Where ripen Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and China, there is spout Hundza. It`s over 2500 m above sea level and surrounded by mountains seven thousand meter high. Pone this mountain altitude produced entirely of vegetables, fruits and whole grains endryshëm, there are produced from potatoes, beans, wheat, barley, watermelon, grape, cherry, apple, pear, peach and apricot. Residents are field-makers (farmers) have created wonderful Nail its system of irrigation and drainage, drainage channels called KULLSE. (Classifieds drainage) mountain top covered with glaciers called RAKAPOSHI (K-fell kahposhtë) supplies the valley with drinking water. Qafirstani seen as paradise on earth in northeast Pakistan, with beautiful lakes, ujëvaremahnitise, green forests intact, permanent snow and sun gently. But nukështë only country that fascinates. But who are the kafir? Hundëzakët live about 100-140 years. Residents living in harmony and kanëshëndet good time without disease are known to live in that world. A mother gives son tëlindur breasts to three years, and only two girls. In no partitions spout married couples. They call themselves hundëzakë because they live in valleys between mountains eka shape of the nose. Languages spoken by them is BURRUSHASKI (slip-burrërrisht), which is not written language. Men wear SHALVARE (Albanian: shal-sledge), while their gratëbluzën KAMISHA call. Their dances accompanied by drums, flutes and dancers jump apopipëzat capture hand in hand around. On festive occasions burratveshin wool cape called Peaks. October is a celebration of wine (alcoholic beverages). Gratënuk are covered with veils or headscarves Holiday is the most important of the Solar New Year. This celebration is called Uros NA (Classifieds). In a single day of December marriages performed all year. Hundëzakët etregojnë generations how their history have remained there since the III century p. e. s.dhe that originate from the time of Alexander the Great. Aristides Kola arvanitas historian in his book, Arvanites “writes. . . Big Alexandria, Illyrian his mother had increased his army with soldiers chosen Illyrians. But the Kliti pasvrasjes by Alexander the Great, note that the period of about six thousand ushtarëilirë were separated from the latter and being separated positioned separately in Braktane up Qafirstanin SAU focused on today. . . Spout, because they live in the geographical part of the form of Nasal. So we have to address a host of Illyria (today about 50 thousand of them) which remain to ngakoha of Alexander the Great, from the time of the conquest of the Kingdom of Darius of Persia. The place was called Qafirstan ihundëzakëve because not accept Islamization. (Qafirstan-country unbelievers). Hundëzakët lived for thousands of years as early pagan shekullitXIX until Amir Abdur Rahman Khan of Kufr has converted to Islam. (1895-1896). After the conquest of the Emir of Kabul place was named Nuristan (Spot Light). Qafirstani ishtepushtuar often Emir and certainly before their identities were downgraded, “Priest” of them were killed, burned religious centers, youth were taken by force to the military, the harem kursevajzat Khan. What is also important to hundëzakët today’s meujë mixed drink wine, as our ancestors Illyrians. People are tall, with white skin and red sunken cheeks, most of them with blue eyes, green and gray, hair, brown to yellow, gjëqë distinguishes the Afghans or Pakistanis tagjikët. Many of them leshkuq. Qafirstanit woman, “the Hundëzës Kalash women with her beauty only makes mashkullinjo kalash also lose his religion.” “When a Kalash woman drinks water dukegjarpëruar seen water down her throat during the beautiful” These zakonshmeqë are descriptions of the beauty and tenderness become kafir women. They are believed to be more white than ebardha. “From her skin veins seen through her white body.” While living high in the mountains of the Kalash tribe characteristic. Fundittë Kalash are animists of Central Asia. As a small group of five thousand persons have a history unlike other ngahundëzakët. Over the centuries Qafirstani was divided into two areas-it’s tëzinj kafir today are the kafir Kalash and red, their descendants