The Afghanistan culture has been traced backed to times in the Achaemenid Empire in 500 BCE. Afghanistan translates to "Land of the Afghans" or "Place of Afghans" in the nation's official languages. Due to the war that has occurred in the country, many of the nation's priceless artifacts and memorabilia have been destroyed.

Male and females in Afghanistan have two very different roles in day to day life. Women care for the children, cook and clean. They have more of an at home 'job'. They sew clothes and rugs. Men go out and work, women aren't treated as an equal to her husband. divorce is rare. But, if the husband dies, the wife inherits nothing. No land, real estate or live stock.
