What did Afghanistan give to the West

Farabi is generally known to be the "Second Teacher", after the first teacher, Aristotle.
Farabi's extensive knowledge, disection,  commentaries and evaluation of Aristotle earned him the
this title. He also invented new paradigms in philosophical thought (NeoPlatonism), moving away from Metaphysics to practice and his discovery of the limits of human knowledge based on his reflections on the First Cause (i.e. God) thus breaking away from Plato and Aristotle.

Avicenna (arabic: ibn Sina, the father of medicine), born at a later period,  similarly benefitted from Farabi's learning and fused his philosophy with a religious interpretation.

Their works were systematic in textual ordering facillatiting the study of their works more readily.

Although Avicenna "lost the battle" in acceptance of his Philosophy in th the Islamic world which was deemed extreme and contradictory to the fundamental  principles of Islam (see Ghazali, "
Incoherence of the philosophers") their framework was later taken on by the Christian West.
 
In the creation of the Moden Western civilization, these two were Pivotal.

A very good detailed analyis of Mergarh, Mohenjo-Daro [1], city of the Indus Valley. Which starts it's life at aproximately 7000 BCE.

Thus Predating the later Indus Valley Civilization by a number of millennium by Michael Jansen, PhD.
The discovery of Mergarh Harrapan was relatively knew, a quote from the research article :


"The Harappan civilization, the world’s fourth great civilization after those of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and
China flourished in the valley of the Indus three thousand years ago"  [end citation]



"..the  largest city in the Indus valley area, revealing the emergence of techniques in architecture - mainly terrace construction - and in the crafts and farming which were used later in the Harappan cities. But the 3rd millennium BC is also marked by increasing contact and trade between the Indus Valley, Baluchistan, the countries of the Persian Gulf, eastern Iran, and Central Asia: from 2500 BC Mesopotamian texts refer to the importance of trade with eastern regions such as Dilmun (the Persian Gulf) and Meluhha (almost certainly the Indus Valley)" [end citation]

Poetry 2

Pain

Anger inside hasnt faded

With time i thought it possible

Childhood still haunts me

my faith still inside of me

Cannot escape what has scarred me

Color of my skin still confuses me

cannot suppress this rage

Each bomb that drops increases it

Women, children, screams rings inside of me whilst i sleep

Cannot sleep

Hear the cries, then again

Now i see him

One legged man

No father, many children

Still they laugh, from the Joy of what i don't know

Their innocence blinds this reality

World

Te fleeting nature of this life has dawned upon me

With age i have understood the short time we have left

I tred trough this land with Joy i do not feel

Love is what i seek, the part of me what is not filled

Politics 

They say its for justice

For the greater good

They creat Mischief, yet speak of peace

Their speech eloquent while their hearts falter

They speak of peace, yet create war

Their hearts i do not believe

They are the liars, My Lord speaks the truth

Worship 

To worship is hard, Wood amongst steel

i easily crumble, flake, when scathed

Weak, Vulnerable

Temptation looms before me

To be like steel i try
