In ancient times people colored their hair. For example, the Babylonians dyed their hair and beards black. In Persia and Egypt people would use henna to give their hair a slight amber tone. In Rome they colored their hair dark until Greek culture made it to Rome and they began bleaching their hair blonde, which was popular in Greece because it was associated with health and youthfulness (also high priced prostitutes). Majority of Greeks/Romans were brunettes.
The Kalash are not related to the Hellenic Greeks. Indo-European tribes migrated to Asia thousands of years before. Genetic studies have been definitive that they are not related to the Greeks of Alexander's era. It is interesting that Herodotus when describing physical attributes of various people's, it is the Persians whom he describes as being "white", the Greeks somewhat darker (presumably due to their sea-faring tan skin), and the Ethiopians as dark-skinned.
This has been a misconception. I have heard many people say that the light people in the middle east and beyond we're remnants of Alexander the Great. Many on this blog have it right in that genetic studies have confirmed that they are genetically unrelated to the Hellenic Greeks. Many Indo-European tribes migrated to Asia thousands of years before.
kalash is an ethnic group with important Ydna L and also H of origin dravidian with nothing together with Greeks or Albanian, but the buruch of the region of the indukush has rates not negligible of Ydna R1b which meets in Pakistan, to Azery and Tajik and others, therefore they are two people different one of other one but they have nothing together with Greeks, Albanian and either from a distance or nearly.
I have travelled in countless countries but never have I seen a country as beautiful but misrepresented as that like Pakistan. The valleys, the mountains the rivers the lush green fields, the wildlife, the culture and f course the diverse people make for a travellers paradise.
HOW BIG GRECO-ROMAN HISTORY IS....two small countries with a history so big ....that other big countries combined dont have,,,and again I quote"JEALOUSY is a MF"
Magna Græcia (Latin meaning "Great Greece", Greek: Μεγάλη Ἑλλάς, Megálē Hellás) is the name of the coastal areas of Southern Italy on the Tarentine Gulf that were extensively colonized by Greek settlers; particularly the Achaean colonies of Tarentum, Crotone, and Sybaris, but also, more loosely, the cities of Cumae and Neapolis to the north.[1] The colonists, who began arriving in the 8th century BC
@mihruzza do you have a site to look it up?about the genome?(Kalashi dont look asian.but obviously is amix.Only men travelled with the army.Alexander was before the Romans
These Aryan people have nothing to do with Greeks. As they are uneducated they are methodically being brainwashed to believe this. They are just Aryan people who have their origins in this region which is the original home of this mighty race. Kalash are not the only original Aryans many regions in this vicinity are purest of original Aryans. This all region is the original Aryan homeland.
@rabbanif over the centuries Greek peninsula has been invaded by Romans, Huns, Goths, Arabs, Crusaders, Turks (and i am not sure if i remember them all). so obviously we modern Greeks don't have the same DNA with ancient Greeks, so not the same DNA with Kalash too. The language and the culture is what remains.
The blond haired blue eyed aryan archtype used to be much more widespread especially throughout central asia till around the year 1000. It was only with gradual invasions by different dark haired groups like the mongols that blond started to dwindle down.
These People can be who ever they want; Im Anglo-Saxon Mutt. Greek, Aryan,... dash of: this, that, or the other winning Pedigree no matter what.
My opinion is: This is a Vedic Aryan Tribe with some Greek Blood; evidently, from Alexanders Men. Seems that other remnants of Vedic Aryans in area are Taliban? Still other remnants of Vedic Aryan Culture in the region? Please let it be so. Google: "India Info: Aryan Trail" Super new resource. Any Endangerment will Delete Comment.
Isn't this something, first time I have ever seen this. A Cultural Anthopologists Dream. Wish these People the best in preserving thier way of life. Hope others leave them alone.
Seriously? The pakistani army would kick your ass before you even step foot in pakistan. And the Kalasha are NOT GREEK. Thats a legend propagated by western orientalists. Even the majority of the Kalasha themselves don't believe it. But they sometimes say it so they can get financial aid from deluded idiots like you. I know this because I come from a pak background and I've visited pakistan many times.
@Athlon2010 The Kalash are living fine here for centuries before and after Pakistan or any other civillisation they will be there they are a beautiful people that should be preserved everyone knows that
@foonty did you read song of Solomon? dye or no dye they weren't Pantera fans. not meant to offend. every thing is important. just suppose. you may have the other piece of the puzzle.

