When we think of the Persian empire today, we rarely recognise that the lands of modern-day Afghanistan were once a core part of it. Decades of war and looting have meant the country hasn’t had the steady archaeology and excavation of its ancient past that Iran has. So when I came across this Sasanian rock relief of King Shapur I in Baghlan province, I had to share it with you all.

Are there any other little-known ancient sites in Afghanistan that you’ve come across?
