art history
I think that these sculptures of Buddha were so wonderful. I love that they were inside the mountain and that the monks used to like in caves around the sculptures. It's so nice to see how much they put into their religion you could tell how hard they worked on them. As for the tearing down of these statues, I think that it's incredibly sad that they would destroy such wonderful pieces of art, and not only that but how hard they worked to destroy it. I think that there should be something in place to protect artifacts and ancient art, but because things like this are so large and so public it's hard to figure out exactly what to do. And because the scale of the destruction was so large, it probably would've ended up getting through anything that had been put in place.