Their language is akin to Greek only in that it is Indo-European. Kalash and some neighboring languages belong to the Dardic branch of the Indo-Iranian family that includes both Sanskrit(Indic) and Farsi(Iranian)

My mother is from kalash,pakistan and adad from Sindh paksitan ( though my paternal grandfather cam from Russia to preach Islam) and both are blonde and we don't care whether my mom is greek or not. But they are just beautiful. the beauty about pakistan is that it has mixed ancestry and origin! Because alot of my freinds have grandparenst coem from other countrues to preach Islam>from Turkey to Bosnia and muslims only marry muslims mostly. hence they were able to save the ethnicities and race
I would like to make a comment if you go to GREECE thier are blond hair greeks ,red hair ,black, brown dont be stupid.Both my grand fathers had the milkest white skin.One of my grand father who was greek ancestry that lived in turkey and his ancestors were exiled out of tukey by the turks.My mother has white complexion with redish brown hair and I have a picture of the children of the island that my grand parents lived on they have many blonds,lite brown, black hair and they are white skin.
"Pagans" my foot! They are pure proto-Rig Vedic Indo-Aryans. They are the ones who strongly resisted against Islamic expansion. They are NOT descendants of Alexander. I mean how many Greeks are as blonde as them? The Greek nationalists are forcing them to believe so and the Pakis are trying to Islamify them. They're culture is ancestral to Vedic Hinduism.
Easy buddy. Recent DNA results prove in fact that they are aboriginal to the area, meaning they were there a long time before the Greeks ever carved their way there. At the same time, they possess a good portion from their conquerors as well, specifically Alexander's army.
@alexandros1821 Most likely some of Alex's soldiers fucked around with the Kalash women OR they were integrated into the tribe. Doesn't disregard the fact that the Kalash are more Northern European and brunette white skinned with a MUCH higher frequency of coloured eyes than the primarily olive skinned + dark haired Greeks do. Therefore Kalash /=/ Greek. There religion is much closer to the old Avestan and Vedic religion. Genetics, as you said has mostly proven against the Greek myth.
@alexandros1821 The fact of the matter is, light featured tribes such as the Kalash, Pashtun and the Hindu Aryans of the plains of of South Asia (Brahmins,etc) have almost always been deemed as having a foreign origin. Not as in "descendants of the Indo Europeans" but some people will go as far as to say "oh, probably the by product of some randy British/alexander's soldier". That is pure horse shit and these racists specifically say this to piss us race realists of.
they know that 4050 years behind the group [Basque- Celtic] and before 5000 years with Saxon was born made only a group, and more than 5000 years before with Circassiens, tcherkesses, Chechens and a bit before with bashkirs and now 7000 years before they find kalash and buruchaski with a language resembling Basque and miraculeusement preserved.
@jiggashady Next time WATCH when you talk about other people's BLOOD. My grandfather caem from rai in Russia to preach Islam and settled in Sindh. My mother isf rom Kalash and we are pakistanis. Hindusim is aboriginal to South India and did not coem from anywhere in the world. Read mahabharta and ramayan. muslims came from everywhere to preach and invade. hence they have mixed bloodlines and most of them are in Pakistan.
@jiggashady How would you like it if I amde commenst about your blood and ancestry and said that your grandparents did not come form Chennai or UP or whereever. So please without knowledge do not make comments about REALpeople as it is a very sensitive topic and people are proud of their blood!
@jiggashady well Jig,Hindus are also not BLOND?I mean how many Hindus did you find BLONDS?they were cut off from rest of the world till 1970's,till the connection was made to Kalash via road and air.Yeah true that they resisted Islmaic expansions in 13-14 century AD but who the hell have told you that Pakis trying to Islamify them?Pakis never did so and will never do so?Minorities are free to live here,this is not INDIA where you burn Christians alive, destroy Sikh temples, thousands of Muslims
@jiggashady Alexander was Blond Achiles was blond... Dorians were Blond...I have many blonde firends in Athens and they are Greeks...About the other stuff u say u really have issues with Greeks solve them we are really good...
Recent studies have found they dont have greek genes! They dont have the haplogroup21! It was said that the invadeing islamic mongol army killed all the buddhist greeks who built Gandhara caves and the Hindus. The word Hindu Kush means the place where Hindus where killed. Even recently the Taliban bombed the Bamiyan statues. It was said that they emptied the population.
Yes I think there were many buddhist Greeks in the regions of north india and pakistan than we think, but the Genghis muslim hordes exterminated them.
@apocalaxis Kalash people live only in Chitral which is district of Pakistan's KP(NWFP) provence or state. Some Kalash live in GB(North Pakistan state) of Pakistan n some hav move 2 big Pakistani cities. So Kalash r only in Pakistan in Middleeast n SouthAsia.
@KarthikSoun Are you crazy?? where did hinduism come from.Have you not read your Mahabharat. Hindus are aborignies of south India. You think Hidnus came to preach from Middle east.. how stupid. Mymom is from kalash, pakistan so pelase refrainf ro saying anythinga dn I give a damn about what dna she has. Also how would u like it if Is aid that your grandfather did not come from chennai or Uttar pardesh. So please refrain from talking about other peole's bloodlines especially real people!
Yia sas,re paedia! Ellino-Kyprai kai Tourko-Kyprai! Hey! Michael Wood misses some history..at the 4:40 onwards in the video at this area(Swat area) the Greeks had to contend with the Pathans,who gave them hard time! Mr Wood never mentions it and Alexander himself had said that these people,Pathans(Greeks called them Parthians) had fought like no other race had fought him..consequently many of his soldiers deserted him here because of hardship and homesick!
