On this quiz i got a 50, most of the ones that i got right i actually guessed on. I learned that Marco Polo was there and recovered for an inllness, Khyber Pass is a point between Afganistan and Pakistan, Khameerbob us pasta, 92% of Opium is produced there, and lastly i learned that the head-to-toe Garment worn by women is called a Chadri.

ReplyDelete-The chadri is the full body dress women wear in afganistan
-The minaret of jam is made of bricks

i got an 80 on the quiz and i found out that:
ReplyDelete1) Afghanistan houses snow leopards, meaning the climate can be cold enough there.
2) They are known for their large production of opium
3) The taliban fell in the late 90's, only to resurge in recent years.
4) The Pashtun code of honor means they must fight evil, house the needy, and help the poor
5) The women were required to wear the Chadri during the Taliban reign
