The "Glistening Treasures in the Dust - Ancient Artefacts of Afghanistan" exhibition, being held at the Hong Kong Museum of History until February 10, displays 231 items/sets of rare artefacts, including goldware, glassware, bronze sculptures and ivory carvings, unearthed from four archaeological sites in Afghanistan. This exhibition shows the profound influence of ancient cultures such as Greek, Indian and Roman on Afghanistan and its surrounding regions from the Bronze Age to the first century AD. These artefacts also attest to the role played by ancient Afghanistan as the cultural crossroads of the Silk Road, which promoted the exchange and integration of world civilisations.