cypriot1965, i totally agree with what you said, and please forgive me if somehow i insulted you with my comments, but my english are not perfect. i believe too that we can all live in harmony and i know this because my girlfriend is a T.Cypriot girl, and one of my best friend's name is Ismail. . . so yes, we can all live together despite the religion and language. i only want peace to our island
well, you still have wrong about many points in your comments. . . i dont know how to write it in Turkish but i will try to make it as clear as i can. . . you know the word "yenitsaros". its coming from the word yenna( γέννα) witch means birth, and the second part is a prefix, witch making the word to have the meaning of "birth collectors". they were taking the babies from infant, with or without the parents permit ion, to train them as warriors for the army.
i was surprised when a T.Cypriot friend, told me that they use the same word in Turkish to describe that part of the army. and when you said best education, you actually mean Otoman education, and it was best for the Turks end only.
You are right about the fact that before Otomans Cyprus was under Venetian Ruler, but before that, Cyprus was part of the (Greek-Type) Byzantine Empire, so Greek-Cypriots was living in harmony and not as slaves.
well, they didnt force the people to change their religion through violence, but they made it through other ways. for example, muslims was paying very light taxes, christians on the other hand, very heavy ones. . . in time, a lot of people change their religion, just to manage to stay alive.
well ofcourse he is wrong saying that muslims never started a war, it's stupid, well my point was against him was look at the turks, my feelings were not hurt, and I'm sure you know more about it then me they occupied your country they still do,
"Before you debate somthing you must search very good"
What I hate is when people who don't know anything comment, and what is even worse is when people who don't know anything say that I should learn stuff.
Now I was debating a muslim long ago who said that islam have never started a war ever, also that no muslim country have ever declared war upon another country only in self defence.
@berjah1 HA!!! thats awesome!! the 1 last place in the world where they still worship dionysis!!! i agree!!! id love to take part in a ceremony!!!! that would be the shit!!!! talk about a window into a long lost world!!! WOW!! thats amazing, those people have problably been worshipping theyre god like that for 2500 to 3000 years!!!! when you talk about ancient or lost religions you get visions in your head of animal sacrifice and blood worship!! and low behold ITS STILL GOIN ON SOMEWHERE!!
if you knew the statistics then please do tell me how much innocent Muslims, Hindus and Christians Indian army had killed in Occupied Kashmir...? do u have any list..? and why Indian Army killing them ? since 65 years Kashmirs are suffering..why ? do u have any answer?
Perished were the nations who rule Tyranny ...and Muslims never ruled with tyranny...
You are making good propaganda against Muslims...because there is only hate exist in your hearts..but world will eventually see your real fcae
I am Muslim, well you are only figured out the things which you never observed ..the thing is Muslims never spread Islam with sword ..if this happen even a single time then all the Hindus , Christians and Jews along with this Tribe turns into Muslim(who are living in Pakistan)...but for how much time ???
your logic is the most stupid one I have ever heard, and "Muslims never ruled with tyranny" or "Muslims never spread Islam with sword" That's the ONLY thing Islam has ever done is to spread it by killing and murdering people.
It seems you read only those books which are against Muslims ..? have you ever met a true Muslim in your life ? and if you ever try to read the translation of Holy Quran ..then please do tell me where is written that God allow us to rule through tyranny ? those who are practising are so called Muslims ? Do other nations are living peacefully ? Are Christans and Hindus ?
Second: look at the Ottoman empire how many wars did they not have, the moors in Spain, look at the Caliphate, the only thing you have ever done to spead your religion is by killing and invading other people.
And what about christians and hindus I'm not defending christians they were the same as you, and hindus fought mostly against themselves. but that has nothing to do with anything we are talking about islam now not christians or hindus.
I admit that i am not good in speech.You have inforamtion but not knowledge.I don't care if u are Muslim,Hindu,Christian or Jew..my point is to clear that ayat's true meaning which u used to show how unmerciful we happend to be..when u go in battle field you fight for some cause and Islam has only one cause to fight for Allah.We never fight to convert others into Muslims by sword or weapons.If u read Quran then u also came to know that in which circumstances we need that.
where is the self defence in Sudan where is the defence in that genocide??
Where is the defence by the Moors
Where is the defence (and this is the best example) of all the wars by the Ottoman Empire. (how many people were converted by the ottoman empire that's why Bosnia is muslim.
The most important thing is you should not think it fanatic way..Its a misunderstanding between Muslims and Christians ..i don't want to comment on anybody..because in whole world this time only Muslims are suffering and the most miserbale thing is we are famous as terrorists..we are the victims and people consider us cruel..why ? the people who are indulge in this conspiracy are those who called themselves peace makers.Super powers are watching this show with great joy..why ?
@aaishh I was thinking the other day people like to label muslim terrorists. Well think of this if some one invaded you country for no apparent reason started killing innocent people would you sit there and take it or would you fight back against it. People are to ignorant to see from the perspective of others. There thinking is to on dimensional and are basically brain washed. I don't view anyone as terrorists
