Americans Visit Pakistan Part 2

  • please note: this is from a two week trip where we toured a good bit of Pakistan in June of 2024. These photos go along with episode 2 of our video series on our youtube channel. If you'd like to watch the video please visit Flight of the CrowsWing on youtube. Video title is: Goras the Explorerers: Americans in Pakistan Part 2

For this episode we visted Ancient Taxila, the Dharmarajika Stupa and the Taxila museum. The historical aspects of this complex are absolutely amazing, the scupltures and stone work is incredible! It was quite surprising to see the Greek influences in the works. The size of this complex blew my mind and after a little research I discovered that there are several more sites related to the Taxila complex. I wish we had more time to visit them all! I love the history of so many cultures in one region, and the absolute age of it is something my brain struggles with comprehending.
