It's a tough situation. In order to preserve their culture, tourism is the best avenue to take, however, tourism changes the host culture. You can see this everywhere in developing countries, as tourism changes the life and culture of the host people. I think this is a small price to pay for financial independence in a changing world. Good luck to the Kalash people and hope that you can hold onto some of the simpler and beautiful parts of your culture that makes you unique.
@@ajb5852 "The authors concluded that a western Eurasian origin for the Kalash is likely, in view of their maternal lineages. A study by Qasim Ayub, Massimo Mezzavilla, and Chris Tyler-Smith (2015) found no evidence of their claimed descent from soldiers of Alexander. A study by Firasat et al. (2006) concluded that the Kalash lack typical Greek Haplogroups such as Haplogroup 21 (E-M35)." They also don't look like Greeks. They're just an Aryan group that got isolated.
They have to survive for the history of the subcontinent and the indigenous Aryan Race. The members of the great Aryan Race who follow an Aryan religion close to Hinduism-Zoroastrianism. These simple people are the original indigenous Aryans whom some people are trying to make them believe (as an agenda) by brainwashing that they are Albanians, Greeks, etc.they are neither of these. Alexander the Macedonian never set foot in this area, besides these people are lighter and taller than the average Greek. Alexander his troops spent time in Pakistani Punjab where many people are dark and short like the Greeks. Though they by large are neither Greek nor Macedonian. Their language is Dardic related to Shina and Kashmiri. These great people must survive and not get Semitized religiously either.

No idiot 😂 yamanas is not described as blonde and white 😂they are described as foreigner dark skinned and round nose and ugly faces ( means Dirtiness) . Yavan is mentioned as maleccha who kill cows and promote falsehood in vedas & Mahabharat like Vedic literature. There have a same kalash in vedic literature and that is also "kalash" it Means a pot which is used in superior position of temple. And also kailash mountain which is mountain of Shiva god of animals,god of Deva, God of Asura . yavans were civilised by Aryans and then they become arya follower of nature.
There's plenty of National Minorities/indigenous peoples like this. Almost every country has them except Western ones (recent immigrants obviously don't count).
This documentary is quite old but since then many genetics studies have been conducted and there is no evidence of a Greek origin for the Kalash . It’s just this obsession for giving European ancestry to any population who turns up to have a light skin
They are the last of their kind, similar people were nuristanis in afghanistan, they were forcibly converted very recently in 1890s. It just takes a few radicals to wipe out a community. Kashmiri pandits were in so big numbers and they have been wiped out completely , I fear same may happen to them. They should be protected as they give us a glimpse of the ancient religion of the indian subcontinent and also show us wonderful glimpse of our history. Mosques has been established there and maulvis have arrived there, maybe this is their last decade, you can clearly see, they are wearing traditional pathan dress(males) which is clearly imposed by pakistan and not their traditional dress, their language is almost extinct
As a person who is new to the existence of the Kalash people, I see that tourism is a double edged sword. Yes, it can greatly help them financially, however, there is the the potential cost of diluting the culture. As far as tourism being potential is another matter in itself. The safety of tourists is for sure on their minds. With the issues with India, the Taliban etc many Europeans and Westerners will not be willing to travel to these locations. As a person who has served in the US Military, I have seen many of these areas and I feel many of them are beautiful and most of the people are caring, want a normal life and have been very open to westerners. However, there is always the ones that will do what ever they can to bring in problems to the community which puts everyone at risk.
Well it’s been proven that these guys are not genetically Greek but what if they are related to the Tarim mummies? Those guys it turns out were remnants of the prehistoric population known as Ancient North Eurasian. A lot of people today are ANE descent. The Kalash could be mostly unmixed ANE who survived.
Theyre related to albanians my guy the army of macedonian empire that stayed there were illyrians u can even translate their tribe names in albanian and they have many common words in their language as well
@@QUINTUSMAXIMUS They didn’t conquer Greece there was no Greece before them. They were literally a fugitives who went north running from foreign occupation from Asia on their original lands which was Syria (ancient Syria like the Greek historian Herodotus described it) to the north and established Greece. Then they named the cities they established a names in their original language. And when they have established a force they returned to liberate and protect their homeland then the romans continued this and they even crowned emperors and empress from their homeland like Philip the Arab and his sons, Septimius Severus Arabicus and his sons, his wife Julia domna and her sister Julia maesa..etc. (Funny is that there was no emperor or empress from the northern “European” who claim now they are from the same origin and related to the Ancient Greek and romans) Ancient Greeks and Romans have real relationship with Arabs not like the rest of the world who are trying to cling to them. They had conflicts but were internal conflicts not occupation. Fun fact ancient greeks and romans never linked themselves with the northern barbarian( they named them this name) who are named Northern European today the Germanic, Celtic, franks and Slavic. They viewed them as foreigners and were at wars with them constantly. Go learn real history.
This is Culturecide. The Kalash is the only tribe left that is considered "pagan" (not in religious or new age terms) along with the Yezidi Kurds who are persecuted by isis terrorists, the turkish government and others and I think by now they have been driven away from the lands they used to live for centuries. Everything and everyone is going to be assimilated and history is being deleted. PS. beware of nazis in the comments and nationalist disinfo in general, this is a serious matter

