Why "Bagram" instead of "Kapisa"?[edit]

I'd like to help improve this article. Is there a town here currently named Bagram, and is this really the city of Kapisa that also served as a capital of the Kushano-Hephthalites? Thomas Lessman (talk) 06:02, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Kapisi : the ancient city of Kapisa was located in Parwan Province, in or near present-day Bagram. Wisdood (talk) 08:50, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

changed imprecise description of location[edit]

This was written in the article: Its location made it a key passage into India along the Silk Road about 60 kilometers northwest of Kabul and towards Bamiyan.

Bagram is north not nortwest of Kabul
Bamiyan (or Bamyan) is west of bagram. This sentence suggests that Bamiyan is even more northwest, this is not correct.

I tried to fix that. The article after my changes --Zaccarias (talk) 23:18, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

located at the junction of the valleys?[edit]

... was an ancient city located at the junction of the Ghorband and Panjshir valleys. Does this only apply to the ancient city? Was ancient Kapisa really located close to todays Bagram village?--Zaccarias (talk) 23:22, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your question is similar to Thomas Lessman 's question on 06 h 02, 14 May 2008 ... Wisdood (talk) 08:48, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Begram?[edit]

The name Begram is used for the "Begram treasure" (part of which is currently on display at the British Museum) as described in this article. Is Begram still an alternative name for Bagram? If not, when did it change? TonySever (talk) 17:28, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
