 🇮🇹
Welcome aboard!
good exercise
It sure is (or was)!
Amazing ancient❤
This was the old city since 1000-1800 and was the one trade center …
Very informative
Love from Pakistan 🦁🇵🇰❤️🇦🇫🦁
By the way the castle was made in the 10th century, also the holes are for lighting
The large hole that has been constructed was only for lighting? Seems like it would be for something more complex. But you could be correct.
@@ChrisMustList there probably are more uses for them but as far as I know thery are for lighting
Scariest part is on stairs. Nice effort.
Very deep
Braver Chris😶
Ahhh.. the dreaded D&V!! I hope you are feeling better.. it only lasts 3-4 days.. "usually"!! 💪
By the way chris your a breve man
If i want to spend a month in afghanistan (from america) how much do i need to save?.... beautiful country.

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
You saw that video Taliban hanging from C-130 plane! Crazy!
Not referring to the crowd one when they were exiting! The one in which C-130 is parked and few Talibans are swinging from the propeller!
Water Hull in ancient times. This kind of water Hull you can find in iran. Afghanistan. Tajikistan. Turkmenistan. Uzbekistan.
I appreciate that, I was surprised to find very little info on these structures.
2:13 mem 'oh no' when you see Students(Taleban) it made me lough 🤣🤣🤣
Goodness me the amount of people making trips to Afghanistan is shocking....
Ever notice when you buy a new car, you start to see that same car on the street all the time? It's just because you are watching for them.
My gosh. For having such a small sensor your little Sony camera does pretty good in low light.
I agree! It's the best.
👍
It's really old and ancient tho😎
Barech king house
When you are coming back to Pakistan?
👍👍👍
10:30 i laughed so hard at this scene lmfao
the guy is already so carefully walking down the stairs, stop awhile turn on a flashlight then continue walking only to find a huge hole on the next turn
dangerous af
And I'm scared of heights!
@@ChrisMustList yea i would be terrified too
the way they designed the structure is like every turn they want you to walk into the big hole, then the stairs is kinda 'hidden' on the left due to the spiral lol, or atleast how it looks like through the camera
❤🇦🇫
👍🌞
Stay safe brother🤍
Once in Peshawer take a Flight to Chitral Go and meet Kalash Tribe Emma has been there also, she can explain to you , and please stay with the Kalash Family guest house, Not with Outsider hotels,that have taken over the TOURISM Business,
❤️🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫
You should hire someone who speaks both official languages than we see that you fair and square.
This video has zero translating, so why do you want to add a negative comment that has nothing to do with with this video? Let me guess, you are trying to help me.
@@ChrisMustList
No Mr chris you do a great job and would like to promote it just I am suggesting you what is best for your hard work.
@@ChrisMustList learn to take polite constructive criticism
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It looks like you don’t have Pashto speakers friends with you
due to security and unkown attacks on taliban..they strict thier securites about showing camera
Very nice cris
I have book that writes about this place if any one interested i can email it
Yes please
Send me your email address
Chris must list you taking again the wrong people for ur translation.ur translator is like you that they cannot speak thier national language like you, would have been better and easy for you to had the person, who can translate directly
Chris you deleted my comment 🙁 of places to visit 🧐
I didn't delete anything. Some comments are filtered by TH-cam. You are welcome to try again.
this place i want to see،brother can you share this guy(guide contact details
I'm not using a guide, I am with a friend I met in Kabul. He doesn't do this for a job.

Wearing on a beard and a turban don't make one Talib.
How about a beard, turban, gun and we picked him up from the Taliban HQ and drove him in our car. Then is he confirmed to be Talib?
@@ChrisMustList ignore them chris. Just enjoy your trip.
Munir statement is also true my father and grand fathers wear turbans have beard, wear guns and bullets belts for fashion/culture purpose, but aren't talib.
Now in this scenario, when the person is officially assigned by Taliban HQ to perform their security task he's definitely a talib.
Talib is someone working with Taliban government or Taliban groups and not the dress or beard thing.
