modern state ofAfghanistan, founded only in 1747. The northern highlanders call themselves Pakhtuns, while the southern highlanders are known as Pashtuns.

Israelite origin and the result came positive. It was found that 650 out of the 1,500 members had dna similar to genetic dna found in Jews. That's less than half of the members were connected to Jews. The Ydna haplogroup G2C has been found in 7% of Ashkenazi Jews and in the Pashtuns. The research shows a relationship between Afghan (Pashtun) and Jewish (Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Mizrahi) DNA and also that Afghan DNA is 2nd closest (68.1) to Ashkenazi DNA after Irani and Iraq Jews (67.9). Rare genetic disease shows a common origin. Inclusion body myopathy has been found among Afghans (Pashtuns), Iranian Jews and Ashkenazis. This indicates a common founder mutation. This is a disease in which muscular weakness is a rare genetic disorder which is localized to Jewish populations. Most known patients are Iranian Jews, with a few originating from Pashtuns of Afghanistan. The high frequency is due to a founder mutation (GNE, M712T) from Nature Genet 29:83-87, 2001. Another genetic disease common to both Pashtuns and Jews is the disease Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase deficiency. "G6PDH is common to Jews from Kurdistan, Iraq, Iran, Yemen and in Afghans/Pashtuns." Scientists can draw inferences about Afghan DNA in general from this. (

historians, viz., Qutb Khan, Sarmast Khan Abdali, Hamza Khan, Umar Khan Kakarr and Zarif Khan, to the Afghan/Pashtun/Pathan territories in AH 1030/1621 CE to investigate the descent of Afghans. This eventually led to the compilation of Mirat-al-Afghani, according to which Afghans/Pashtuns/Pathans are Israelites. According to Mirat-al-Afghani, after their expulsion from their native land of Israel by Bakhtnasr (Nebuchadnezzar), they took refuge in Kohistan-e-Ghor and Koh-e-Firozah, and were later converted to Islam by Khalid-ibn-al-Waleed, who was of the same racial stock as the Afghans. He is said to have invited his fellow Afghans/Pashtuns/Pathans to Arabia to embrace Islam. Led by Qais/Kais, the Afghans reached Arabia and after prolonged deliberations ultimately accepted Islam. Kais/Qais married Khalid’s daughter Sara, and fathered three sons from her – Sarban, Ghorghusht and Baitan. Numerous accounts forwarded by Afghan historians tend to favour this theory. Hafiz Rahmat Khan has presented genealogies showing descent from Talut – a prominent figure in the annals of Bani Israil (Children of Israel) in his Khulasat ul-Ansab.
1770:
Neamatullah. During a discussion at the Mughal emperor Jahangir’s court about the origins of the Afghans, the Persian ambassador amused the monarch by presenting the following account to support the contention that the Pashtuns/Pathans were descended from devils: Books of authority recounted that King Zuhak, hearing of a race of beautiful women that lived in far off western countries, sent an army thither, which was defeated by the beautiful women, but afterwards, a stronger expedition being sent under Nariman, they were reduced to sue for peace and gave in tribute a thousand virgins. When, on its return march, the army was one night encamped close to a wild mountainous country, there suddenly came down upon it a phantom, smote and scattered the troops in all directions, and then, in that one night, ravished all the thousand virgins. In due course of time all became pregnant, and when Zuhak learnt this, he gave orders that the women should be kept in the remote deserts and plains lest the unnatural offspring should breed strife and tumult in the cities. This offspring was the race of the Afghans.

theory of Pashtun descent from the Ten Lost Tribes is from the 19th century. This statement contradicts the citations later in the article which cite historical texts dating back hundreds of years before the 19th century. 3) The introduction dicounts the theory by saying that Pashtuns want to gain status by claiming Semetic origin. First, there is no proof of this assertion. Second, it doesn't make sense, since in a Moslem country, claiming descent from Jews would actually reduce a person's social status. This is actually a reason to give credence to the theory, since Moslems have every reason to deny connections with Jews. If they claim a connection despite that, then there is good reason to take the claim seriously. 4) The introduction seems to assert that some Moslems support this theory. Perhaps this was true decades ago, but today, perhaps because of political reasons there doesn't seem to be a single Moslem who is willing to publically accept this theory (with the exception of the Indian scholar quoted at the end of the article).

they grew great in Israel, where they were favourites of Daud (David) and Sulaiman (Solomon); and where the latter assigned them to guard the temple from the assaults of jealous demons. To aid them in this task, Sulaiman (Solomon), master of djins and afreets, taught the Afghans/Pashtuns/Pathans the language of hell. At this time there appeared a wicked magician, Bukht-ud-Nasir (Nebuchadnezzar), who scattered the tribes of Israel and sent the Afghans, as the most obstreperous, far to the east, to the land of Sham or Syria. From there they migrated to the mountains of Ghor in western Afghanistan, and settled down, adhering to monotheism, although surrounded by countless idolaters and polytheists. As the legend goes, in the time of Muhammad, an Afghan/Pashtun/Pathan, Qais or Kish, visited Meccaand embraced Islam, receiving the name Abdul Rasheed. He returned to Afghanistan to convert his people, and all the Pashtuns/Pathans/Afghans are the progeny of his two sons, Sarban and Ghurghusht, and daughter Bibi Matto.