Kalash share genetic drift with the Paleolithic Siberian hunter-gatherers and might represent an extremely drifted ancient northern Eurasian population that also contributed to European and Near Eastern ancestry. Their traditional costumes and symbolism are similar to those from Russia and Ukraine.

They are not descendents of Alexander. They are ancient Aryan Tribes which was migrated long back from central Asia. Same Tribes are present in India's ladakh.
some of them looks like greeks,2300 years ago history ,nobody canot say not true.great alexzander and his troops was their ..it is sad they dont have education and good accomandation.but they are happy in their heart.rich heart people.
They are the original indigenous members of the Aryan Race. Their ethnicity, culture, language etc., is Aryan (Indo-European). They speak a Dardic tongue. It is hoped that though Islam is a fine Semitic religion these great people will not be Semitized religiously. God has made the planet colorful and diverse and it shall stay that way. They are being made to believe (via brainwashing) that they are Greeks or Macedonians they are neither just indigenous Aryans. Besides Alexander was not known to have entered this region after his battle with Porus he withdrew from the Indian subcontinent. Alexander was only in what is now the Pakistani Punjab.Whether Alexander or the great Kshatriya (Rajput) Porus won is surely not clear but both survived and Alexander withdrew.
The outcome of the battle of Hydaspes was crystal clear. Alexander won though with severe casualties and his already tired troops once realizing the magnitude of a campaign in India revolted and demanded to go home. King Porus remained as a ruler of a client kingdom. I really dont understand why the Indian state gets so butthurt about this incident to the point of denying the outcome without providing ANY solid sources. The Kalash people are probably indigenous people caught up in a romantic background pressed upon them. Many of them seem to embrace it and it seems that they did had some oral traditions related to the passing by, Greek troops. Now the extend of a real tradition and a manufactured one due to their need for attention and financial help, I cant know. After all they are surrounded by foundamentalistic shitholes, for them to assume a ''glorious identity'' that resonates with the west might be a way to survive. Personaly I believe that they are indigenous people, it wouldnt be that far fetched for some of them to have a small percentage of Greek dna, but the researches until now do not support it. On a last note. Its mentioned (not by you) that Greeks try to highjack the Kalash people. Well... no. Actually there is absolutely no need to claim an obscure little group in the middle of nowhere. On the contrary it creates troubles and obligations that the Greek state is not willing to take on. The whole thing has a romantic charm and some private citizens might feel moved but thats the end of it. By chance it happened that a family friend married a Kalash woman, I dont know how they met he was a captain in the merchant navy. They moved to Greece and she continued to practice her religion which had some common elements with the ancient Greek one. Now was it a cultural remnant of the hellenistic era of Asia? Was it just a version of the proto-indoeuropean common cults? Im not in the place to say.
It is a beautiful, ancient culture. It should be respected. While the Greek volunteers are beneficial, they should make sure not to impose, and those using Islam shouldn't act colonials towards Kalash people. It's not nice. It would be good if they get more outside support since they face prejudice locally in terms of getting jobs, support. It's shameful behavior.
@Turtle Kingdom BITCH Yeah they are Slavic origin...Illyrian was not nationality just province named Illirya by the Romans...Only count how they called themself...Like Rasena(Etrururia)
Yes. These people must be free to practice their beliefs and keep their culture. Why should anyone attempt to change them? Is this not a free world? Moreover they are a beautiful people not fanatics!
