Mes Aynak is the name of an ancient Buddhist monastery in Afghanistan from the 2nd century BC covering 4500 square metre which is under threat from mining currently ( see article). This should be mentioned in the article. -- Diggindeeper ( talk) 12:08, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Well, it's not from BC but from 2.-7. cent. AD. BTW, does anybody have the correct coordinates for Mes Aynak??

This article describes things quite differently from the angry 2nd paragraph of the Archaeological excavation section, which got left in the article with only a citation needed tag. Narayanese ( talk) 08:11, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
Aynak is in no way the world's second largest copper deposit. It is large, but 6 million tons of copper is surpassed by numerous other deposits worldwide. It is certainly the largest known copper deposit in Afghanistan.

Something i odd i found while reading through this article;
"The Buddhist ruins were scheduled to be destroyed at the end of July 2012, but for several reasons, including political instability, this has been delayed."
Is it me, or does this sound a bit POV'ish? Why would the ruins be destroyed? Aren't they an integral part of Afghan history? Seems like someone wrote this for the fun of it without sources. If no one objects, i will delete this line. Akmal94 ( talk) 03:17, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
I've moved it back to the spelling used in the sources, or at least most of them as I haven't checked them all. I was searching for the meaning of the name and it quickly became obvious that Mes Aynak was the best way to search and greatly outnumbered other spellings in Google Books and Scholar.
