140 PK - Buddhist Ruins of Takht-i-Bahi and Neighbouring City Remains at Sahr-i-Bahlol (1980)

Brief Description

"The Buddhist monastic complex of Takht-i-Bahi (Throne of Origins) was founded in the early 1st century. Owing to its location on the crest of a high hill, it escaped successive invasions and is still exceptionally well preserved. Nearby are the ruins of Sahr-i-Bahlol, a small fortified city dating from the same period."

塔克特依巴依佛教遗址和萨尔依巴赫洛古遗址

"塔克特依巴依(王位的起源)的佛教寺庙建筑群是于1世纪早期修建的,由于它坐落在高山的顶端,所以躲避了一次又一次的侵略,至今仍然保存完好。附近有萨尔依巴赫洛古遗迹,萨尔依巴赫洛是同一时期的一座防备森严的小城。"