Here you go. The fanatics are here with you. It sounds like are having an indigestion due to the expression the journalist used. He said "refused to convert" to highlight the difference between a majority of Pakistanis who converted to Islam with the Kalash people. The fact they are non Muslims today tells you they have been left alone and not forced into any religion.
@@BlackSeedOil20They are also discriminated against when it comes to things like employment, as mentioned in the vid. That also demonstrates the the main problem of a non-secular nation.
What makes anyone think they are not happy as they are? They look like very happy and peaceful people. Why do people feel their way of life would be better for the Kalash? If that was the case they would have assimilated in the mainstream cultures centuries ago.
There is some exposure to Greeks but the Kalash culture is pre-Islamic Indian. Their customs are Aryan and perhaps, Vedic. Hopefully, they will preserve them. They should be pretected from being Islamized.
Neither genetics nor linguistics show Kalash tribe are Greeks. They are original Indo Aryan tribe that got isolated in mountains 5000 years ago, so they retained the original Caucasian feature without mixing with lndian hunter gatherers races There were many tribes like this in northern pakistan until region was isalamized in 1885. The region was called kaffirstan for a reason Other Nuristanis look like them.
OMG I have goosebumps... The forgotten ancestors of the mighty Alexander the Great and ancient Hellenes. The world needs to be made aware of the perilous danger these precious ancient people are in. Muslim nations need to move with the times, it's 2021 and be more tolerant and inclusive of otherness.
@Turtle Kingdom BITCH do your homework mate, Macedonians are Greek; it's the norther region of mainland Greece!! Therefore, there is no Macedonia vs Greece...WTF
@@Laila-hl8dc There are so many things wrong with your comment. 1. You're called Laila. Why did you put a heart? 2. Kalash people aren't descended from Greeks, although they are related to them genetically and linguistically as they are both part of the Indo-European language family. The Kalasha people are remnants of the ancient vedic aryan invaders who got isolated in the paropamisus and received relatively low amounts of IVC admixture compared to their counterparts down below. The vedic aryan people were a mix of steppe and BMAC genes. The greeks were steppe genes who mixed with southern european neolithic genes. So it was a two-way parting. 3. I you think greeks colonised some islamic arab land in pakistan and put their offspring there, might I assume you came from the american education system? Firstly, paropamisus during Alexander the Great was BUDDHIST, Zoroastrian, and shamanistic. Alexander the Great and his descendants however never touched the area and almost a millenia later the arabs arrived at the area, bringing their wretched religion with them. The mongols when they plundered central asia told of the Kalash and never massacred them and described them as being gentle and peaceful people. However, the muslims in the area were trying to and had been trying to convert them to islam, calling them infidels and whatever. This discrimination has been happening for over 12 centuries, and I doubt it will get any better next year, so it was the muslims who "forcefully colonised"
Zulkarnaen or Arabic "Dzul-Qarnain" ذو القرنين means The One own/conquerer of East and West.

They should migrate to India. They were part of India for thousands of years, so they'll be going back to their roots. Their religion is somewhat similar to Hinduism too. They'll fit in, and it'll add to India's diversity. Besides, there are other Dard groups in India today, so they'll fit right in. Moreover, Muslim fanaticism is much less in India, so the Kalash will be safer there. Their Brokpa cousins will give them comfort too.
@James Wayne By the way, the Dravidians came from Iran and Turkmenistan, so they're not totally indigenous to India either. Besides, the Indus Valley was already in decline when the Aryans came. Kalash people will like India, for they have a similar culture and other tribes akin to theirs exist over there. Kalash and Indians are NOT European.

