After finding Geoff’s WOGE118, I’m happy to publish the next challenge. Find the location of the picture on Google Earth and identify the site and the main period of occupation. The first one to get it correct gets to host the next challenge.

Site of the buddha statue at Bamyan in Afghanistan?
Built around 500 AD. Infamously destroyed in 2001.
Is that right? Am I first?

Yep – you got it! Well done, I thought the walled enclosure might fool people! So it’s over to you for the next WOGE.

Yippee!
I think this calls for a new blog. If you’d just give me 24 hours I’ll post the link here.
