The Pashtuns claim that they are descended from Malik Talut (King Saul) ; that Malik Talut had two sons, Berkia and Ermia, that the son of Berkhia was called Afghan, from whom are descended the Afghans. Their traditions are however not supported by Biblical genealogies which do not mention any such sons of Saul.

The Pashtuns claim that they are descended from Malik Talut (King Saul) ; that Malik Talut had two sons, Berkia and Ermia, that the son of Berkhia was called Afghan, from whom are descended the Afghans. Their traditions are however not supported by Biblical genealogies which do not mention any such sons of Saul.

If you are interested in DNA test results, please see here [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF3kfjiM-S8 ] In the description, I have added all the Pashtun results I found on YT. Bani Israel theory is laid to waste by these.
ReplyDeleteThings would be different if Scythians were Bani Israel but that theory seems weak.