I India also having Greek descendents. But we hindu never tried to convert them. But it is harss reality that Muslims are doing their own business of conversation.
Teacher from the Kalash tells the truth. The population in the fortress believes that it is of Albanian origin, the Kalash population does not believe that their origin is Greek. They are of Albanian origin, fighters of the army of Alexander the Great. The religious beliefs of the population in Kalash are pagan beliefs that have nothing to do with the Christian or Muslim religion. In the culture of the Kalash people there are pellasgian names and proofs based on the Albanian language. The castle is being invested by the Greek state with Byzantine-style buildings to help this very poor but noble population
Irrelevant. albanian origin is not even a notion for those people. These people are there for millenia and their culture is related to local and ancient greek elements. Nothing albanian existed during the hellenistic period. albanian first ethnological references are of 11th century. Study better and more to avoid misconceptions
T h e y say that they are related to Alexander the Great s soldiers.Who married local women! How on earth could know even the name so isolated they are!Only the last decades Kalash travel and educate themselves!let alone the similarities to Greek-Macedonian culture!!!
That's actually a wrong theory that they are decent of Soldier DNA gene testing showed no such result they are actually a ancient Hindu religion there god's like indra etc worship nature there is actually a similar tribe in Afghanistan with same traditions with little difference after islamic invasion they are some remainance of old hindu
0:22 The Macedonian General… I feel that there is an unnecessary separation there! He was Greek and started from Greece or better he was Macedonian and Started from MAKEDONIA( which was and still is the part from north Greece) You can’t say he was Maceedonian and started from Greece like they are two different things! DON‘ T TRY TO DELIVER HIDDEN MESSAGES! HISTORY WILL NOT BE WRITTEN AGAIN
1 Maccabees 1:7 So Alexander reigned twelves years, and then died. 1 Maccabees 1:8 And his servants bare rule every one in his place. 1 Maccabees 1:9 And after his death they all put crowns upon themselves; so did their sons after them many years: and evils were multiplied in the earth.
Kalash people are Ancient descendants of Illyrian people present Albania/ Kosovo today. Proud of them they never lost their roots, language and music, same as Albania today. They fled Albania from Alexander the Great over 2300 years ago.
We also have Christian preachers, typically from America, trying to go into the jungles of Brazil to 'convert' the native tribes; not with much success I dont think, but Im sure if they could implement more oppressive means (such as in the past) they would.
Lol, not quite brother. I live in Brazil, in the Amazon region, and there are many missionaries who work in villages in different ways. Many natives convert, others not so much. There is also the governmental issue, since the left-wing government prevents not only missionaries from entering, but also other groups that have nothing to do with religion.
There can be no doubt that by looking at "some" of these Kalash people, mestization has definitely occurred with Europeans. To what extent? I have no idea but it occurred at some point in their history whether with Greeks or other Europeans. The skin tone on "some" of them is not typical of your average Pakistani. In conclusion, colored eyes, lighter skin tone, physical features on "some" of the Kalash people tell a different story than that of ordinary citizens of Pakistan. If I were to go on a hunch, I would guess 25% European and 75% South Asian admixture.
That was thought to be the case before but in 2019 a study found they are a genetic isolate separated very early from neighboring populations. Among other surprises, it was found that they are about as close to the Ancient North Eurasians as modern Native Americans are.

It's a tough situation. In order to preserve their culture, tourism is the best avenue to take, however, tourism changes the host culture. You can see this everywhere in developing countries, as tourism changes the life and culture of the host people. I think this is a small price to pay for financial independence in a changing world. Good luck to the Kalash people and hope that you can hold onto some of the simpler and beautiful parts of your culture that makes you unique.
They're not related to Greeks. They're just an Indo-European tribe.
Alex Leaud great, show me the research
@@ajb5852 "The authors concluded that a western Eurasian origin for the Kalash is likely, in view of their maternal lineages. A study by Qasim Ayub, Massimo Mezzavilla, and Chris Tyler-Smith (2015) found no evidence of their claimed descent from soldiers of Alexander. A study by Firasat et al. (2006) concluded that the Kalash lack typical Greek Haplogroups such as Haplogroup 21 (E-M35)."

They have to survive for the history of the subcontinent and the indigenous Aryan Race. The members of the great Aryan Race who follow an Aryan religion close to Hinduism-Zoroastrianism. These simple people are the original indigenous Aryans whom some people are trying to make them believe (as an agenda) by brainwashing that they are Albanians, Greeks, etc.they are neither of these. Alexander the Macedonian never set foot in this area, besides these people are lighter and taller than the average Greek. Alexander his troops spent time in Pakistani Punjab where many people are dark and short like the Greeks. Though they by large are neither Greek nor Macedonian. Their language is Dardic related to Shina and Kashmiri. These great people must survive and not get Semitized religiously either.