now live in Nuristan qëiu subject of jihad Emir of Kabul. “The black kafir” live their faith today Animist, which is believed to edhedruri soul. With thousands of years Kalash have survived and maintained their unique culture, social and linguistic identity, but the new century has faced two new tëfundamentalizmit religious confrontation and climate change. Hundëzës and hundëzakëve study is of great importance for Albanian culture, sepsekanë lived thousands of years apart from the circle and also are popular store features, and customary language Illyrian-Albanian. Where are we? Pakistani media first started shkrujnë for this group of people during the 70-takur Qafirstani faced with hunger. Thanking Prime Zylfiqar Ali Bhutto (who was originally from hundëzakët), was declared tragedy and saved Gentiles, ndërsaAli Bhutto was their hero. But, with the advent of Deoband in force since 1979 (President Zia Ul Haq) the last shënoifillimin kafir (hundëzakëve). Who are Deoband? A Wahhabi version of Islam, who believe that only atadhe wahabitë should exist, other Islamic sects should disappear. Gjeneral Zija Ul Haq (himself a member of the sect Deobant) went so far as to side tablirrëve (tablirrët, stream deobantëve) islamizoi every corner of Pakistan. As a result of kësajtablirret (Taliban) forcibly entered Qafirstan taking over 70% of the territory and destroy everything indigenous and imposing harsh of Islam. The kidnap of Hundëzake-Kalash women and forced marriages to Muslim converted were and are one of the methods used today. The kidnaped women and forcibly married were not allowed to see their relatives përderisaedhe they do not take Islam as their religion. But is not the women also fsheftësi are sold with the way “that pays more.” transfer not allowed. Qafirirëve Poverty is also another major factor for tablirri-embracing Islam. The government does not give credits ot the kafir, and state police and justice of Pakistan nukkundërvehet never hundëzakëve property when attacked. Tablirret also play a hundëzakëve letërtjetër giving money to usury (which is against principles), and when they could not turn them on or else no way left tëislamohen or lose the property. Water is water and electricity only for Muslims, but the Kalash are deprived of the good ones. ËshtëSiberik Qafistanit winter, the conditions of life are papërshkruarshme. Mosques and ngrohtadhe are coursed with piped water, and Kalash houses of the snow should mërdhijnë shkrirëpër to drink. During the Kalash winter sleep and live together with the few domestic animals that kanë.S ‘no hospitals or Dispensary. Voices from coursed with magnifying read vargjekuranike day and night, and many die because they lack Kalash even elementarshëndetsor care, even recently, during the women’s birth. Thanks tablirrëve indigenous Kalash culture there më.Në almost 80 years it emerged that the wide end of the twentieth century will come to ekalashëve extinction, but is still alive about 2 to 3 thousand of them. Government of Pakistan’s kaformuar “Kalash Foundation for salvation and propagation of kafir culture. But the facts speak otherwise. CHES Valley Visitors must pay well to those people parëato countries. Visitor tickets given to depreciate called “kopshtitzoologjik ticket”. Thanks to this foundation have become artifakteantropologjike Kalash. To be the greatest irony, animal protection associations vajtojnëpër disappearance of any kind, and nobody raised their voice in defense, the tablirrët evazhdojnë recent settlement of European nations It is interesting that our neighbors have the courage to jump pathirrur our wedding. . . Greeks to send teachers for years, Greek schools open and convince the world përprejardhjen hundëzakëve like Greek, Slav-Macedonians and since 1996 dërgojnëlinguistë Slavs Kalash place to find continuity between language and the Macedonian-gjuhëssllavo burrerrishte. But the greatest irony is that in 2008 when Prime Fyromit, Gruevskithirri hundëzakë visiting Prince Ali Khan and Princess Gacanfer Roni Attica, as descendants of Alexander the Great, this just to show continuity with hundëzakët Macedonian Slavs (!) . . . . . . . Albanians our wedding and we put her veil and neglect.


