Caption: This photograph taken from a helicopter shows an aerial view of Mazar-i-Sharif in Balkh province on February 4, 2013. Once known as the 'mother of cities,' the ancient city of Balkh was a popular destination along the ancient Silk Route. Balkh was destroyed by Mongol conqueror Genghis Khan during his rule, with the city's ruins remaining as a tourist attraction today.