No idiot 😂 yamanas is not described as blonde and white 😂they are described as foreigner dark skinned and round nose and ugly faces ( means Dirtiness) . Yavan is mentioned as maleccha who kill cows and promote falsehood in vedas & Mahabharat like Vedic literature. There have a same kalash in vedic literature and that is also "kalash" it Means a pot which is used in superior position of temple.

I can say that they're the direct descendants of Alexander The Great's armies, history has it in the books. They have beautiful eyes tho.
This documentary is quite old but since then many genetics studies have been conducted and there is no evidence of a Greek origin for the Kalash . It’s just this obsession for giving European ancestry to any population who turns up to have a light skin
They are the last of their kind, similar people were nuristanis in afghanistan, they were forcibly converted very recently in 1890s.
It just takes a few radicals to wipe out a community. Kashmiri pandits were in so big numbers and they have been wiped out completely , I fear same may happen to them. They should be protected as they give us a glimpse of the ancient religion of the indian subcontinent and also show us wonderful glimpse of our history. Mosques has been established there and maulvis have arrived there, maybe this is their last decade, you can clearly see, they are wearing traditional pathan dress(males) which is clearly imposed by pakistan and not their traditional dress, their language is almost extinct
As a person who is new to the existence of the Kalash people, I see that tourism is a double edged sword. Yes, it can greatly help them financially, however, there is the the potential cost of diluting the culture. As far as tourism being potential is another matter in itself. The safety of tourists is for sure on their minds. With the issues with India, the Taliban etc many Europeans and Westerners will not be willing to travel to these locations. As a person who has served in the US Military, I have seen many of these areas and I feel many of them are beautiful and most of the people are caring, want a normal life and have been very open to westerners. However, there is always the ones that will do what ever they can to bring in problems to the community which puts everyone at risk.
some kalash men have married tourists. german and japanese
Well it’s been proven that these guys are not genetically Greek but what if they are related to the Tarim mummies? Those guys it turns out were remnants of the prehistoric population known as Ancient North Eurasian. A lot of people today are ANE descent. The Kalash could be mostly unmixed ANE who survived.
That settles the whole argument then. Technology saves the day once more

No they were only in the Middle East since it’s their homeland.
@@QUINTUSMAXIMUS
They didn’t conquer Greece there was no Greece before them. They were literally a fugitives who went north running from foreign occupation from Asia on their original lands which was Syria (ancient Syria like the Greek historian Herodotus described it) to the north and established Greece. Then they named the cities they established a names in their original language. And when they have established a force they returned to liberate and protect their homeland then the romans continued this and they even crowned emperors and empress from their homeland like Philip the Arab and his sons, Septimius Severus Arabicus and his sons, his wife Julia domna and her sister Julia maesa..etc. (Funny is that there was no emperor or empress from the northern “European” who claim now they are from the same origin and related to the Ancient Greek and romans)
Ancient Greeks and Romans have real relationship with Arabs not like the rest of the world who are trying to cling to them. They had conflicts but were internal conflicts not occupation.
Fun fact ancient greeks and romans never linked themselves with the northern barbarian( they named them this name) who are named Northern European today the Germanic, Celtic, franks and Slavic. They viewed them as foreigners and were at wars with them constantly.
Go learn real history.