     
Ata që njohin gjuhën e mistereve të qiellit e të tokës. Këta janë Hundëzakët, banorë të një lugine majë malesh, 2500 mt. mbi nivelin e detit, aty ku piqen Afganistani, Pakistani, Taxhikistani dhe Kina. Ata flasin Sanskritisht, sot e mijra vjet, e kjo gjuhë në fakt nuk është gjë tjetër përveçse gjuha antike pellazgo-iliro-shqiptare.

-këto vajza të vogla, si shumë moshatar të tyre që jetojnë këtyre majave, duken si banoret e fshatrave tona të thella malore, por ata janë thjesht banorë të Hundëzës, dhe trashëgimtarë të padiskutueshëm të Lekës së Madh-
…….
Për Hundëzakët nuk ka mëshirë! Të gjithë i kanë bezdi, për pastërtin dhe bukurin e rracës, për dinjitetin e tyre, sidhe për veçorinë e gjuhës që askush nuk ua kupton. Ajo gjuhë njeh dhe fsheh mistere të mëdha, tokësore e qiellore. Por bota ziliqare, malinje, mendon se ata duhet të zhduken! Por sa gabim e kane !!!


Para disa muajsh, atje, ne ato male u gjend një makineri shume e çuditshme, e fshehur ne nje shpelle, sigurisht nga banoret e zones, nga hundëzakët. Kjo ishte makina fluturuese, ajo që indianët e vjetër e konsideronin si kopja teknologjike e asaj qe realizon vet njeriu i plotesuar, njeriu qe fluturon vetem me fuqine (energjine) dhe teknikat e trupit te tij. Amerikanet, dmth, ushtaret qe pastronin ato male nga talebanet, u futen ne shpelle dhe gjeten kete relike, sidhe nje dokument qe pasqyronte teknologjine dhe formulen e ketij lloj fluturimi, si per makinen si per vete njeriun perfekt. Por ky dokument eshte i shkruar ne nje gjuhe qe askush nuk e njeh, perveç ketyre njerezve te mire e te vecante…!!! ………………………..

 Ne shqiptarët dasmës sonë ia vëmë vellon e harresës!Aty ku piqen Afganistani, Pakistani, Taxhikistani dhe Kina, aty është Hundëza.
   
Hundëzaështë mbi 2500 m mbi nivelin e detit dhe rrethohet me male 7 mijë metërshe të larta. Po në këtë lartësi mbidetare e krejtësisht malore prodhohen perimet, pemët dhe drithërat e ndryshëm, aty prodhohen prej patateve, fasules, grurit, elbit, shalqirit, rrushit, qershisë, mollës, dardhës, pjeshkës dhe kajsisë. Banorët janë arë-bërës(bujq) të mrekullueshëm dhe e kanë krijuar sistemin e vet të vaditjes e kullimit, kanalet kulluese pra, që quhen KULLSE (shqip kulluese).

 Mali i lartë i mbuluar me akullnaja quhet RAKAPOSHI ( shqip -ra kahposhtë) e furnizon luginën me ujë të pijshëm. Qafirstani shihet si parajsë në tokë në Pakistanin Verilindor, me liqene të bukur, ujëvaremahnitise, pyje të paprekura të gjelbra, borë të përhershme dhe diell të butë. Nuk është vetëm vendi që të magjeps. Por kush janë qafirët? Hundëzakët jetojnë rreth 100- 140 vjet. Banorët që jetojnë në harmoni të plotë dhe kanë shëndet të mirë pa sëmundje të kohës janë të njohur në botë se rrojnë gjatë.
Një djali të lindur nëna i jep gjinj deri në tre vjet, kurse vajzës vetëm dy. Në Hundëzë nuk ka ndarje të çifteve të martuara. E quajnë veten hundëzakë, sepse lugina mes malesh ku jetojnë eka formën e hundës. Gjuha e folur prej tyre është BURRUSHASKI ( shqip-burrërrisht),gjuhë e cila nuk shkruhet. Burrat veshin SHALVARE ( shqip:shal-vare), ndërsa gratë bluzën e tyre e quajnë KAMISHA. Vallet e tyre shoqërohen nga tupanët, fyejt apopipëzat dhe valltarët kërcejnë të kapur dorë për dore në rreth. Në raste festash burratveshin pelerinë leshi të quajtur çuka. Në tetor është festa e verës (pijeve alkoolike). Gratë nuk janë të mbuluara me perçe e as shamija.


