Hello!
Back again with one video that you may have probably enjoyed already as part of your daily videos. It's an introduction to a wonderful exhibition at the British Museum. Unfortunately, it was on show last year, so there is no way for us to fly to London and see it now... To make up for it, we do have the chance to watch a wealth of videos kindly uploaded by the British Museum.
Here are some comprehension questions for this video, which tells the story of the preservation of Afghan national treasures from the atrocities of war.
1. Who discovered the nomads’ graves?
2. When did they decide to hide the objects? Which objects were to be hidden? Where?
3. Why has Mr Omar Sultan supported the exhibition to be shown outside Afghanistan?
4. According to him, what do Afghans want to share with the world?
I hope you enjoy it very much! It's nice to be back, and I'd LOVE to see a bunch of comments for this video!