Love you my precious people Kalash.
They are the original indigenous members of the Aryan Race. Their ethnicity, culture, language etc., is Aryan (Indo-European). They speak a Dardic tongue. It is hoped that though Islam is a fine Semitic religion these great people will not be Semitized religiously. God has made the planet colorful and diverse and it shall stay that way. They are being made to believe (via brainwashing) that they are Greeks or Macedonians they are neither just indigenous Aryans. Besides Alexander was not known to have entered this region after his battle with Porus he withdrew from the Indian subcontinent. Alexander was only in what is now the Pakistani Punjab.Whether Alexander or the great Kshatriya (Rajput) Porus won is surely not clear but both survived and Alexander withdrew.
The outcome of the battle of Hydaspes was crystal clear. Alexander won though with severe casualties and his already tired troops once realizing the magnitude of a campaign in India revolted and demanded to go home. King Porus remained as a ruler of a client kingdom. I really dont understand why the Indian state gets so butthurt about this incident to the point of denying the outcome without providing ANY solid sources.
The Kalash people are probably indigenous people caught up in a romantic background pressed upon them. Many of them seem to embrace it and it seems that they did had some oral traditions related to the passing by, Greek troops. Now the extend of a real tradition and a manufactured one due to their need for attention and financial help, I cant know. After all they are surrounded by foundamentalistic shitholes, for them to assume a ''glorious identity'' that resonates with the west might be a way to survive. Personaly I believe that they are indigenous people, it wouldnt be that far fetched for some of them to have a small percentage of Greek dna, but the researches until now do not support it. On a last note. Its mentioned (not by you) that Greeks try to highjack the Kalash people. Well... no. Actually there is absolutely no need to claim an obscure little group in the middle of nowhere. On the contrary it creates troubles and obligations that the Greek state is not willing to take on. The whole thing has a romantic charm and some private citizens might feel moved but thats the end of it. By chance it happened that a family friend married a Kalash woman, I dont know how they met he was a captain in the merchant navy. They moved to Greece and she continued to practice her religion which had some common elements with the ancient Greek one. Now was it a cultural remnant of the hellenistic era of Asia? Was it just a version of the proto-indoeuropean common cults? Im not in the place to say.
perfectly said.

@@Laila-hl8dc There are so many things wrong with your comment.
1. You're called Laila. Why did you put a heart?
2. Kalash people aren't descended from Greeks, although they are related to them genetically and linguistically as they are both part of the Indo-European language family. The Kalasha people are remnants of the ancient vedic aryan invaders who got isolated in the paropamisus and received relatively low amounts of IVC admixture compared to their counterparts down below. The vedic aryan people were a mix of steppe and BMAC genes. The greeks were steppe genes who mixed with southern european neolithic genes. So it was a two-way parting.
3. I you think greeks colonised some islamic arab land in pakistan and put their offspring there, might I assume you came from the american education system? Firstly, paropamisus during Alexander the Great was BUDDHIST, Zoroastrian, and shamanistic. Alexander the Great and his descendants however never touched the area and almost a millenia later the arabs arrived at the area, bringing their wretched religion with them. The mongols when they plundered central asia told of the Kalash and never massacred them and described them as being gentle and peaceful people. However, the muslims in the area were trying to and had been trying to convert them to islam, calling them infidels and whatever. This discrimination has been happening for over 12 centuries, and I doubt it will get any better next year, so it was the muslims who "forcefully colonised"

Finally genetic studies have Kalash people no connections to Greece or Macedonia. They are closer to the Iranian people and are Indo-European.
They should migrate to India. They were part of India for thousands of years, so they'll be going back to their roots. Their religion is somewhat similar to Hinduism too. They'll fit in, and it'll add to India's diversity. Besides, there are other Dard groups in India today, so they'll fit right in. Moreover, Muslim fanaticism is much less in India, so the Kalash will be safer there. Their Brokpa cousins will give them comfort too.

Teacher from the Kalash tells the truth. The population in the fortress believes that it is of Albanian origin, the Kalash population does not believe that their origin is Greek. They are of Albanian origin, fighters of the army of Alexander the Great. The religious beliefs of the population in Kalash are pagan beliefs that have nothing to do with the Christian or Muslim religion. In the culture of the Kalash people there are
pellasgian names and proofs based on the Albanian language. The castle is being invested by the Greek state with Byzantine-style buildings to help this very poor but noble population

They were Albanians from Atlantis
Irrelevant. albanian origin is not even a notion for those people. These people are there for millenia and their culture is related to local and ancient greek elements. Nothing albanian existed during the hellenistic period.

