text: Archeologists have uncovered a hoard of gold jewellery and coins at an ancient Buddhist settlement at 35km south Kabul. The sites includes an ancient copper mine, a series of monasteries, and what may be homes or workshops at Mes Ainak in Logar province. A Chinese state mining company won a $3bn contract to mine the rest of the copper deposit, one of the largest in the world, which sits directly beneath the ancient settlement.
