The more you know…

Afghanistan literally means “Land of Afghans.”  But this could mean more than the people living in the modern state of Afghanistan, which was founded by Ahmad Shah Durrani in 1747.  There are other sorts of Afghans:

1.    The Afghan Hound, one of the oldest hound breeds. They acquired their unique features in the cold mountains of Afghanistan, where it was originally used to hunt hares and gazelles by coursing them
2.    An Afghan can also be referred to as a "throw". Afghans were first made in Afghanistan and commonly featured geometric designs with many holes in the pattern. They are hand-stitched or knitted. 
3.     Afghan rugs are meant for covering large areas of floor. Many patterns and colors are used, but the traditional and most typical is that of the octagonal elephant's foot (Bukhara) print, often with a red background.