More explanation: in my area unless you don't join Taliban groups/officials in some official activity you're not called as Talib , no matter you have the most strict ideology but not preaching it= you're called talib.
But when you preach/promote taliban ideology, either in mosques or in Public, then no matter if you're doing it officially or by your own then, you're 100% talib.
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
Can a woman from Kenya visit there 😳🤔 ⁉️🙏
Be careful 🙏🏻
They should erase that miserable place from existence!
Lol they Gave you Gaurd as Guest as honor and good gesture. And you identify every Pashtoon as taliban lol
You may look at it as a nice gesture, and the rest of the world would look at it as extremely controlling. Not being able to photograph or video people or places is not normal, and not for my safety at all. How do you want to be taken seriously if you start your comment with LOL?
@@ChrisMustList that is the problem US took 20 years to figure out Pashtoon culture they have thier own psychic and Norms as western its hard to figure out as long as you are in Afghanistan they take your safety as thier religious duty and they can sacrifice hundreds of lives just for thier Honor. You Need to read some good book about Pashtoon Wali (Pashtoon Traditions) that is why taliban refused to handover OBL to US they sacrifice 1 Million afghans thier Govt because OBL status was Guest.
Chris must list please if you don't have the right information, then stop to bring them out. Otherwise it is akind of propaganda.
@@ChrisMustList you said that the local nationals from around the historical place got into the historical place because of Taliban fight but it is not true at all. I am from lashker gah. It was because of NATO and Western killer forces like British army air force and US air force, they were there to had air forces. Then no one was safe at Thier own place because of Thier bombardments. Taliban did have air forces. The simple logic is that no one invited British forces or us killings forces there to bring them destroction and killings. By the way that historical place had no Taliban during fightings. I hope u got to understand simply. Me not here to defend or to blame someone but to tell the facts.
@@kaankaan1679 I appreciate you sharing your facts. All the best!
@@ChrisMustList I hope u did not misunderstand me. You doing great job and making great video. Fan of ur video. Keep watching ur videos.
@@kaankaan1679 I'm not worried Kaan, I am not perfect, nor do I claim to be. I am sure you will find atleast one mistake in every video I make. Thanks for watching!
Brother you should have a pashto speaking translator. Your translator can not speak pashto.
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.
This man had perfect shoes on, but he didn't have them all the way on his feet, and he ran down the hill as if he were skiing. I had new Nike on and had trouble. I wasn't making fun of his shoes, I was impressed with his downhill ability.
@@ChrisMustList i know you are not making fun of him,rather you were impressed by his skill,Nato and russia was also impressed by their gorilla warfare techniques.
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
This area was never really part of the persian empire. The Persians invaded and suffered huge casualties there and left and didn't even have control over the area. That's why when the Muslims steamrolled the persian empire, the fleeing Persian elites didn't flee to modern day helmand because they had no authority there.
What a BS !
It was part of sasanid empire but sasanids have paid tax to afghan kings ?
How can such extreme contradiction be carried inside a thinking person ?
Oh i know the key to understand this CONTRADICTION is the fact that iran central part was known as "jahuddiah" a place that is inhabited by jews.
Now look at the ethnicity of all the historians that wrote all these "PERSIAN EMPIRES BS" , 98% of them are jewish !
The funny part is all they claim to be products of sasanid and achemanid empires have neighbours culture and art signature , we still havent found one single artefact that has a unique signature of such ALEGEDLY huge empires which based on archeology science its IMPOSSIBLE !
History is written by the victors , even some iranian historians have confessed that iran was founded right after the collapse of ottoman empire , and they have pretty compelling evidences that prove around 1880 theres a obvious trace of a huge major history manipulation attempts all over the world .
The house of cards is falling.
In iran lorestan theres a statue that shows sasanids conquering another nation , by having a foot on the body of the conquered leader, but the aleged sasanid emperor how stepped on the leader has the afghani clothes that ppl in afghanistan still wear !
The artefact is more aligned with the fact that sasanids leaders (i doubt they were kings, let alone emperors) were paying taxes to afghans..
This fake history will collapse very soon .
