This work reports on a real adventure in earth science and
conservation, dealing with the UNESCO s emergency activities
implemented in Bamiyan (Central Afghanistan) for the recovery and
rehabilitation of the cliff and niches after the destruction of the
two famous Giant Statues in 2001.
Since 2002 an international effort has been made to understand the
geological characteristics of the area, the mechanical properties
of local materials, petro-geophysical and sedimentological details
as well as the historical and geological evolution of the Statues
and cliff. Taken together, this information serves as a basis for
the recovery and rehabilitation of the cliff and niches and is
presented in detail.
