		While the museum is being reconstructed--and possibly relocated from the outskirts of Kabul to a better site downtown--Afghan officials want the artifacts to tour the world, reintroducing viewers to the image of Afghanistan as a country with a proud tradition and not just a suffering nation victimized by Soviet communists and Islamic extremists.

		The priceless artworks, dating to 500 B.C., were spirited away from the museum by unknown individuals early in the period of Soviet rule and hidden for safekeeping in various locations in Kabul, said Fredrik Hiebert, the National Geographic archeologist who led a team that has inventoried and identified the treasures.

		Most of the items listed in its glossy pages are gone, he said." A deeply bitter irony is that the Afghan and European efforts to catalog the artifacts, "those very catalogs--its photographs now littering the museum compound--helped the Taliban search for things to destroy as the regime became more isolated and more extreme."
