That's not legend, it's history. Alexander left colonies there. The colonists mostly became Buddhists. A Greek Buddhist society flourished there for centuries until the Muslim invasion.

Quite strange, considering the Kalash practice some very archaic form of Hinduism.That's not legend, it's history. Alexander left colonies there. The colonists mostly became Buddhists. A Greek Buddhist society flourished there for centuries until the Muslim invasion.

Also, The Bactrians and Gandharans fell to the Huns a good 3 centuries before the Arab conquests, what was left behind during those days were but mere shadows. That said The Arabs most certainly wiped away whatever was left there.
Think they sailed the skies?

Probably Soldiers to old, weak or injured to walk home. Its a long walk from Macedonia to India. His army Mutinied in India...amazing things those people probably saw and did.
Would be so fascinating to live one of their lives. Imagine the sense of pride..

The Houthis are Shia, the Taliban fucking hate them.Did you guys see the Houthis lighting off fireworks in Yemen? I've been talking with a few of my arab friends and a jihadi surge seems to be on the horizon. Decades of sandmonkey copium have been vindicated and they're going to get uppity EVERYWHERE
Personally, I can't wait. ZOG crumbles, God laughs!

The major written sources we have on Alexander are Arrian and Plutarch, who were writing at a comparative historical distance from him as Columbus is to us. However they had access to contemporary sources, now lost. Larry Gonick does a very good job of using both historians in his graphic novel histories. The other major way we know about Greek cities in the region is archaelogy. This is a recent book mostly about the excavation of Ai Khanoum

Yeah but they work together against the great satan all the time. That much is well known. Iraq 2006 was a wonderful example

To be fair, most rural folk (and a fair amount of cityfolk) did at the time. The Taliban mostly feel this way too, though since they follow strict Sharia, and Mohammed banged Aisha at 9, they have to allow fields that haven't grown in yet either. (They discourage this, but their hands are tied, it's basically part of their bill of rights.)

This was my experience as well, only there was definitely a robust "inside job" community before Loose Change (maybe not on 9/12, but certainly by 9/17). My state was deep blue and we had a bunch of leftie universities packed with those strange Before Time Lefters; "the deep state knew and profited from it" was the center/ center-right position, and that didn't really change until Obama became commander in the chief (the Howard Dean pushers sold him as the Great Black Hope, the Progessive man's Russ Feingold, and when Barry actually won and then started expanding the War on Terror the day he got into office, surviving lefties just kind of knuckled under and went with it - because hey! "at leasT hE's Not bUsh!")
And it wasn't just local lefties, either. You had fake news rags like Mother Jones, and even respectable glowie news like The Economist, sounding the alarm against the neoconservative agenda and the Deep State. I doubt anyone at The Economist or New Republic went so far as to accuse Bush/Cheney of perpetrating the attacks (OIL MAN BAD), but I would not be surprised if dedicated archeologists could find people at Mother Jones taking the Truth Pill prior to Loose Change.

You joke, but yes.
Racial nationalism is a very american phenomenon. The 19th and early 20th century in Europe were the age of pan-nationalism, which was the widest net of national definition that happene here until black germans and indian englishmen became a thing. Pan-nationalism is not the race though, but ethnic cultural and linguistic relatet peoples. The most famous would be German pan-nationalism, that sprung up after the napoleonic wars and set out to unite the different german states, cultural groups and dialects under one state. The result was the small german solution which led to the formation of Germany under Prussian primacy. The national socialists and other groups cast the net wider, including all germanics. There also was, and is, slavic pan-nationalism led by russia, arab pan-nationalism, which was a big deal in the 20th century and has effects until now, and southslavic pan-nationalism that was the idea behind yugoslavia. Which didn't exactly work out well.
It is in fact the rule, not the exception, that pan-nationalist states fall apart.
Small peoples have always fought for their identity and culture with huge ferocity.
So many "weak" tribes and peoples survived while bigger ones fell.
Examples include the Basques, the Swiss, the Irish and, of course, the Jews.
The Little House books have a bit where 13yo Laura is spending time with a friend and they visit a house with a 13yo wife and are both appalled and feel very sorry for her. So it definitely happened but it wasn't normative.
