Persia

Answer 2

Answer: Afghanistan is not mentioned as such but in Bible times, specifically the Old Testament, the area would have been under the rule of the Persian Empire and was the homeland of the Medes, then known as Bactria.

Later the general area became part of the empoire of Alexander the Great, followed by the Ptolemaic and Seleucid Emoires but retained its identity as Bactria.

Afghanistan is a 'modern' grouping of tribes into a country. The Uzbeks, Turkmen and Pashtuns are descendant of various offspring of Japhet and perhaps Ham - sons of Noah. See the Table of Nations in Genesis 10.
