nuristanis and pashtuns share greater genes together than pashtuns with tajiks, this means that nuristanis are just another persian stock

[atopu38]

[audiobot202]

A lot of ancient Bactria i what we now call Afghanistan with parts of land to the North.

The Medes had carved out an Empire before the Persians, however, there is a very close ethnic link between Medes and Persians and it was not until Cyrus defeated Astyages the Mede, that the Achaemenid Persian Empire was created. Or what we call the first Persian Empire. Some even regard the Median Empire as the first Persian Empire.

[Gringoman911]

Thats why Oliver Stones crapfest was almost banned in Greece.

[aalexander928]

This is wonderful but I do believe the Greeks and the Persians knew the limits of the Caspian Sea and quite a bit of what lay beyond. They certainly knew that the world was round.

[gparhs]

Alexander the Great, one of Greece's most glorius men, in all history.

Greetings from Athens, Greece.

[don1schon]

yes he was

[adambarfi08]

it was persian median and north afghanistan parthia or part now thy call tajik

[KurdoHawler]

but wait, the persien empire was Not only persiens, it was Median, Persien, and Balochs, who maked the persien empire!

and in that time, i dont think there was in the name of afghanistan, i think it was some people leved in there.

Long live Kurdistan!

[fayaztarin]

come on alexander.. Fight us.. lol.. I am very proud to be an Afghan as we never bowed our heads to any empire.. Alexander was a military genius and a great leader, much respect!

[FygeApoDoReVromokole]

Afghans never bowed heads to any empire??

remember the ancient afghani temples destroyed by newcomer arabs?

remember how you were ARABIZED and ISLAMIZED under the SWORD of Arabs?

afghans, persians etc are nations who were devoured by arabs, raped and tortured.. your arabic historians tend to neglect that...

[walwop]

Afghanistan at the that time didn't really exist as we know it today, so when we say Afghanistan has never been conquered we refer to Afghanistan that was created by Ahmadsha Abdali or as we call him Ahmadsha baba

[don1schon]

man most of the countries didnt exist at that time as we know them today He just said afghanistan because what it is called now to understand but the land was the same till now no matters what it call at the time of Alexander its the same geographical location

[Gringoman911]

Don't forget Genghis Khan whom many even share blood with.

[Gringoman911]

I respect Afghans because some of them share Greek blood like the nuristani so they are lost cousins.

[mf231175]

get your facts right malaka!! if you share your blood with afgans, turks and mongols that is your problem, just don't call yourself greek!!

[KarthikSoun]

@Gringoman911 lol..nuristanis dont have the greek gene! they dont even seem to have european heritage, some ppl say they are an unique group and product of isolation. The greek gene is no Afghanistan and they did take buddhism to europe but now its all mixed up.