You are true...but u know power corridors let the lay men only think about daily needs..they suffer alot only to get food and shelter..therefore they hardly get educated...and this is the very reason of their ignorance.I am sorry for those who have been used by money makers..This world needs Peace and it can only be done by good people who first think that we are all human beings first and then Christian, Muslim and others
u r talking about Ottomon empire then see how Muslims treated Christians and Jews in great way..I agree that many of them fell for the lust of land.But those who acted upon the true spirit of Islam never lust for anything..they even treated jews peacefully. I feel so shame when i read those english translations in which people are misguided about Muslims and Islam.
I have already told u that those who practised these things are so-called muslims..look i admit this thing that Society is a combination of good and bad people, and muslim sometimes happend to be cruel..but only with those who fight against them ... Islam forcefully condemned those who even misbehave with women ,children,old people and those who safe themseleves in worship places..also those who surrender.
Its a fact that decline has been the fate of Muslims when they neglect the teachings of Islam and Holy Quran.The things which are happening these days are the outcomes of lust, bribary, disputes,hate, agony and misunderstanding.You and Me never eridct it if we only criticise eachother because our religions only want peace and love on this planet.Being a Muslim its my obligation to respect your opinion but my dear the things we read are only second hand knowledge.Truth is not that.
@aaishh you seem like a good person.Christians and muslim are both guilty of evil,that much is clear.The people of this world are very much alike.We're capable of great kindness,and great evil.This never ending war needs to stop.Both sides fight in the name of god,it's crazy.World population is increasing.We can live together in peace and accomplish great things,or give into hatred.History speaks for itself,mankind is incapable of setting aside differences.I'm afraid for our future.
I have not read any books against muslims infact I'm reading 1000 and 1 nights right now. I look at history and your own quran. You wrote:
"then please do tell me where is written that God allow us to rule through tyranny"
(when you meet the deniers let your swords fall on there heads untill they are on there knees) That is one of many things in your holy book urging mass murder, if you want more quotes I can provide them.
Let me explain your question.Remmeber that rule when you read Quran keep in mind the context or occasion on which the ayat(verses) were revealed .These verses were revealed when Muslims was about to war against NON-MUSLIM AGAINST THERE CRIMNAL, DESTROYING ACTIVITIES
@FilipH86 It is not about common non-Muslim. It is mentioned in Quran fight against those who fights with you. Islam addrss to fight to kill those people who kill muslims or destroy communities.
our Khalifa OMER(RA) were give punishment to his son till death becase he breaks the law of islam. On complaints of one JEW(non-muslim) Muslim khalifa killed his SON.
THAT IS ISLAM THE JUSTICE WHICH YOU WILL FIND NO WHERE BUT IN ISLAM READ OUR HISTORY ISLAM TALKS ABOUT JUSTICE
@FilipH86 Muhammad(PBUH) give shelter to non-Muslim on concque of Al-Makkah. Becasue they surrender to fight against Muslims. So Islam teaches to fight against INJUSTICE. please ask me if you have any more question thanks 4 reading
I wish that this culture never disappear, but I think than muslims will convert them by sword, as always did like christians in modern and middel ages
LMAO,Kalash are the ultimate mongrels on their male lineage.They are an assortment of L3a (20.5%), H1* (22.5%), R1a (18.2%), G(18.2%), J2 (9.1%), R* (6.8%), R1* (2.3%), and L* (2.3%) Dravidian,Australoid,Indic,Caucasid,Indic again,West Eurasian and Dravidian again.They have a high frequency of coloured eyes/hair because their mtDNA is almost exclusively West Eurasian i.e U4 and U2e.
They are an isolated Europoid type and were probably left behind during the wave of Europoid types into these ares,and are distant from all European populations,leave alone Greek.They are isolated as they will always remain distant from ethnic Afghans i.e Pashtuns[the real Pakis and Afghans]-who carry a high frequency of R1a -Still these people have a darker skin tone [with Caucasoid features btw]
Even facing all those compulsions and torture, lakhs and lakhs of Hindus kissed death happily to protect their dignity and culture.
The great king Maharana of Mewar not accepting the supremacy of Akbar,roamed with his kids and starved with his kid to retain his heritage and culture.Those evil Forces cant lure Rana.
Still, remembered as one of the greatest person in all Hindus minds.
Finally,the great Marathas and Sikhs overcame those devilish forces and succeeded drowning them in the Ganges.
The sacrifice of Hindus is one of the greatest in the entire human history.Actually,six million Jews(may not correct) holocaust was very much talked.But,Hindus(ordinary people)around 80 million lost their life in the span of 500 years.Because,Islamic devils attacked even kids and women and elders as it is sanctioned by their devilish prophet to kill horribly if those are not Muslims to get their devil God favor.
All are recorded by their own Islamic scholars who given as witness accounts..
Pakistanis always tried to imitate their masters more than their masters themselves..My friend,talking genuinely about Indus culture now adopting the great Arabic religion, now behaving more Islamic then then the originators themselves.Where were gone their Preislamic culture and Pakistanis self respect in defending it.All are simply written thinking others are fools!
These people blaming Indian Hindus who had the guts and capability to defend and continue their culture more than 5000 years.