-nje hundëzake dhe nje mirditore- (gjejeni dallimin)
Festa më e rëndësishme është ajo e Vitit të Ri Diellor. Ky festim quhet NA UROSH (shqip). Në një ditë të vetme të dhjetorit kryhen të gjitha martesat e vitit. Hundëzakët e tregojnë brez pas brezi historinë e tyre se si kanë mbetur aty që nga shekulli III p. e. s.dhe se e kanë prejardhjen që nga koha e Aleksandrit të Madh. Aristidh Kola, historian arvanitas në librin e tij , , Arvanitasit” shkruan. . . Aleksandri imadh, ilir nga nëna e tij e kishte rritur ushtrinë e tij me ushtarë të zgjedhur ilirë. Por pasvrasjes së Klitit nga ana e Lekës së Madh, atë periudhë e veçojmë se rreth 6 mijë ushtarëilirë u ndanë nga ky i fundit dhe veçuan duke u pozicionuar të veçuar në Braktane deri sau përqendruan në Qafirstanin e sotëm. . . Hundëza ,me qenë se pjesa gjeografike ku ata jetojnë e ka formën e Hundës. Pra, fjalën e kemi për një mori ilirësh ( e sot rreth 50 mijë sish) që kanë mbetur aty që ngakoha e Lekës së Madh, nga koha e pushtimit të Mbretërisë së Persisë të Dariusit. Vendi ihundëzakëve u quajt Qafirstan për shkak se nuk e pranuan islamizimin. (Qafirstan –vendi jobesimtarëve). Hundëzakët jetuan me mijëra vjet si paganë deri në fillim të shekullitXIX, deri sa Emiri Abdur Rrahman Khan i konvertoi qafirët në islam. (1895-1896). Pas pushtimit të Emirit të Kabulit vendi u quajt Nuristan (Vend i Dritës) . Qafirstani ishtepushtuar shpesh edhe para Emirit dhe sigurisht që identiteti i tyre u degradua, ”priftat “ e tyre u vranë, qendrat fetare ishin djegur, të rinjtë ishin marrë me zor për ushtri, kursevajzat për haremet e khanëve. Çka është e rëndësishme që hundëzakët edhe sot e kësaj dite e pinë verën e përzier meujë, si të parët tanë ilirët. Janë popull trupgjatë, me lëkurë të bardhë dhe mollëza të kuqe,shumica e tyre me sy të kaltër, të gjelbër dhe hiri, flokët e verdhë deri në ngjyrëkafe, gjëqë i dallon nga afganët, tagjikët apo pakistanezët. Shumë prej tyre edhe leshkuq. Femra e Qafirstanit, “femra kalashe e Hundëzës me bukurinë e saj e bën që mashkulli, jo vetëm kalash, të humbë edhe fenë e tij.” “Kur një grua kalashe pi ujë i shihet uji duke gjarpëruar teposhtë fytit të saj të gjatë e të bukur”, Këto janë përshkrime të zakonshme që i bëhen bukurisë dhe butësisë së femrës Qafire. Ato besohet të jenë më të bardha se e bardha. ” Nga lëkura e saj shihen edhe venat nëpër trupin e saj të bardhë “. Kurse lartë në male jeton fisi karakteristik i Kalashëve. Kalashët janë animistët e fundit të Azisë Qendrore. Si grup i vogël prej 5 mijë vetash e kanë një histori më ndryshe nga hundëzakët tjerë.