0:22 The Macedonian General… I feel that there is an unnecessary separation there! He was Greek and started from Greece or better he was Macedonian and Started from MAKEDONIA( which was and still is the part from north Greece)
You can’t say he was Maceedonian and started from Greece like they are two different things! DON‘ T TRY TO DELIVER HIDDEN MESSAGES! HISTORY WILL NOT BE WRITTEN AGAIN
Great Aleksander is MacedoniaNorth 🇲🇰 is not Greece.. Olimpia is Albania 🇦🇱. Father filip from Macedonia North🇲🇰
@Λία Μπ. i don't agree!! You read the book research Nadin Lucia. Italian
@@katjageos3857 search about the first video of mrHistory and then your brain will be explode by the too much truth
1 Maccabees 1:7 So Alexander reigned twelves years, and then died.
1 Maccabees 1:8 And his servants bare rule every one in his place.
1 Maccabees 1:9 And after his death they all put crowns upon themselves; so did their sons after them many years: and evils were multiplied in the earth.
And your point is?
Last remnants of Rig Vedic Ancient Hindu Civilization!
... Long live the Kalash People ... !!!
Kalash people are Ancient descendants of Illyrian people present Albania/ Kosovo today. Proud of them they never lost their roots, language and music, same as Albania today. They fled Albania from Alexander the Great over 2300 years ago.
ne seri molim te !
oni kazu da potice iz aleksadra makedonskog a vi odma oni si albanci iliri e svasta covek moze da se iznaslusa .
Thanks marina for the info.
The men dressed in Pakistani outfits so I am wondering what the Kalash men traditionally outfit would have been.
We also have Christian preachers, typically from America, trying to go into the jungles of Brazil to 'convert' the native tribes; not with much success I dont think, but Im sure if they could implement more oppressive means (such as in the past) they would.
Lol, not quite brother. I live in Brazil, in the Amazon region, and there are many missionaries who work in villages in different ways. Many natives convert, others not so much. There is also the governmental issue, since the left-wing government prevents not only missionaries from entering, but also other groups that have nothing to do with religion.
Have some shame
Your problem is not the missionaries. Just look at your country's history and don't blame the wrong people.
Diese wunderbare Menschen sind Griechische Abstammung man sieht ihre Geschichter
There can be no doubt that by looking at "some" of these Kalash people, mestization has definitely occurred with Europeans. To what extent? I have no idea but it occurred at some point in their history whether with Greeks or other Europeans. The skin tone on "some" of them is not typical of your average Pakistani. In conclusion, colored eyes, lighter skin tone, physical features on "some" of the Kalash people tell a different story than that of ordinary citizens of Pakistan. If I were to go on a hunch, I would guess 25% European and 75% South Asian admixture.
That was thought to be the case before but in 2019 a study found they are a genetic isolate separated very early from neighboring populations. Among other surprises, it was found that they are about as close to the Ancient North Eurasians as modern Native Americans are.
@@VoodooH5 Very cool, I will definitely look into that. Thanks for the info.
Completely misleading documentry actually kalash valley culture is ancient Hinduism their dna also closest to hindu Brahmins
@@dutcheastindies8354 yes please visit to dna haplogrops studies of Kalash people and studying their culture and religion which is vedic hinduism

Interesting documentary, but the commercials are so annoying.
Practise of burning incense and bread flour etc is also practised by us everyday ... nyingmapa and bon buddhism...
They are descended from the Aryan people who migrated from the central asian steppes to south asia. Who constitutes current Hindus.
@@sandeepmanjummal3704 Although their tradition is the ancient Vedic tradition, much different than the developed, philosophical modern Hinduism today.
The people, their culture, and their ancestral homeland are all beautiful. Hopefully they are protected and live peaceful lives.
@S K I don't want them to have to be decimated, erased, eradicated, or killed off by the mob of Muslim populists in the country that see anything that is not Islam as anti-Islam. That is no way to live. People who have lived and developed a culture that has nothing to do with Islam have a right to flourish. These are not white people. They may be Caucasian but that isn't the same thing. Why are you so offended???????????????????????????????
A real Mouslem doesn’t kill people and doesn’t force a person of another faith to convert to Islam .
LOL
Exactly true
Lol...... 😂😂😂😂😂 Meaning all those imams are not Muslims?😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@ObingNNgpk yes they are not.
@@amaanshaikh6868 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 joke of the eternity.... 😂😂😂😂