Also, Karachi people don't represent Pakistan because many of then are immigrants from India. They are known as Muhajir, usually they are from Bengal, Bihar, UP, Gujurat. Even dark people are people. You act like it is a curse to be dark skinned.
Accept your dark skin color, you are Greek so be proud of being Greek. No reason to try to put down others' culture and ethnicity to justify your inferiority complex.
Look the Pakistanis living in UK are mostly from a place called Meerpur. Almost 70% of total immigrants of pakistani origin are from there. Meerpur is a part of Kashmir and they are hated more in Pakistan than in England.
You don't know how much people here despise the people who go to England and get weird fucked-up haircuts and wear chains and speak like assholes and consider themselves superior to non-immigrat
Most Pakistanis are brown and there are many whites here aswell. Don't go to fucking Karachi, go to Islamabad or Lahore or something. And white colour is not something to be proud of. Send your white race to a land with average summer temperature of 40 degrees celsius and they will also turn brown over the centuries.
The indians act like whites and want to impress them to integerate. Like acting slaves. But Pakistanis have dignity and integerity and its cuz of racism and discrimination they dont get jobs as non-muslims and blacks do. Most Doctors in the UK are of Pakistani heritage. Hitmen are hunted so to punish their loved ones for their immoral degrading behaviour. Look at rape dexual dieaes single Mothers abuse etc all high within non-muslims. Islam law scares and deters ppl from doing this.
Pakistan was thriving while the english were barbarians and eating mud. Pakistan had an Indus Civlization & cux of west english colonials and slavery they messed things up. But fact stll remains that Pakistanis are more of a spirtied people then english. The Pakistanis made UK what it is so they av no right to claim benefits?.Pakistanis arent scared of death. They dont act like slaves like indians.Thats why Pakis got indepence cuz of their mentallity. It was Pakistan who persued it.
Pakistanis make over 70% of the Brtish economy.Obviously the English will put whites first, indians first, even blacks first before Pakistanis cuz they act like them, av same toungue, simmilar culture, simmilar religion etc. But Pakistanis are Muslms so thus wont get the chance so some resort to street-wise behaviour with no fault of their own. Honour killings are to deter ppl from doing them. Adultery corrupts and destroy society. Pakis are progressing more so then indian/english. Fact!.
What are you trying to prove??Does it make you feel better about yourself by putting other people down? Its VERY easy to Generalize about a certain section of society! There is an old saying "All 5 fingers are not the same"
Pakistanis are not a race, but a union of different tribes and ethnic groups. The only groups related to Afghans are the Pushtuns. And a few people can speak Farsi here....
And yes, we are not whiter than Greeks but Kalash are...
Most Pakistanis can understand and speak Farsi, and share a common cultural Aryan lineage. By ethnic classification Pakistanis are related to Iranians and Afghans.
98% Kalash are Muslim, you should visit the Hunza valley and see for yourself. You have not provided a shred of proof to refute this. The is a source from the government of the Hunza Valley.
Also, Greeks are very dark. It's not a myth but the fact. There is no way they are lighter than French. Why are you so fixated on skin color?
You fucking gay-tard, don't judge all Pakistanis by looking at low-born Meerpuris, because Meerpuris are as fucked up as the British themselves. How does it feel tl belong to a nation where 15 years old girls get fucked by their punk boyfriends and get pregnant. The biggest fraudsters in the world are British.
And talking about Pakistanis doing nothing in England....When did British, who invaded Pakistan with Hindhus did anything good to Pakistan.
The Baloch are an Iranian people, who were Zoroastrians in ancient times.
As opposed to the India (Ganges river centered civilization), the inhabitants of the Indus (Aab e Sindhu) region were followers of a proto-Vedic Hindu Aryan religion, and eventually converted to Buddhism during the Gupta Empire. The Buddhist converted to Islam following the arrival of Iranian preachers into the region, and as a result of the Muslims allying themselves with the Buddhists against the Hindus at the time.
Aryan are ancestors of modern day Pakistanis, which by the way are not one people but many different people. Aryan means noble one, and represents the southern migration of tribes into the Indus River valley civilization and the Iranian plateau.
The Pukhtoons of Pakistan and Afghanistan were referred to in ancient times as Parthians (an Aryan group). The Punjabis, Sindhi, and Kashmiri are descendants of the Indus river valley people who were known as Sindhi people from the river Sappta Sindhu.
The Aryan homeland is Iran, not Pakistan, and nowadays even Iranians are not wholly Aryan, being a mixture of semites, elamites and ancient Iranic tribes themselves. Get with the times.
BTW, I don't hate Greeks because I have friends who are Greek. You should learn to judge people by character, not ethnicity. And most Pakistanis are lighter skin than Greeks, for sure.
Also, Pakistanis, Afghanis, Iranians are Aryan people who speak languages derivative of the ancient Aryans. Harappa, Mohenjo-daro are the ruins of the Indus River Valley civilization, one of the first human civilizations. The number system we use today comes from this civilization, along with wheeled chariot.
Your arguments are full of strawman and ad-hominem attacks.
I don't think I ever mentioned that I was racist, however you need to be put in your place for spreading so much crap about Greeks with your Paki-centric views about the world.
Btw, people from Tehran do not look the same as people from Karachi. You should travel a bit outside of your fully-insulated cave and see for yourself.
There are many different ethnicities living in Iran such as Jews, Armenians and Kurds, alongside the native Persians.