Me kalimin e shekujve Qafirstani u nda në dy zona- ajo e qafirëve të zinj e që sot janë kalashët dhe qafirët e kuq, pasardhësit e tyre sot jetojnë në Nuristan e që iu nënshtruan xhihadit të Emirit të Kabulit. “Qafiret e zinj” jetojnë edhe sot me besimin e tyre Animist, me të cilin besohet se edhe druri ka shpirt. Me mijëra vjet kalashët e kanë ruajtur dhe mbijetuar kulturën e tyre unike,identitetin social dhe gjuhësor, por shekulli i ri i ka përballur me dy përballje të reja tëfundamentalizmit fetar dhe ndryshimeve klimatike. Studimi i Hundëzës dhe hundëzakëve ka rëndësi të madhe për kulturën shqiptare , sepsekanë jetuar me mijëra vjet të veçuar nga rrethi dhe ashtu janë ruajtur tiparet popullore,gjuhësore dhe zakonore ilire-shqiptare. Ku jemi? Mediet pakistaneze filluan së pari të shkrujnë për këtë grup njerëzish gjatë viteve të 70-takur Qafirstani u ballafaqua me uri. Duke i falënderuar kryeministrit Zylfiqar Ali Bhutto( i cili ishte me origjinë nga hundëzakët), u shpall tragjedia dhe paganët shpëtuan, ndërsaAli Bhutto ishte hero i tyre. Por, me ardhjen e deobandëve në fuqi dhe viti 1979 (Presidenti Zia Ul Hak) e shënoifillimin e fundit të qafirëve (hundëzakëve). Kush janë deobandët? Një version Wahabi i islamit, të cilët mëndojnë se vetëm atadhe wahabitë duhet të ekzistojnë, sektet tjera fetare islame duhen të zhduken. GjeneraliZija Ul Hak (edhe vetë pjesëtar i sektit Deobant) shkoi aq larg sa me anën e tablirrëve(tablirrët, rrjedhë e deobantëve) e islamizoi çdo skutë të Pakistanit. Si rrezultat i kësajtablirret (talebanët) me forcë u futën në Qafirstan duke marrë mbi 70% të territorit dheduke shkatërruar çdo gjë autoktone hundëzake dhe duke iu imponuar Islamin në mënyratmë të vrazhda. Rrëmbimimi i femrave hundëzake –kalashe dhe martesat me dhunë për t’i konvertuarnë islam ishin dhe janë një prej metodave të përdorura edhe sot e kësaj dite. Femrave tërrëmbyera dhe të martuara me dhunë nuk iu lejohej të shihnin të afërmit e tyre përderisaedhe ata nuk e merrnin islamin si fe të tyre. Por, nuk është as fsheftësi kur femrat edhe janë shitur me mënyrën “se kush paguan më shumë”. Hundëzakëve nuk iu lejohet bartja earmëve. Varfëria e qafirirëve është po ashtu faktor tjetër i madh për përqafimin e tablirri-Islamit. Qeveria nuk jep kredite pë qafirët, kurse policia dhe drejtësia shtetërore e Pakistanit nukkundërvehet kurrë kur sulmohet prona e hundëzakëve. Tablirret luajnë edhe me një letërtjetër duke iu dhënë hundëzakëve para me fajde (që është kundër parimeve), dhe kur ata nuk mund t’i kthejnë më ato s’u mbetet gjë tjetër ose tëislamohen ose të humbasin pronën. Uji i ujësjellësit dhe rryma elektrike është vetëmpër myslimanët, kurse kalashët janë të privuar nga ato të mira. Dimri i Qafistanit ështëSiberik, e kushtet e jetës janë të papërshkruarshme. Xhamitë dhe mejtepet janë të ngrohtadhe me ujë nga ujësjellësi, kurse shtëpitë e kalashëve të mërdhijnë e bora duhet shkrirëpër t’u pirë. Gjatë dimrit kalashët flenë dhe jetojnë së bashku me shtazët e pakta shtëpiake që i kanë.S’ka spitale e as dispanzeri. Zërat me zmadhuese nga mejtepet ditë e natë lexojnë vargjekuranike, kurse shumë kalashë vdesin sepse iu mungon kujdesi edhe më elementarshëndetsor, bile së fundi edhe gjatë lindjës së grave. Duke iu falënderuar tablirrëve kultura autoktone kalashe thuaja se nuk ekziston më.Në vitët e 80-ta flitej se gjerë në fund të shekullit XX do të vijë deri te shuarja ekalashëve, por ja që janë ende gjallë nja 2 deri 3 mijë sish. Qeveria e Pakistanit e kaformuar “Fondacionin Kalash për shpëtimin dhe propagimin e kulturës Qafire. Por,faktet flasin ndryshe. Vizitorët e Luginës së kalshëve duhet të paguajnë mirë për t’i parëato vende e ata njerëz. Bileta që i jepet vizitorit quhet me nënçmim “biletë e kopshtitzoologjik”. Duke iu falënderuar këtij fondacioni kalashet janë shndërruar në artifakteantropologjike. Për të qenë ironia më e madhe, shoqatat për mbrojtjen e kafshëve vajtojnëpër zhdukjen e ndonjë lloji, kurse askush nuk e ngrit zërin në mbrojtje të tyre, e tablirrët evazhdojnë shlyerjen e paganëve të fundit evropianë Është interesant që fqinjët tanë kanë guxim që të pathirrur të kërcejnë në dasmën tonë. . .Grekët me vite të tëra dërgojnë mësues, hapin shkolla greke dhe e bindin botën përprejardhjen e hundëzakëve si grekë, kurse sllavo-maqedonasit që nga viti 1996 dërgojnëlinguistë sllavë në vendin e kalashëve për të gjetur vazhdimësi gjuhësore në mes gjuhëssllavo-maqedone dhe asaj burrerrishte. Kurse ironia edhe më e madhe është ajo e vitit 2008 kur kryeministri i Fyromit, Gruevskithirri në vizitë princin hundëzakë Gacanfer Ali Khanin dhe princeshën Roni Atika,si pasardhës të Lekës së Madh e kjo vetëm për të treguar vazhdueshmërinë sllavo –maqedonase me hundëzakët(!). . . . . . . kurse ne shqiptarët dasmës sonë ia vëmë vellon eharresës dhe të mospërfilljes.
p.s.
Ju falenderoj per vemendjen dhe interesin qe tregoni ndaj albanologjise. Ju repspektoj per qendrimet tuaja dinjitoze dhe kuptimplote. Pa ju bezdisur, do t`ju ftoja qe nese desheroni te kontribuoni ne realizimin e ketij misioni, pra vajtjen ne kete vend, midis Pakistanit dhe Afganiztanit, dhe realizimin e nje dokumentari te plote ne lidhje me keto fise iliro-shqiptare antike qe mbajne gjuhen tone dhe zakonet tona

What Is the Hunza Diet?

