In the following centuries, it got absorbed into the Achaemenid Empire and was ruled by different empires with their own cultures. Zoroastrianism was practiced in this region which was adopted by then-Persian emperors as a state religion. It was highly prevalent during the Samanid era but gradually declined. Next came the Greek conqueror Alexander the Great who incorporated the region into his Greeco-Bactrian Empire. Islam was introduced into the region in around 5th Century BC.\u00a0<\/p><p>The Emirates and Khanates of both Bukhara and <a href=\"https:\/\/central-asia.guide\/uzbekistan\/destinations-uz\/kokand\/\">Kokand<\/a> ruled some portion of the total region.
