The Mogao Caves of Dunhuang
Manage episode 343373846 series 3403039
If you ever get a chance, make sure to visit the Mogao Caves of Dunhuang.
In today's Gansu Province, the town of Dunhuang, situated on the historic Silk Road, witnessed a thousand years' worth of travelers: merchants and pilgrims, holy men and knaves, and not only Chinese but members of many races speaking many languages. And, starting in 366 A.D., they began to leave in these caves spectacular murals and statues as well as priceless documents. The rediscovery of the Mogao Caves in the early 20th century has since then reshaped and immeasurably enriched our understanding of the past.