Fitti  is made from flour and water which is eat with tea specially in breakfast

There are many different diets available for people who wish to lose weight, live healthier lifestyles, or cure certain ailments. The Hunza diet is a low-fat option that has grown in popularity. The meal plan is based on the diet of the Hunza people of the Middle Eastern Kashmir Valley.

The Hunza people are known for their unusual longevity. Most members of the group live up to 120 to 140 years of age. When death comes, it is typically attributed to old age rather than the diseases that claim so many lives in the Western world. It is widely believed that this extreme longevity is due to the Hunza diet.

Unprocessed whole foods make up the backbone of the Hunza diet. Forty percent of total calories consumed come from whole grain foods, such as wheat, millet flour, buckwheat, or ground barley. Fresh vegetables make up an additional 30 percent of the diet. Mulberries, apricots, grapes, and other fresh fruits account for 15 percent of total calories in the diet.

Most of the rest of the diet includes beans and nuts or seeds. Of all of these foods eaten, most are consumed raw. Processing, if any, typically involves drying fruits in the sun. Milk and dairy products like yogurt are also eaten regularly, and provide protein as well as intestinal flora.

The Hunza diet typically includes a only small amount of meat. Traditionally, meat was reserved for celebrations or special occasions, though this could change when meat was readily available. This translates to a very low concentration of saturated fat by the Hunza people, preventing diseases such as gout, osteoporosis, kidney disease, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, kidney stones, colon diseases, and heart disease. Most of these conditions are considered the cause of death for many people in the West.

Results from the Hunza diet include a healthy digestive tract due to the high amount of fiber from the whole grain diet. Most of the Hunza people are said to possess a keen enthusiasm for life, as well as boundless energy. The diet is also credited with producing a calm serenity that counteracts the common stress involved with Western life. Long-lasting youth is another reported benefit of the Hunza diet.

Living as high as the peaks of the Himalayan Mountains, the Hunza are essentially cut off from the rest of the world. Their small population of 30,000 people are considered one of the happiest cultural groups in the world. Even at age 100, Hunza people do not consider themselves old. Some Hunza men produce children at this age.

Hunza is situated at the point where Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and China meet. It is over 2500 m above sea level and is surrounded by seven-thousand-meter-high mountains. But at this entirely mountainous elevation there are grown vegetables, various fruits and grains such as potatoes, beans, wheat, barley, watermelon, grape, cherry, apple, pear, peach and apricot.

The Inhabitants are great farmers and they have created their own system of irrigation and drainage; the drainage channels are called KULLS. The high snowcapped mountain, which is called RAKAPOSHI (ra kah posht – Albanian for fell downwards), supplies the valley with drinking water. Hunza people, who live in complete harmony and enjoy good health without the diseases of the time, are known in the world for their longevity.

They live up to approximately 100-140. Hunza mothers breastfeed their sons up to 3 years, whereas their daughters only up to 2 years. There is no separation of married couples in Hunza. They call themselves Hunza (=small nose in Albanian) people or Hunzakurt because of the Hunza valley’s shape like a nose. They speak BURRUSHASKI (burrërrishtja- Albanian for manliness language) which is an unwritten language.

Men wear SHALVARE, while women call their shirt KAMISHA (Albanian for Shirt). Their traditional dances are accompanied by drums, flutes or reed-pipes as they dance hand in hand forming a circle. On festive occasions men wear a woolen cape called Çuka. The wine (alcoholic beverages) festival is in October. Women do not cover their face or head with veils.

The most important holiday is the Solar New Year which is called NA UROSH (Albanian for Wish Us). All the year’s weddings are organized on a single day in December. Hunza people tell from one generation to another their story, how they have remained in the Hunza valley since 3rd century B.C., and that they have descended from the time of Alexander the Great.

Aristidh Kola, arvanitas historian writes in his book “Arvanites”: . . . Alexander the Great, Illyrian by his mother had expanded his army by choosing Illyrian soldiers. But the period after Cleitus was murdered by Alexander the Great constitutes a very significant moment because about 6 thousand Illyrian soldiers left the latter and stayed apart in Braktane until they settled in today’s Kafirstan. . .So we are referring to a large number of Illyrians (about 50 thousand of them) who have remained there since the time of Alexander the Great, since the invasion of Darius’s Kingdom of Persia. The region occupied by them was called Kafirstan (land of the infidels) because they did not accept Islamization. Hunzakuts lived for thousands of years as pagans until the early nineteenth century when Amir Abdur Rahman Khan converted them to Islam. (1895-1896).

