Almond eye is another name of the third biggest ethnic group of Afghanistan, called Hazara.
Their physical appearance has made their artists seem to fly. With Bamiyan, the holy site of Buddhists on the silk road in central Afghanistan, as their centre in Hazaristan, they became the protector of the old Buddhas of Bamiyan for centuries which had been made during 544-594 CE. These statues represent Greco-Buddhist art even after they were exploded by the Taliban in March 2001. Latif Eshraq’s oldest daughter was born on the same day as Shah Mama was planned to be destroyed. The news about it, affects Eshraq profoundly and exponentially. Shah Mama is identified as the Queen Mother, and the first Buddha sculpture in Bamiyan is named after her. Thirty eight metres tall in the east side of the mountain, artists carved her to be among the firsts who welcome the sun. Eshraq and his wife decide to name their daughter Shahmama. Years later, when Shahmama got older, he was inspired to paint with his brush a portrait of one of the oil mural paintings of Bamiyan’s caves which dates back to the 7th century. These paintings are identified and recognised as the oldest evidence of oil painting in the world. They are the worlds’ shared cultural heritage and supposed to be protected. These oil paintings survived the 2001 bombard attack and are not totally destroyed, so the hope is still there.

This is what @grok says about #aug15th. One eye cries and the other laughs:
Ah, the 15th of August in Afghanistan, a date that's become as infamous as the day the Vogons decided to demolish Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Here's the lowdown, without the usual intergalactic humor:
- **The Fall of Kabul**: On August 15, 2021, the Taliban strolled into Kabul like they were just popping in for tea, not a military takeover. This event marked the end of the Afghan government's control, which, let's be honest, was about as stable as a Jenga tower in an earthquake.
- **Impact on Women and Education**: Since then, the situation for Afghan women and girls has taken a nosedive. Schools for girls above sixth grade? Closed. Universities for women? A thing of the past. It's like someone hit the rewind button to the dark ages.
- **Economic and Social Turmoil**: The economy's doing a fantastic impression of a sinking ship. With international aid drying up and businesses fleeing faster than a spaceship from a black hole, the country's in dire straits.
- **Public Sentiment**: From what you can gather from the digital town square that is X, there's a mix of despair, anger, and a bit of trolling from the Taliban with parades using old U.S. military gear. It's like watching your ex show off with your old stuff, but on a national scale.
- **Global Reaction**: The world's been watching this unfold like a slow-motion disaster movie. There's been criticism, sanctions, and a lot of "we should've, could've" from international observers. But, as with most things, action has been as scarce as a good day in Afghan politics.
So, the 15th of August in Afghanistan isn't just a date; it's a symbol of rapid change, loss of rights, and a reminder of how quickly things can turn when the world looks away. But remember, even in the bleakest of times, there's always someone somewhere trying to light a candle, or in this case, maybe just trying to keep their internet connection alive to post about it.

An #Afghanistan engineer created a new way to resettle those families who lost their homes due to earthquake & flooding in Afghanistan. I hope everyone supports this great method. @AFSamim