to Jews or any other middle eastern people and more related to their neighbours. Pashtuns also happen to be the highest carriers of the R1a halpogroup, which is indo-european and show relation to one another from tribe to tribe. My problem is, why should this article still exist if it has been proven wrong by history and genetic studies? I feel like it should be deleted so it doesn't cause confusion among readers or be used by people with an agenda or a negative motive to prove a point. I find this article more ridiculous than the "Theory of Pashtuns descent from Rajputs" which has no historical proof also and is propagated by one group of peoples opinions. Does anyone else agree?

Burhanpur, it gives an account of the Afghans, particularly the Lodis and the Surs. Naematullah writes: …Khaled sent a letter to the Afghans who had settled in the mountainous countries around Ghor ever since the time of the expulsion of the Israelites by Bokhtnasser, and informed them of the appearance of the last of the Prophets. When this letter reached them, several of their chiefs departed fromMedina; the mightiest of them, and of the Afghan people, was Kais, whose pedigree ascends in a series of thirty-seven degrees to Talut, of forty-five to Ibrahim…

peculiar to itself and certainly not Semitic either and its morphological and syntactic features are largely Iranic. It is a fact that Pashto has little to no similarity with Hebrew or any other Semitic language and this theory fails to explicate this fatal discrepancy. If Pashtuns as a people were THE lost tribe then surely their language was originally Semitic and they should've preserved some of it but there is no Semitic in Pashto except a borrowed script from Arabic and some borrowed religious terms from Arabic.

cites. It shows R1a as being more common amongst Pathans than any of the other Y haplogroups described in this article as being most common. Whoever has been writing this material is apparently interested in haplogroup G, but this haplogroup is not so common amongst Jews, and has a distribution which is quite difficult to describe in any simple way. It is scattered all over Europe, and appear to have been very common amongst the first wave of Neolithic farmers there. It is also common in the Caucasus.--
1705:. Too much of this article is trying to make an argument for the 'theory' (really a hypothesis, not a theory). That's inappropriate. Sources need to specifically mention Pashtuns and Israelites, and indeed if we don't change the lead (and I think this is about 'Lost tribes', they have to mention Lost Tribes. That's the way we work, that's basic policy. I've deleted some stuff for this reason and will probably delete more. It's also obvious some sources have been misrepresented. 592: 571: 1825:
expression of his appreciation, Muhammad showered gifts upon them and predicted that they would attain even greater victories. He decreed that the chief of the tribe would always be known as Malik and conferred the title of Patan upon Qais (Kish). Patan is a Syriac word meaning rudder. Since the newly converted Qais was a guide to his people, like the rudder of a ship, he was awarded this title. And since then, his descendants have been called Pathan.

East. They settled down in Turan in the north-west of Iran, where they were soon joined by their brethren exiled by King Talut. All of them established themselves in Pasht. Pasht is identified with Parthia, which later came to be known as Tabaristan. Their settling down in Pasht earned them the name Pashtin followed by Pashtun, and Pashtaneh.

The term "theory" is pretty broad, what do you mean when you say that they are not theories? Are you using a particular definition of theory? Khalil and Iqbal definitely called them theories. Do you mean that they are not all "scientific theories", that is, "hypotheses confirmed by observation"? Some

As we all know, this is an old wives tale propagated by the Mughals in the past on they're theories on the Pashtun people. However this was all in the past, where there no dna tests of any sort and such stories were believable. DNA studies today show that Pashtuns show absolutely NO genetic relations

Its more appropriate to use Afghan in wiki articles as this is what they are known by in english.

Some Afghans/Pashtuns/Pathans believe that they descended from Bibi Qatoora, wife of Hazrat Ibrahim (Abraham). According to them, after the death of Bibi Sara, Ibrahim married Bibi Qatoora, from whom he had six sons. After distributing all his possessions among his sons, Ibrahim sent them towards the

Another theory is that whenever people asked the Pathans/Pashtuns/Afghans about their nationality, they replied in Hebrew phasq or phasht. Phasq means “to liberate”, “to make free”, “to split”, while phasht means “to spread”. The word Pashtun seems to have been derived from this very word.

He further records that in 622 CE during the prophet Muhammad’s lifetime, his military chief Khalid ibn-al-Waleed converted about half a dozen chiefs of the Jewish tribes to Islam.
