125ft Buddha statue, of the Buddhas of Bamiyan, Afghanistan. It stood from approximately 570 until 2001.

It was one of two large Buddha statues in the Bamiyan valley, but they were destroyed in 2001 by the Taliban.
What amazing work wrought by human hands, and so carelessly destroyed.
Nah, this wasn't careless... carelessness would insinuate that there was some mistake or accident or it was unintentional.
This was destroyed by a bunch of religious extremists with intention.
