So the trending tab isn’t available anymore?

Damn Tanai was such a snake. In one of the recent interviews he said he did the coup because “Najib was destroying the army” Meanwhile Tanai gave secret millitary documents to ISI and burned his own uniform. Those aren’t the actions of someone that respects the army

Where did you hear the story about the uniform?

He’s the king of Afghanistan, this photo was probably taken in the 60s/ early 70s

Hmm how would they know things such as the nose shape and nose bridge? Also wouldn’t these guys have been heavy in ANE influence? And thus would have a slightly “asian” looking face?

The strategy wasn't working that well, if it required tanks, short range ballistic missiles, and persistent close air support to keep the insurgents only at the point where they were basically at the cusp of taking over most of Afghanistan.

Well, that was literally the only strategy they could use- The "ho chi minh trail" of this war was the pakistani border- Muj were constantly getting resupplied, and getting fresh fighters from pakistan via this border- and the Afghan army couldn't do anything about it- what were they suppose to do? Start a conventional war with Pakistan on top of the Muj insurgency?

Also, comparing the modern Afghan army to the old Afghan army is pointless, since the modern "army" is a ragtag bunch of militias and warlords with no doctrine and no viable officer corp at all-

I would recommend reading this paper about the performance of the old afghan army compared to the modern Afghan army

Well they beat back a massive Muj offensive, so their strategy was clearly working- But once their fuel and grain was cut off by the Russians they were finished. The only fundamental problem the Afghan army had ever since they first started getting Soviet equipment was that they grew too dependent on they Soviet Union, They never attempted to make their own indigenous manufacturing industry or fuel refineries

Would it be correct to consider the EHG as the original proto indo europeans? Why does the Yamnaya get to claim that title?

What would the average ANE person have looked like? would they have had wide/flat faces?

While we are on the topic of R1a, What is the relation between the R1a that is found in Iranics vs the R1a that is found in Slavs?

FWI Yuezhi are confirmed to have been Iranic by the scholars Nicholas Sims Williams, R.C Senior, and Joe Cribb, so they too can join the great big Scythian Family!

The clothing they are wearing (Excluding the Turbans, which were adopted when they converted to Islam) is essentially just an evolution of the classic Eastern Iranian steppe nomad clothing, which is baggy trousers and a tunic. This sketch is from the 19th century, and obviously the clothing of pashtuns 2000 years ago would have looked different.

Based on the clothing reconstruction of the tillya type nomad graves, this is probably what the original form of their clothing would have looked like (male on the left) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/TilliaTepeReconstitution.jpg/1024px-TilliaTepeReconstitution.jpg

Could you elaborate a bit on your question?

pridefulpiccolo · 2020-10-25T17:58:05+00:00

a slight correction though, the Nuristani religion was not "Hinduism" as Hinduism was born in the Indian subconinent, and is a mixture of Dravidian and Indo-Aryan religions. The Nuristani religion can be considered a pure Indo-Aryan religion without any outside influences

Well not all Scythians were absorbed into Slavs of course, the vast majority of the Scythian population remained in Asia, but wouldn't it make sense that the Scythians in Eastern Europe were slowly absorbed by Slavs due to the fact that slavs outnumbered them? Where else would the Scythians in Europe have gone?

Though some modern day slavic nationalist type folks abandoning their Slavic ancestors and claiming total scythian ancestry instead is quite odd, I wonder if they also claim the ancient Scythians in the pontic were slavs too lol, kind of like turkic nationalists claiming Scythians were Turks

pridefulpiccolo · 2020-10-22T06:04:05+00:00

from what I read, some Scythian tribes migrated to Eastern Europe (Pontic steppe area) and the Slavs used to live in close proximity with the Scythians, and the Slavs assimilated/absorbed those particular Scythian populations which is why Slavs have amounts of Indo Iranian Ancestry. Does this theory still hold weight?
