Are people from Afghanistan considered to be Mediterranean?
Afghanistan does not border the Mediterranean (it is landlocked), the culture is certainly not Mediterranean, and on the crossroads in Central Asia between Asia and Europe Afghanistan has a racial mix that by any stretch of the imagination or definition can not be called Mediterranean. The Greek influences in early Afghanistan history and art cannot be called Mediterranean any more than the Greeks themselves at the time could be called Mediterranean; those Greeks were Ionic. Update: At the time of Alexander the very idea and dimensions of the Mediterranean were unknown, that needed the later Roman Empire to understand and define, whereas Ionic or Greek civilization is based around the Aegean Sea. I suggest you continue reading in Afghanistan.