Likewise, in Afghanistan, there are Hazaras, Tajiks, Pakhtuns. etc. Not all of them are Aryans!
Also, Pakistanis are not Aryan, you douchebag. ROFL I don't know where the hell you got that impression from, but your comments made my day that's for sure!
these Kalash are a cultural gold mine! keep the Talibs away from them! you know what stupid talibs would do!! nothing would be left. and keep those annoying condescending Christian missionaries away from them too! christians would erase everything! and bring a dull boring lifeless greyness to this bright shining living place.
The bigger problem is the surrounding Pakistani MUSLIM population.
We all know how backwards Paks are in general. . . forced marriages, Isamofascism, honour killings etc etc. Imagine how the Kalash survive among such loonies - it's most definitely a miracle!
At least the Xtian missionaries won't go about threatening to blow up the Kalash like the Muslims do.
98% of Kalash are Muslim. Yes, you are right that Kalash are a cultural goldmine, along with many other civilizations in the region such as Pukhtoon, Punjabi, Kashmiri, Sindhi, Baloch, etc. You should read about the history of the Pakistan (Indus river valley) region.
Oh, and learn how to cite references for all the other pseudo-scientific hogwash you post. We would love to know where in Pakistan they teach their children this kind of bs.
Pakistan and Kalash people do have a great heritage, only racists losers with no life would try to deny anyone else's heritage.
Pakistan is a federation of more than seven different nations, hence it represents the Indus river centered civilizations of South Asia.
Taj Mahal is but on example of the ingeniousness of the people and great architecture of Pakistan and Muslims of India. Search Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, Badshahi Masjid, Derawar Fort, Shalimar Gardens, etc.
He is the kind of person who thinks he is superior to others because he believes his skin color is a fraction of a shade lighter than someone elses. Face it Greek people are darker than most Afghan, Kalash, Iranian and Pakistani people. Not that it matters, but it reveals how skin color really doesn't matter in the end and those who are racists need to enter the 21st century.
You've obviously never been to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, or Hunza. If you think all Middle Eastern, Aryan people are the same, you are wrong completely.
Also, Greeks are very dark. It's nothing to be ashamed of. You should accept it.
Get a life, why do you keep responding on this video with your racist views? Greeks are a dark-skinned Mediterranean people.
No one refers to each other as mongoloid, caucasoid, or negroid. That is a racist imperialist view which has been debunked by modern science. Take some anthropology courses in your local university and get out of the dark ages,
hindu is a persian word, given to people who live beyond river indus and under hindu kush mountains. Thus hindu kush itself is a persian name given for geographical idtentification of the area. People on Modern pakistan have always been multicultural because of intermixing of Arabs, persians, afghanis and central asian invaders and people. where as modern india remained unmixed. Modern pakistan area always were in tribes form mainly muslim whereas modern india was in cast based i.e. dalit, shuda
Modern India is VERY much mixed. Indians are not a race, but a mix of people.
The Indians of Gujarat are 33% genetically related to Persians. . due to their closer proximity with Iran.
Foreign invaders like the Greeks and Arabs usually invaded Gujarat through the port of 'Broach', since Gujarat was easily accessible during spice trades.
This is why Greek kings ruled Gujarat for 200 years, during the Hellenistic era and influenced so much of the Gujarat.
Not every Indian is genetically related to their own.
Southern Indians like Tamils are more Veddoids and remnants of a type of Aborigine people that went on to settle so far as Australia. Whereas, East Indians have Mongoloid features due to being so close to China, and thus do not look Veddoid at all.
'Pakistan' is a new word for Old India, but that scrap of land is now filled with Islamo-fascist dickheads who seek to blow up the world.
My best wishes to Pakistan and Kalash. I love you all, my respects. Great video. It contains some inaccurate information about Kalash people, but interesting regardless.
Everyone is mixed somewhat if you get down to it. Greeks have Persian and Turkish blood. There is no use attempting to support any racial supremacy.
As for Pakistan, I never said the people of the region always referred to themselves as Pakistanis. They referred to themselves by their tribes and regional identity.
The word India is a European word, it has no connotation in South Asia, except what the Europeans gave it. India is referred to as Bharat in Hindi.
You are arguing on a few of incorrect basis that you assume to be true:
1: Never argued racial supremacy, infact fact if you read closley my comments on the kalash you would conclude that my position holds that they too have been mixed (though not nearly as others)
2: India is a Greek word (yes, european if you will) again I mentioned that ALREADY, reading comprehension is essential my dear friend. Sop arguing in the ad nauseam fashion.
listen dikhead! stop claiming everything as yours and take it the facts! fact is these people have been passing the knowledge down generation by generation how DA FUK CAN U FIGHT THAT! are u fukn retarded or what??? they claim to be macedonians not greeks get the fuk over it! you dumb fuk!
the Greeks called them indoi, reffering to the inhabitants (who SURELY didnt call themselves pakis, LOL) beyond the indus (which cuts down THE MIDDLE of modern "pakistan" !
The natives of course didnt call it India, no shit sherlock ? ! Furthermore the Kalash are not Pakis, they are aboriginals of the area and thus, indo-european who have kept aloof from foreign subjugation and intermixing a great deal
As for their supposed Greek blood ? It's there, but to a minimal degree as proven.

