- The Pamir Mountains of northern Tajikistan are sometimes known as "the roof of the world." Isolated by the rugged terrain, the Pamiri people who live there have preserved some of the Zoroastrian traditions that preceded the advent of Islam.

These people are not descendants of Alexander but native Iranians.
They are descendants of Iranians and Scythians. Idk where this Alexander myth came from.
@@alexanderabdulov9434 they look more caucasian than average iranian/afghan but they still dont pass in europe unless they r roma gypsy
The Iranians themselves are descended from bronze age European tribes connected to the Andronovo horizon. Iranian is an Indo-European language that was brought to Iran from eastern European/Siberian nomadic tribes (similar to Scythians but older than that). These tribes mixed with the even more ancient peoples who had lived in Iran since the Neolithic.
@@Wowzersdude-k5c afghans and tajiks have more R1a1 haplogroup than iranians .. most iranians have near eastern and caucases origins
WE ARE NOT DESCENDANTS OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT... we have PERSIAN HERITAGE. The purest Persians in the Tajik region. Unmixed and isolated in the mountains. What sort of sham is this?
its just a myth. Im from hunza and and a lot of people believe that we, pamiris and wakhis are descendants of ancient greeks, its kinda dumb to be honest but im pretty sure some people from these regions have individual European ancestry
It's RFERL, what do you expect from them? They have to feed the populist in the west so that people will watch them.
Typical western nonsense.lol you can't get purer and more native than a people living in a 7000mt mountain chain.
Greetings from your Brothers and Kin in Iran✌❤

@@nizar151 The Kandahar inscriptions (Edicts of King Ashoka) erected from around BC 260 were written in both Greek and Aramaic. So some of you in the region may indeed have some Greek ancestry. That said, you guys do speak an Old Eastern Iranian language, which descends from old Indo-Aryan. So your ancestors likely did migrate from proto-Indo-European homelands somewhere near the Caucasus mountains.
You are not Persians, the Persians originated from South Iran and have more Middle Eastern ancestry. Your language is not descended from Persian. Your language and culture are distinct. You are descended from the Indo-Iranian tribes and have the highest Sintashta DNA in Central Asia. You are much purer than the Persians.
They are descended from the
Schytians, and they’re definitely more European looking than other modern Persians people
Beautiful people and culture.
Long live IRANIC persian people from iran.
Bless you. But Iranic not only persian.
@@Muizz1987 parsa parsi = all Iranian people
They are not Persian
@@saeeddookat2330 No
we are the real Aryans and not the people from today's iran
do not separate the Pamiris from the rest of the Tajiks, they are Tajiks who have preserved their culture and Eastern Iranian languages. I myself am from the Pamirs, but I am proud to call myself a Tajik. 🇹🇯🤍
No, we are Shia Ismailis, we don't call ourselves Persians
do SEPARATE Pamiris from the rest of the Tajiks because we're not tajik ffs. We're not tajik and we preserved our OWN culture not the "tajik" one. I'll never call myself tajik
You call yourself whatever you want but don’t enforce your own beliefs on others. Also you are not an elected representative of Pamiri people to speak on our behalf. Most of us, almost all of us don’t feel ourself Tajik and we can clearly see the differences between us and Tajiks. That does not mean that we hate or disrespect Tajiks. That means we are different people and we deserve to be recognized.
as far as i noticed tajiks have a bit of uzbek and other admixture in them not all but many
u are not Pamiri, go back to Dushanbe
Greetings to my beloved tajiks from your tajik brother of Afghanistan
Russian is just language for international discussions as many people in ex soviet countries speak this language
We speak Russian so other people can understand us since it is lingua franka in region
we are not tajiks, bro stop
They are not Greek descendants. They have high sintashta and andronovo like ancestry
Long live Pamiri peoples.
It seems very interesting that in Chitral Pakistan we have the same culture like, the big room design, the bride head band,, the hates n the embriodry very very similar to our Chitrali culture ❤❤❤
An italian ethnologist, Cacopardo, has studied that. There used to be the same pre-vedic indo-aryan culture in that mountainous area, the Badakhshan and Cachemire, with a religion similar to hinduism but european pagan celebrations.
They are Pamiris people Shia Muslims Ismaili live in Pamir .
Thank you for this interesting, informative and beautifully captured video. 🌺
They are not descendants of Alex Great!!! They are eastern iranic people same as tajiks! Pamiris saved more ancient eastern iranic words in their language while tajiks gave way to modern persian! And tajiks are sunni but pamiris shia! Only difference
Wait pamiri are east iranic but not tajik they are east iranic like pashtuns Kurds and baloch
@@hashmatamin3710 read about tajiks! They are EASTERN IRANIC OF CENTRAL ASIA! Same as pamiris, pamiris keps they old dialect of iranic language unlike tajiks who accepted modern form of new persian lang
@@Roropromt1 I know but they are a distinct group if they are eastern iranic it doesn’t mean they are tajik stop stole our identity
@@Roropromt1 and Tajiks dna is more turkic then iranic
@@hashmatamin3710 who’s identity?
