The Kalash Tribe of Pakistan

Picture It: The Polytheistic Kalash Tribe of Pakistan | Kalash Tribe, Pakistan, Picture of the Day | CitizenSugar - News and Politics

Saw this on Yahoo!.

They look like a completely different race. In a way, they remind me of how native Australians look, but its very different and really interesting. They claim to be the direct descendants of Alexander the Great. It'd be cool if someone could some genetic tracing to see if that's true.

Not sure if this is more WR or Mayberry, but whatever.

Polytheism rules.

[IndyCovaHart]

Polytheism in a region surrounded by Muslims who are obsessed with the "Oneness" of God is a tough call.

I wonder how many of them have been slaughtered by fundamentalist Islamic terrorists.

they dont look different than most people, just like any other south eastern european.

only thing its maybe the hazel eyes and the slighty mediterranean look..

from the article:

"the Kalash still maintain a fertility rite where a teenage boy is sent alone into the surrounding woods for a year and when he returns is treated to a feast and the mating rites to as many of the Kalash women he chooses."

survive in the woods for a year, then i get a buffet and as many chicks as i can handle. sounds like a fair deal.

A year is a pretty long ass time, though. I'm sure the boys cheat and just hop from town to town then throw some mud on themselves before they go back.