In ancient times people colored their hair. For example, the Babylonians dyed their hair and beards black. In Persia and Egypt people would use henna to give their hair a slight amber tone. In Rome they colored their hair dark until Greek culture made it to Rome and they began bleaching their hair blonde, which was popular in Greece because it was associated with health and youthfulness (also high priced prostitutes). Majority of Greeks/Romans were brunettes.

The Kalash are not related to the Hellenic Greeks. Indo-European tribes migrated to Asia thousands of years before. Genetic studies have been definitive that they are not related to the Greeks of Alexander's era. It is interesting that Herodotus when describing physical attributes of various people's, it is the Persians whom he describes as being "white", the Greeks somewhat darker (presumably due to their sea-faring tan skin), and the Ethiopians as dark-skinned.

This has been a misconception. I have heard many people say that the light people in the middle east and beyond we're remnants of Alexander the Great. Many on this blog have it right in that genetic studies have confirmed that they are genetically unrelated to the Hellenic Greeks. Many Indo-European tribes migrated to Asia thousands of years before.

@alexandros1821 Most likely some of Alex's soldiers fucked around with the Kalash women OR they were integrated into the tribe. Doesn't disregard the fact that the Kalash are more Northern European and brunette white skinned with a MUCH higher frequency of coloured eyes than the primarily olive skinned + dark haired Greeks do. Therefore Kalash /=/ Greek. There religion is much closer to the old Avestan and Vedic religion. Genetics, as you said has mostly proven against the Greek myth.

@alexandros1821 The fact of the matter is, light featured tribes such as the Kalash, Pashtun and the Hindu Aryans of the plains of of South Asia (Brahmins,etc) have almost always been deemed as having a foreign origin. Not as in "descendants of the Indo Europeans" but some people will go as far as to say "oh, probably the by product of some randy British/alexander's soldier".

The great Salah-ud-Ayubi replied 4 this question"I DONT KNOW ISLAM IS SPREAD BY SWORD OR NOT BUT I KNOW TO PROTECT ISLAM SWORD IS REQUIRED.
Infact Islam attacks those who attacks them or who was preparing to finnish them & SELF DEFENCE IS NO INJUSTICE ITS RIGHT OUR EVERY ONE.
SO, ISLAM NOT SPREAD BY SWORD ISLAM SPREAD BY SELF DEFENCE.

I have not read any books against muslims infact I'm reading 1000 and 1 nights right now. I look at history and your own quran. You wrote:
"then please do tell me where is written that God allow us to rule through tyranny"
(when you meet the deniers let your swords fall on there heads untill they are on there knees) That is one of many things in your holy book urging mass murder, if you want more quotes I can provide them.

@FilipH86 Its is good to see you read QURAN,
If you read it for guidance you will sure get it.
Let me explain your question.Remmeber that rule when you read Quran keep in mind the context or occasion on which the ayat(verses) were revealed .These verses were revealed when Muslims was about to war against NON-MUSLIM AGAINST THERE CRIMNAL, DESTROYING ACTIVITIES

@FilipH86 It is not about common non-Muslim. It is mentioned in Quran fight against those who fights with you. Islam addrss to fight to kill those people who kill muslims or destroy communities.
our Khalifa OMER(RA) were give punishment to his son till death becase he breaks the law of islam. On complaints of one JEW(non-muslim) Muslim khalifa killed his SON.
THAT IS ISLAM THE JUSTICE WHICH YOU WILL FIND NO WHERE BUT IN ISLAM READ OUR HISTORY ISLAM TALKS ABOUT JUSTICE

Even facing all those compulsions and torture, lakhs and lakhs of Hindus kissed death happily to protect their dignity and culture.
The great king Maharana of Mewar not accepting the supremacy of Akbar,roamed with his kids and starved with his kid to retain his heritage and culture.Those evil Forces cant lure Rana.
Still, remembered as one of the greatest person in all Hindus minds.
Finally,the great Marathas and Sikhs overcame those devilish forces and succeeded drowning them in the Ganges.

The sacrifice of Hindus is one of the greatest in the entire human history.Actually,six million Jews(may not correct) holocaust was very much talked.But,Hindus(ordinary people)around 80 million lost their life in the span of 500 years.Because,Islamic devils attacked even kids and women and elders as it is sanctioned by their devilish prophet to kill horribly if those are not Muslims to get their devil God favor.
All are recorded by their own Islamic scholars who given as witness accounts..

Also, Karachi people don't represent Pakistan because many of then are immigrants from India. They are known as Muhajir, usually they are from Bengal, Bihar, UP, Gujurat. Even dark people are people. You act like it is a curse to be dark skinned.

Most Pakistanis are brown and there are many whites here aswell. Don't go to fucking Karachi, go to Islamabad or Lahore or something. And white colour is not something to be proud of. Send your white race to a land with average summer temperature of 40 degrees celsius and they will also turn brown over the centuries.

The indians act like whites and want to impress them to integerate. Like acting slaves. But Pakistanis have dignity and integerity and its cuz of racism and discrimination they dont get jobs as non-muslims and blacks do. Most Doctors in the UK are of Pakistani heritage. Hitmen are hunted so to punish their loved ones for their immoral degrading behaviour. Look at rape dexual dieaes single Mothers abuse etc all high within non-muslims. Islam law scares and deters ppl from doing this.

