Cool news of the day:
Scientists map lost Afghan Buddha
Basically, computer models are being generated as a step toward the reconstruction of the ancient Buddha statues destroyed by the Taliban. They would be about $60m each, but I'm sure that there are plenty of Buddhists in Asia who would be happy to finance their reconstruction.
This fits into a broader picture, along with the restoration of the Iraqi marshes and the eventual construction of a new World Trade Center. All testaments to civilization's resilience
