History
People have inhabited the area now
known as Tajikistan since around
4000 BC, when different tribes,
distinguished by language, settled
the region. The various kingdoms
were absorbed into the Persian
Achaemenid Empire around the 5th
or 6th century BC, which began a
long process of Tajikistan being
ruled by different empires and
cultures. Alexander the Great next
conquered the region and
incorporated it into the Hellenistic
Greco-Bactrian Kingdom. From the
late 4th century BC until the early
2nd century BC, the land formed
part of the Bactrian Empire. Arabs
bought Islam to the area around the
5th century, only to be supplanted
by the Saminid Empire. They
established Tujik cultural centers in
cities that are now in Uzbekistan
before the region become part of
the Emirate of Bukhara.
