****To this day, the identity of the key holders to whom the museum owes this priceless collection is unknown. Christian Manhart, an Afghanistan specialist at UNESCO, believes there may have been only one key holder, though legend says otherwise.
"The Afghans are adept at the art of secrets, and they really know how to create a mystery," he says. "Every time you ask, you hear a different story."***
What a joy to read about! And what a great mystery. The article mentioned a possible stop for the exhibit in the US. Wouldn't that be great??
