Afghanistan is the Mediterranean bronze age civilizations source for the tin
it’s also the Egyptian empire source of lapizlazuli. One of the reasons for
US being there is USGS got hold of the old Sovjet geo survey maps then
conducted further surveys based on those maps. Secondly the oil pipeline.
Thirdly or firstly depending which secret intel agency you belong to the opiates.
Now, China made a deal with Afgan gov some years ago to mine for copper
unfortunately for China the site turned out to be a mine area that was
dated back to when Afghanistan was Buddhist so the Afgan gov put an
hold on all mining.The estimated worth of the ore bodies of Neodymium
Lanthanum , Cerium, Iron, Copper is estimated 2 Trillion USD, that do
not count in the other surveyed rare earth minerals they found nor the
ones still undiscovered. Afghanistan could be an extremely wealthy
country but at least 3 big elephants dont want that!