After Emir of Kabul‘s conquest, the region was renamed Nuristan (Land of Light). Kafirstan had often been object of invasion before Emir and certainly their identity degraded, their “priests” were killed, religious centers were burned, young boys were forcefully recruited into the military forces, and young girls into Khans’ harems.

What is important is that Hunsakuts, just like our Illyrian ancestors, still drink wine mixed with water. They are tall, with a light skin and red cheek bones. Most of them have blue, green or gray eyes and blond hair, which distinguishes them from the Afghans, Pakistanis and Tajikistanis. Many of them are also red-haired.

High up in the mountains lives a peculiar tribe, the Kalash. The Kalash people are the last surviving animist in Central Asia. As a small group of 5 thousand persons, they have a slightly different history from the other Hunzakuts. Over the centuries Kafiristan was divided into two zones- the zone of the Black Kafirs who are the present day Kalasha people and the zone of Red Kafirs whose descendants still live in Nuristan. The latter subdued to Emir of Kabul’s jihad.

Black Kafirs still cling to Animism, the belief that all things have a soul even wood. For thousands of years Kalash people have survived and preserved their unique culture and their social and linguistic identity, but the new century has faced them with two great challenges: religious fundamentalism and climate changes.

fahri 5Studying Hunza and Hunzakuts is of great importance to Albanian culture, because they have lived for thousands of years apart from the rest of the world which has helped the preservation of Illyrian-Albanian customs and linguistic features.

It is interesting how our neighbors, although uninvited, have the courage to dance in our wedding. . . In fact Greeks for years have sent teachers, open schools and convinced the world of the Hunzapeople’s Greek origin, whereas Slavic-Macedonians have been sending Slavic linguists in Kalash since 1996. Their purpose is to find linguistic continuity between the Slavic-Macedonian language and the burrerrisht.

But the most ironic event took place in 2008 when the FYROM’s Prime Ministers Gruevski invited for a visit the Hunza Prince Ali Khan and Princess Gacanfer Roni Atika, as descendants of Alexander the Great. All of this was supposed to show the Slavic-Macedonian continuity with Hunza people (! ). . . . . . . On the other hand, Albanians have covered their wedding with a veil of oblivion and disregard.

The Original Hunza People.

The story of Hunza is thought to have begun with Alexander III or Alexander the Great (July 356 BC to June 10, 323 BC), son of King Philip of Macedon (Ancient Macedonia west of Greece). Alexander was a brilliant warrior, more capable than his father. After his father's murder, Alexander set out toward the east to conquer neighboring kingdoms. He conquered Greece in short fashion and continued toward Persia where he eventually burned the capital and the national library in a great defeat of the Persians.

Three generals in Alexander's army are said to have married Persian women. The generals betrayed Alexander by giving the Persians his plans. When Alexander heard of the betrayal he sought to take revenge, but the generals, wives, and a band of many soldiers fled. The valley of Hunza is thought to have been their valley of refuge because of its remote and secure location.

It is likely that the Hunza valley was already sparsely inhabited when the Macedon generals arrived. Certainly these tough fighting warriors made quick work of slaughtering the ancient inhabitants of Hunza. Though this is purely speculation, it is highly probable. The desolate rocky valley could not have supported the Macedonians unless some farms had been slowly built by others over the preceding centuries.

Hunza became an independent kingdom with a monarchy. The King used the title of Mir. The British disrupted the ruling organization of the Hunza people.

"The Mir, or ruler, of Hunza believed his tiny kingdom to be the equal of China, and likened himself to Alexander the Great from whom he claimed descent. When the British turned up in the 1870s, he took them for petitioners seeking to make Queen Victoria his vassal. Not wishing to waste time arguing, the colonial officials had him deposed, replacing him with an amenable brother whom the Mir had carelessly neglected to murder on his way to the throne."
A Kind of Kingdom in Paradise.

Hunza Rajah and Tribesmen in 1981.The British reported a population of about 8,000 people who were in good health and lived long lives, although their ages could not be verified since the Hunza people had no written records. The people were relatively healthy, especially when compared to the citizens in England where obesity, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease ravaged the British due of their high carbohydrate diet of grains, bread, sugar, honey, fruit and potatoes. The Hunza people were slender, healthy, and athletic compared to relatives of the British solders at home in England who were fat and sickly.

The Hunzakuts had lighter skin than the neighboring tribes and appeared to be of Caucasian origin. In 1950, John Clark reported seeing children with black, brown, and blond hair and an occasional redhead. They probably chose the Hunza River Valley because of its sheer isolation, but the men took wives from neighboring peoples. Hunza women were said to have been beautiful. This is highly probable since the Persian women taken as captives were likely the best looking. See page 69 in John Clark's book.

