Afghanistan: 3000-year-old Zaranj Arg faces risk of destruction

Shafaqna English- The Zaranj Arg in Nimroz is believed to be around 3,000 years old, according to historical accounts, and once served as an important administrative center and residence for kings and rulers; however, some sections have been damaged by age and lack of maintenance.

Several cultural activists and Nimroz residents have expressed concern over what they describe as insufficient government attention to the Nad Ali castle and other historic sites in the province.

Nimroz resident Ahmad Shah said: “We ask the government not to allow anyone to excavate such historic sites or smuggle artifacts to other countries.
