In September 1978, while the country was still accessible to tourists, I left with a small group for Afghanistan. At an altitude of 1900 m and far from any agglomeration, in a steep valley at the confluence of the rivers Hari-rud and Jam, I found myself in front of the splendid minaret of Jam. 65 meters high, it is entirely covered with a geometrical decoration in relief with a kufic inscription in turquoise tiles. It would have been built in 1194 by the great Ghurid sultan Ghiyas-od-din (1153-1203).
Since 2002, it is registered by UNESCO on the list of the world heritage in danger. Scientists have not had access to it since 2010.
Courant septembre 1978, alors que le pays était encore accessible aux touristes, je suis parti, avec un petit groupe pour l'Afghanistan. A 1 900 m d'altitude et loin de toute agglomération, dans une vallée escarpée au confluent des rivières Hari-rud et Jam, je me suis retrouvé devant le splendide minaret de Jam. Haut de 65 mètres, il est entièrement recouvert d'un décor géométrique en relief agrémenté d'une inscription coufique en tuiles turquoises. Il aurait été construit en 1194 par le grand sultan ghuride Ghiyas-od-din (1153-1203).
Depuis 2002, il est inscrit par l'UNESCO sur la liste du patrimoine mondial en péril. Les scientifiques n'y ont plus accès dépuis 2010.

The superb valley of Bamiyan was photographed here from ... the head of the Grand Bouddha. You could access to it through a network of tunnels leading to the upper part of the niche from where the statue was carved.
