Touring Afghanistan's Ancient Citadel In Herat | Marco Polo Reloaded

Bradley writes tourist guides mostly about Asia, but this time he is working on a very special project, retracing the route Marco Polo took from Venice over 750 years ago, happy with any transport he can get, always going East, along the great Silk Road. He’s been on the road for over a few months, and has now made it to Afghanistan. Starting in the city of Herat, he sees the ancient citadel, which dates back to Alexander the Great. He makes his way to Badakshan in search of the world’s oldest Lapis Lazuli mines , before hitching a ride to China, where he sees one of the oldest parts of the Great Wall.

The Afghani’s are tough people. Perhaps now that the us is done with their poppy fields they can heal themselves . Peace be upon them !

I'm from Iran and i love afghans and tajiks, because of the backward regime we have got, we never learn about our brothers & sisters in these countries despite having so much in common, i wish one day we will carry one banner again🌹

It's an old documentary. The host can't sit so close to the woman in today's regime.

Typically blind British historiography. No mention of the British attempt to seize Afghanistan? Ugh. Tell the truth!

[@tumomokone9987]

The British is another story anyone is free to tell. This video is about retracting the steps of Marco Polo Afghanistan