AlExAnDEr The GrEAt loooool
His real title was what my Ancestors,who kicked his real descendants out of Middle east named Him:"Gojastk"(Dirty,Unclean)
What is up with this weird obssesion of Anglophones to call every random people in Central Asian mountains who do not look mongloid or Indian Decsendant of Greeks?!
Pamiris are pure Eastern Iranians,living in that land for thousands of years.True Authentic indiginous people.
Agreed! They say the same about any lighter skinned non Indian looking Pakistani too!
What about pashtun😂
They are indo european
Yes you’re correct. They are pure East Iranians. They have the highest Sintashta DNA in Central Asia.
@@wilhelm4760 not on average, I only see 10-20 for a average tajik, 45 is just a outlier sample
Funny when they say pamiris are descendants of Alex. Just shows how much they care about history of what they post on TH-cam
2:51 wow such a good dancer at such a young age!
whats the interviewers problem? why do they always imply islam is incompatible with foreign cultures? it spans more foreign cultures than christianity ever has
No privacy if entire family lives together in same room
زنده باد تاجیک های جهان . سلام از طرف ۲۰۰۰۰۰۰۰ بیست میلیون تاجیک های افغانستان . و ۱۲۰۰۰۰۰۰۰ یک صدو بیست میلیون تاجیک های جهان .
Long live the Tajiks of the world. Greetings on behalf of the 20,000,000 Tajiks in Afghanistan. And 120,000,000 one hundred and twenty million Tajiks in the world.
شمال پاکستان . ولایات پنج آب ( پنجاب ) سوات . گلگت . هونزه . واخان . چترال .کشمیر همه تاجیک هستن
North Pakistan. Five Water Provinces (Punjab) Swat. گلگت. هونزه. واخان. چترال .Kashmir are all Tajiks
بد نکو لوده ای مردم اولش خو پامیری استن دوم قوم پرستی نکو بیسواد مردار خور
😂😂😂
Music in the start please anyone ??
Lars-Luis Linek & Johannes Matthias Hoffmann - Tajik Falak
really similar to the kurds.
what does it means PAMIR? i really dont know.. but..it comes out from albanian language...PA-MIR that means "to see well" ...literally translating to "looking good" or "it looks beautiful". Long live Pamir people beautiful and healthy
Their name Pamir came from the region they reside in, Pamir Mountains
Ahh yes as a Pamiri I'm proud to be part of East Albanian empire 🤣
huh, i couldve sworn tajiks were sunni, or is it just pamiris whom are shi'i?
We pamiris are all Shia
dont mix pamiri people with other people living in Pamir region of China,Pakistan ,Tajikstan and Afghanistan there are some other tribes who have light coloured hair big blue or green eyes some of them have blond hair some have red hair and they look totally different from these people and they are claimed to be Alexander the great desendents i am currently working on this i have found sheer resembalnces but still its researchable so these people in the video have clearly no connection with Alexander
Not a single pamiri has any connection with Greeks we are iranic people as tajiks pashtuns ossetians
@@extremistterrorist i did not said that wakhi are Greek wakhi are iranic turkic group ,,there are some groups who live along side of wakhi .....Alexander arranged susa merriage cermony which was mass wedding in which he himslef merried Tajik princess and at that time this whole region was one ,,,,at that time a big number of his soldiers were merried to local women and they all settled here and never mix alexander army only as Greek there were men from all neighboring areas ... there were men from all neighboring areas ....mecedonia,Bulgharia ,Albania ,Algeria etc some families most probably moved there all those people have indo euriian or indo European group gene ,,,,I am not talking about Wakhi but Kelasha,Bursho,Shina ,minaro ( Bropka) groups i have been researching for a while ....Aleander himslef had only son which died young so his progeney did not continued but his army men stayed here had families here....in our Pakistan side we also have Krgyz here which are also Turkic group not Greek etc
@@fashionguide2446 wakhi are pamiri east iranic group not turkic in any case. I don't know about kalash
😂😂😂
Great NOROZE
Persians say they are descendants of Alexandria....Ha, ha, ha
@Mohammadhosin Ahmadi Tajiks are Persian actually.
@@jutea9858 Pamiris are not Persian
we are the real Aryans and not the people from today's iran
@@jutea9858 they are not Persian lol they are eastern iranic with their own language identity culture who are closer to vakan tajik people. I'm saying again they are not Iranian.
Tajik think that they are like European but actually they are Chinese type pimiri are European😍😍😍
