It is odd that people choose to ignore actual archeology- especially when it directly corroborates historical text. Which is quite different than folktales- perhaps your reference to 'Israelites' for which there is no real archeological evidence, is there?
Are you confusing correlation with causation? The Kalash are not an isolated group, so much as they have resisted to their best of their ability to mix with their Muslim neighbors (Pakistanis) because they are not of them and consider Phillip II to be their patriarch.
The incredible lengths people go to to try and obfuscate the obvious lol... 'Isolated central asian group without much contact or intermixing with subcontinent folks claims ethongenesis with Greeks over 4 thousand miles away'.
- selimthegrim 2y agoGreeks didn’t leave much behind genetically in their Afghan settlements, Kalash are a relict from when PIE populations first came into Europe, as I think Y haplogroups show
- wutangson1 2y agoKalash are a relic of Proto-Indo Europeans is a catch all with no evidence. Such claims with no actual evidence is not worth talking about. But I guess the Greeks did leave behind influence given the new and improved muscled Buddhas that resembled Apollo
- selimthegrim 2y agoNobody is denying Greek influence on Buddhas that even reached Japan. But Kalash language has absolutely nothing to do with Greek
- wutangson1 2y agoThe Kalash language is a mix of the languages found in the region- Tajik, uzbek, tartar, persian, etc. But, there are Greek words for woman, washing, winter, greetings etc used among the several Kalash tribes that are Greek. While even that can be explained under the PIE theory, your statement of 'absolutely nothing to do with Greek' does not stand. But further study- genetic and archeological- is necessary.
- selimthegrim 2y ago>The Kalash language is a mix of the languages found in the region- Tajik, uzbek, tartar, persian, etc. You absolutely need a citation for this. Where are these words in Nuristani? Kalash speak two languages and only one is Indo-Aryan.
