    That’s a fascinating question about the Bamiyan Buddhas. It really makes you think about history and its complexities. Speaking of complex systems, has anyone here tried Pokerogue and Pokerogue Dex ? The randomness and deck building are surprisingly engaging. I’m trying to complete my Pokerogue dex, it’s a real challenge learning all the card combinations! Any tips for a budding Pokerogue master?

    The Statues were built by Buddisht Monks that inhabited the area especially the Caves, and were situated at Bamiyann the Hindu Kush that was an important crossroads of the Silk Road (the most important trade route of tha ancient world.
    The Taliban destroyed them in 2001 due to their strong dislike of other religions that are not Islam, as they are an extremist branch of Islam....they used antiaircraft guns and mines to take them down....This kind of destructive behaviour will be seen later on in other extremist groups like Daesh in Syria and Irak.....

Do you agree that 'History repeats itself'? If so, would you dare to face famine, war, or black death in the present version 2.0? Institutions have taught you that you must study history in order to 1.) know the origin of a place or thing, 2.) have facts in almost everything, 3.) have a glimpse of the past, or 4.) have an insight of the future. Anything else?
Is 'History repeats itself' an equivalent of predestination - trying to make things better but still, 'History repeats itself'? Reconsider that future cannot be determined by the past rather the choices made in the present. Sometimes, it's 'Past is past'.
