Bagram

Bagram (بگرام Bagrām), founded as Alexandria on the Caucasus and known in medieval times as Kapisa, is a small town and seat in Bagram District in Parwan Province of Afghanistan, about 60 kilometers north of the capital Kabul. It is the site of an ancient city located at the junction of the Ghorband and Panjshir Valley, near today's city of Charikar, Afghanistan.

The location of this historical town made it a key passage from Ancient India along the Silk Road, leading westwards through the mountains towards Bamiyan.

History

It is unknown when the site was originally settled. In the mid 6th century BC, Cyrus the Great of the Persian Achaemenid Dynasty destroyed the city as part of his campaign against the Saka nomads in the region. The town, however, was soon rebuilt by his successor Darius I.

In the 320s BC, Alexander the Great captured the city and established a fortified colony named Alexandria of the Caucasus. The new town, laid out in the "hippodamian plan" or iron-grid pattern—a hallmark of Greek city planning, had brick walls reinforced with towers at the angles. The central street was bordered with shops and workshops.

Sougon na tsuki no shita wo aruite

(English)
Walking under a solemn moon
A traveler searching for an unseen tomorrow
At times confused, at times impatient
at times seeming about to collapse
A path that seems to continue for eternity
In the flowers swaying beside my feet
joy is blooming
Please don't overlook
the small signs of love
The mystery of a life that returns,
like the way a star is born...
Because I am always breathing,
within you.
The form of one fighting, at the limits of their strength
A traveler pursuing the reason for sadness
At time worried, at times wounded,
at times being betrayed
A steep wall blocking the way
In the wind that runs through the earth
gentleness is dwelling
Please try and hear
the whispered words of love
The mystery of a life that returns,
like the way the seasons change...
Because I am always watching over you.
In the flowers swaying beside my feet
joy is blooming
Please don't overlook
the small signs of love
The mystery of a life that returns,
like the way the morning awakens...
Because I am always breathing,
