## Caption

This site in Balkh, Afghanistan has 5,000 years of history. Mitra worshippers. Zoroastrians. Buddhists called it Naw Bahar. And then in 794 AD, the first mosque ever built in what is today Afghanistan, and one of the oldest surviving Islamic buildings in the eastern Islamic world. Noh Gonbad. 1,232 years later, most of the world still doesn’t know it exists.
