@samadarab never failed to impress KP in particular and Pakistan in general. His contribution is exemplary in the field Archaeology & Museum. Now another feather in his crown for getting The Kalash Valleys inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage Tentative list.

Daily scam calls from new numbers claiming I have a “parcel.” They send disappearing WhatsApp codes
Postal and courier companies need to step up. This is getting ridiculous.

Bruno my brother’s old dog passed away today. He was one fine dog. Loved by everyone in the family. He had his own way of becoming friends with everyone and touching their heart. He will be truly missed. Goodbye Bruno.

Proud moment for KP, services of Pakistan's top expert @samadarab requested by Govt of Sindh for upgradation of Mohenjo Daro Museum.
Heritage of Pakistan is common & GOKP will always help & support all such efforts to protect & promote it wherever required.

5000 years ago, in Mohenjodaro Sindh, an animal stepped across wet bricks and left its paws pressed into time. Perhaps it was slipping, struggling to hold balance , unaware that this smallest struggle can become eternal.

Kafir Kot temples along the Indus river in DIKHAN are probably the oldest Hindu Shahi temples in Pakistan at least, circa 7th century (Ref: Temples Along The Indus, Michael W. Meister)
@samadarab can shed some light on it as his team is working on the restoration of these.

The Last Hindu Kings of Pakistan For many years I have been obsessed with the Hindu Shahis of Gandhara - the last Hindu dynasty to rule over modern Pakistan.

@FaisalAminKhan @ImranKhanPTI @AliAminKhanPTI @MuzzammilAslam3 @HISTORY @IKPeshawar @KPDOAMOfficial @kptourism @GovernmentKP Yes sir, @SamDalrymple123 is talking about the same Hindu Shahi temples alongside the Indus in D I khan. Both cluster of North and South Kafirkot temples are representing the chronology of these early Gandhara-Nagara Hindu temples.

Samad is among those (rare types frankly the endangered species of bureaucracy) who live & work for their passions. It's not just KP but Pakistan's luck to have such people, who pour in their hearts & souls into their jobs.
Personally I have learnt a lot from him not just about archaeology but history, heritage, culture & much more.
