Tajik Pamiri children | wiki

So, how did the East & West mixed?
1 For one, could mixing have happened during the Israelite exile around 6th century BC? Some tribes are said to trace their ancestry to the Israelite, e.g: the Bukharan Isro’il (Israel), Pashtun. The story of Esther, who married the King of Persia is celebrated during Purim. And Cyrus II of Persia, who rebuilt the Second Temple of Jerusalem. אנכי העירתהו בצדק וכל דרכיו אישר הוא יבנה עירי וגלותי ישלח [Isaiah 45:13]
2 Then in the 4th century BC - from the west - Alexander the Great spread the Macedonian empire across Central Asia, meeting the Mauriya at the edges of India. He promoted mix marriage - marrying Stateira II in ancient Persia & Roxana in ancient Afghanistan. This period saw the rise of Greek culture across the region, called the Hellenistic Era.
In this era, even the New Testament is written in Greek, not Hebrew إلا بلسان قومه [Q14:4]
So, does this mean the New Testament is spread in Greek across a multi cultural world?
