Came across the show Journeys to the End of the World on @historyhit The episode The Lost Buddhas of Afghanistan talk about the Buddhas of Bamiyan that dated back to roughly 550-650 AD. Sadly these statues were destroyed by the Taliban in 2001.

The voyage taken by host and photojournalist David Adams @davidadamsfilms to get to the statues is amazing. If you can watch it, do so.
