A Greek Tragedy

Today I met a family originally from the Kailash Valley in Northern Pakistan. They were so kind, and one girl even donned some traditional tribal dress for a photograph.  These people are descended from the soldiers of Alexander the Great, who, after waging war through much of Central Asia, reached the Kailash Valley many hundreds of years ago.  It is said that the people of this area were so beautiful that soldiers in Alexander’s army cried when they had to leave.  In any case, this fascinating sub-culture remains to this day. Maybe I’ll get an opportunity to go to that area myself one day!
