General Note:

“July 2001. Gary bowersox travels into the hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan to find the oldest mine on earth. Rich blue lapis lazuli, the precious gemstone that decorates the death mask of Tutankhamun, is still minded in the remote mountains. The journey there involves slipping over the border at night and climbing some of the highest passes on earth. Travelling by horseback, Gary follows in the footsteps of Alexander the great and Marco Polo. In the nearby Panjsher valley Gary meets old Afghan friends and visits emerald mines. The vein of raw gemstones was uncovered by Russian bombs, and is now one of the most important sources of emeralds in the world.”—disc cover.
