#Afghanistan, Badakhshan Province, the village of Mughol-Hafez

A few moments before the melee of men and animals known as the game of Buzkashi. The game is played on horseback with a goat or lamb carcass. The day before the game, the goat’s throat is slit and its blood removed. The carcass is soaked in water overnight to make it heavier. Played since the times of Genghis Khan, now banned by the Taliban, this warrior’s game is played by two teams who fight for possession of the carcass, and is popular among the peoples of Central Asia: Kirghiz, Pashtuns, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Hazaras, Tajiks and Turkmen. The game was the subject of Joseph Kessel’s book Les Cavaliers. Published in 1967, it is considered Kessel’s masterpiece.