Most Pakistanis can understand and speak Farsi, and share a common cultural Aryan lineage. By ethnic classification Pakistanis are related to Iranians and Afghans.
98% Kalash are Muslim, you should visit the Hunza valley and see for yourself. You have not provided a shred of proof to refute this. The is a source from the government of the Hunza Valley.

The Baloch are an Iranian people, who were Zoroastrians in ancient times.
As opposed to the India (Ganges river centered civilization), the inhabitants of the Indus (Aab e Sindhu) region were followers of a proto-Vedic Hindu Aryan religion, and eventually converted to Buddhism during the Gupta Empire. The Buddhist converted to Islam following the arrival of Iranian preachers into the region, and as a result of the Muslims allying themselves with the Buddhists against the Hindus at the time.
Ammari7 2 years ago
Aryan are ancestors of modern day Pakistanis, which by the way are not one people but many different people. Aryan means noble one, and represents the southern migration of tribes into the Indus River valley civilization and the Iranian plateau.
The Pukhtoons of Pakistan and Afghanistan were referred to in ancient times as Parthians (an Aryan group). The Punjabis, Sindhi, and Kashmiri are descendants of the Indus river valley people who were known as Sindhi people from the river Sappta Sindhu.

The Aryan homeland is Iran, not Pakistan, and nowadays even Iranians are not wholly Aryan, being a mixture of semites, elamites and ancient Iranic tribes themselves. Get with the times.

BTW, I don't hate Greeks because I have friends who are Greek. You should learn to judge people by character, not ethnicity. And most Pakistanis are lighter skin than Greeks, for sure.
Also, Pakistanis, Afghanis, Iranians are Aryan people who speak languages derivative of the ancient Aryans. Harappa, Mohenjo-daro are the ruins of the Indus River Valley civilization, one of the first human civilizations. The number system we use today comes from this civilization, along with wheeled chariot.

The bigger problem is the surrounding Pakistani MUSLIM population.

98% of Kalash are Muslim. Yes, you are right that Kalash are a cultural goldmine, along with many other civilizations in the region such as Pukhtoon, Punjabi, Kashmiri, Sindhi, Baloch, etc. You should read about the history of the Pakistan (Indus river valley) region.

Pakistan and Kalash people do have a great heritage, only racists losers with no life would try to deny anyone else's heritage.
Pakistan is a federation of more than seven different nations, hence it represents the Indus river centered civilizations of South Asia.

hindu is a persian word, given to people who live beyond river indus and under hindu kush mountains. Thus hindu kush itself is a persian name given for geographical idtentification of the area. People on Modern pakistan have always been multicultural because of intermixing of Arabs, persians, afghanis and central asian invaders and people. where as modern india remained unmixed. Modern pakistan area always were in tribes form mainly muslim whereas modern india was in cast based i.e. dalit, shuda

Modern India is VERY much mixed. Indians are not a race, but a mix of people.
The Indians of Gujarat are 33% genetically related to Persians. . due to their closer proximity with Iran.
Foreign invaders like the Greeks and Arabs usually invaded Gujarat through the port of 'Broach', since Gujarat was easily accessible during spice trades.
This is why Greek kings ruled Gujarat for 200 years, during the Hellenistic era and influenced so much of the Gujarat.
xklassicx 2 years ago
Not every Indian is genetically related to their own.
Southern Indians like Tamils are more Veddoids and remnants of a type of Aborigine people that went on to settle so far as Australia. Whereas, East Indians have Mongoloid features due to being so close to China, and thus do not look Veddoid at all.
'Pakistan' is a new word for Old India, but that scrap of land is now filled with Islamo-fascist dickheads who seek to blow up the world.

Everyone is mixed somewhat if you get down to it. Greeks have Persian and Turkish blood. There is no use attempting to support any racial supremacy.
As for Pakistan, I never said the people of the region always referred to themselves as Pakistanis. They referred to themselves by their tribes and regional identity.
The word India is a European word, it has no connotation in South Asia, except what the Europeans gave it. India is referred to as Bharat in Hindi.
Please learn some history.

You are arguing on a few of incorrect basis that you assume to be true:
1: Never argued racial supremacy, infact fact if you read closley my comments on the kalash you would conclude that my position holds that they too have been mixed (though not nearly as others)
2: India is a Greek word (yes, european if you will) again I mentioned that ALREADY, reading comprehension is essential my dear friend. Sop arguing in the ad nauseam fashion.

Greeks and Macedonians may have referred to the area as India, but it wasn't known to the people living there as India.
Just as Egypt is only known as Egypt to Europeans, India is only known as India to foreigners. There is no India, just as there is no Egypt.
The people of the region call themselves Pakistanis, Pukhtoons, etc. This si definately not spamming. I suggest you look it up in the dictionary.

the Greeks called them indoi, reffering to the inhabitants (who SURELY didnt call themselves pakis, LOL) beyond the indus (which cuts down THE MIDDLE of modern "pakistan" !
The natives of course didnt call it India, no shit sherlock ? ! Furthermore the Kalash are not Pakis, they are aboriginals of the area and thus, indo-european who have kept aloof from foreign subjugation and intermixing a great deal
As for their supposed Greek blood ? It's there, but to a minimal degree as proven.
