Afghan Geniza
The Afghan Geniza is a collection of thousands of Jewish manuscript fragments found in caves in Afghanistan. Genizah is Hebrew for storeroom.

A letter in Judeo-Persian dealing with financial and family matters (Afghan Genizah collection at the National Library of Israel).
The manuscripts include writings in Hebrew, Aramaic, Judeo-Arabic and Judeo-Persian, which are written in Hebrew letters.[1] Some of them are 1,000 years old; they were found in caves that had been used as hideouts by Taliban.[2]
In 2013, the National Library of Israel announced that it had purchased 29 pages from this cache of documents.[3] and another 250 or so in 2016.
