Invasion
of
Alexander
brought with it many of Greece’s artists and
great thinkers and left a great influence
amongst the people of Afghanistan and caused a
irreversible damage to the ancient culture and
traditions of Afghan people. Many Greek
soldiers married afghan women and brought
children, thus the Greek blood runs deep
amongst people of Afghanistan. This fusion
between Afghans and Greeks established a new
unique culture in Afghanistan and more and
more distanced itself from Greece.
India
had build a massive front towards the eastern
border of Afghanistan and captured southern
part of Afghanistan only stopped by the mighty
Hindu Kush. With the invasion of Morias of
India came a new religion, which was widely
accepted by the Afghans, and thus the
introduction of Buddhism occurred and causes
another fusion of Greek Bakhter and
Buddhists.
Buddhism flourishes in Afghanistan and great
statues of
Buddha
are carved on the mountainsides of Bamian
province of Afghanistan. People from all over
the world would visit Bamian to pay respect
and worship their God with festivities lasting
days and nights bringing Afghanistan much
wealth.
