In keeping with my trends...

Since I have been posting daily, I suppose I will make a post today. Not much happened.

There has been a question on a piece of homework that has been bugging me, though.

Beyond that, it was a good day. I read an interesting article called "Quest for Alexander's Lost Tribe," about how Alexander the Great left groups of his soldiers around. For instance, there is a group of them in this secluded valley in Pakistan, that look European in comparison to the rest of Pakistan's citizenry.

When you consider how many options that gives for cultures and such, such as how these people worship variants of the Greek gods, it makes you think and stuff about the past and how it works out. Odd how the world works out, I suppose.




Those two pictures are of a fort in a valley that these people inhabit. In the first, you can see the fort around the dead middle of the picture, near the foot of that hill. The fort is 700 years old, and I'm guessing the view from it would be keen.

If I ever go to Pakistan one day, I think I'd have to take a detour that-a-ways to satisfy my curiosity.
