The Kalash people are a Dardic indigenous people residing in the Chitral District of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. They speak the Kalasha language, from the Dardic family of the Indo-Iranian branch. They are considered unique among the peoples of Pakistan.They are also considered to be Pakistan's smallest religious community.
They are polytheists and nature plays a highly significant and spiritual role in their daily life. As part of their religious tradition, sacrifices are offered and festivals held to give thanks for the abundant resources of their three valleys.
Kalash mythology and folklore has been compared to that of ancient Greece, but they are much closer to Indo-Iranian (pre-Zoroastrian Vedic) traditions.
The Kalash have fascinated anthropologists due to their unique culture compared to the rest in that region.
the Kalash claim descent from ancient Macedonian soldiers associated with Alexander the Great's invasion of southwest Asia.
However recent examination of DNA shows that the Kalash community has more in common with Siberian hunter-gatherers than Alexander the Great.
But...
What if the Kalash were really descent from hellenistic greeks and their culture and customs were very,very close at ancient greece culture?
We ipotize that in late XXI century the British from India discover this hellenistic people that speaks a greek dialect, live in little greek cities,with temples and theaters and follow for the most ancient customs and owns texts of poets,tragedians,authors lost by long time.
Which reactions in UK and Europe?
The Kalash are protected as last descent of European culturals and spirituals ancestors?
