Japanese funding could reportedly be used to  rebuild the sculptures.They were once painted a variety of colours, the scientists said, including dark blue, pink, orange, red and white."The Buddhas once had an intensely colourful appearance," Emmerling said.Based on their investigation, the scientists also dated the smaller  Buddha to between the years 544 and 595. The bigger Buddha was built  between 591 and 644, they said.A conference in Paris to debate the future of the Buddhas is expected to take place next week, the statement said.The niches where they once stood overlooking Bamiyan city, the eponymous  capital of the province, are being restored as a UN World Heritage  site.ස්ලාම් ආගමේ හැටියට මේ වැරදි වලට දඩුවම මරණයයි  <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Murder (මිනි මැරීම) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Adultery (Sex කිරිම බැදලා නැතුව) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rape (ලිංගික දූෂණ) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sexual misconduct (අනාචාරයේ හැසිරිම ) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Apostasy (ආගම හැර දැමීම) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blasphemy (දේව අපහාස කිරිම) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Homosexuality (සමලිංගිකත්වය) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Drug smuggling (මත් ද්‍ර‍ව්‍යය ජාවරාම) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sedition (රාජ් ද්‍රෝහි කම්) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Prostitution (ගණිකා වෘත්තිය) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Witchcraft (මන්ත්‍ර යන්ත්‍ර ගුරුකම්) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Idolatry (පිලිම/ප්‍රතිමා වන්දනාව)<- ප්‍රතිමාව කඩපු හේතුව මේකයි </li> </ul>-Core-</blockquote>