The Hunza people were land poor since there was never enough space to provide plenty. Shortage was always present, and people lived in fear of the springtime starvation when food ran desperately low.

Hunza had no soil as such. The glacial silt that formed the terraced gardens was simply ground rock. All of the animal manure was spread on the gardens to fertilize the crops and trees. The people defecated directly on the garden, and the soil was deficient in lime and phosphates, causing the trees and plants to suffer. The garden yield was considerably less than in the United States and elsewhere where good soil is available. The nitrate fertilizer from animal and human excrement was quickly flushed from the silt by the weekly flooding with glacial water.

The Hunzakuts called this "the land of just enough." The truth is Hunza was always a land of never enough, and everything was in short supply including the usable land which was limited to five acres (20,000 sq. m) per family. Animals were limited because of the lack of grazing pastures in the lower valley. The goats, sheep, and Yaks were moved to the higher mountains in summer in search of the sparse vegetation. The herdsmen had an excess of milk while the people in the valley suffered a shortage. This is the reason summer visitors to Hunza see a people eating a low-fat, near-vegetarian diet. The winter diet was vastly different.

Alexander the Great is ALBANIAN?

There are few places where Alexander the Great's influence has not been felt His vast empire spread from the Atlantic shores of Spain to the plains of India His example has been admired and followed for generations to come, and his legacy has been deeply felt by the entire world It is said that Julius Caesar himself began to weep as he stood under the shadow of a statue of Alexander the Great, for Alexander had conquered half the world by 19, and Caesar not even made a name for himself by that age And how was he Albanian in any way? Well, first of all Alexander was son of Philip II and Olympia Olympia, was the princess of Epirus, a province in Northern Greece, considered to be modern day Albania, and an ancient territory of Albanian tribes This relation of Alexander having Albanian blood is considered somewhat feasible and acceptable by the history books, but we want to stretch out the enigma of Alexander Initially there is the question of where and to what people Alexander belonged to It is known that Alexander the Great, was really Alexander of Macedon, and the current flag of Macedonia is the ancient sun flag of Alexander's army This seems reasonable, but what really were the "Macedon" people As stated in the Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia, "the Slavs, occupied much of the area Balkans by the 6th century AD", so it cannot be possible for the now largely Slavic Macedonia to be a descendant from Alexander the Great Slavic tribes did not come into the region of Northern Greece until well after Alexander's death, which leaves only two people left, the Albanians and the Greeks It is important tot note that the history books have not labeled Alexander Greek, and therefore he can only be Albanian. Albanian tribes are the earliest known to occupy northern Greece, and that allows Alexander only one nationality Alexander did not have Albanian blood, he was an Albanian To Albanians this fact seems very clear, for we have named our currency lek, after Leka I Madh The Barbaric war style of the Illyrians was deeply rooted in Alexander's spirit, which is good reason for his expertise as a general and a conqueror More proof of Alexander's Albanian ancestry would have to be the close relations he had with the King of the Illyrians, practically a man of his own kin There is an ancient legend that the Illyrian king gave Alexander a large, beastly, dog to commemorate his achievements The beast was so ferocious, Alexander decided to make it hunt bears The dog showed no interest in this endeavor and lay lazily without moving This angered Alexander and he had the dog killed When the king of the Illyrians heard of this he sent him another dog, this time with a message of "not wasting the dog's time with small things" This time Alexander had the dog fight a lion, which the dog quickly broke the back of, and then an Elephant, who the dog forced off a cliff The extensive diplomacy between Alexander and the Illyrians only suggests that Alexander was an Albanian himself Also, there is the conquered territory of Alexander When looking at a map of his advances, oddly enough Illirium and Northern Greece is not touched by his armies Yet, the Illyrian and Northern Greek tribes did not have armies capable of facing the Great Alexander But Alexander considered them as one, they were all Albanian Alexander could not possibly conquer his own land That is why this area remained untouched Accepting Alexander's Albanian ancestry opens a vast world of possibilities There is of course the long Ptolemy dynasty of Egypt that followed after Alexander's death, started by one of Alexander's generals and childhood friend Accepting Alexander as an Albanian, would mean accepting a big part of Egypt's history to be determined by an Albanian dynasty, that of Ptolemy Alexander's genius and accomplishments opened a great chapter in the history of Albania A chapter that has never been forgotten -----------
