A Quick Summary Of Vietnamese History Over 4000 Years
Vietnam's history spans 4,000 years, with records originating from ancient Vietnamese texts dating back to 2879 BC. This period includes the Spring and Autumn, as well as the Warring States periods, during which the ancient Vietnamese faced pressures from Northern China and the So Tan Kingdoms. These external forces led to the gradual loss of territory by Vietnamese tribes, with some being assimilated into Chinese culture. The alliance of the Bach Viet tribes eventually disintegrated, leading to the establishment of the Van Lang Kingdom by the Hung kings in 257 BC. An Duong Vuong, the leader of the Au Viet tribe, founded this kingdom, with Co Loa as its capital.

Kalasha Desh (the three Kalash valleys) is made up of two distinct cultural areas, the valleys of Rumbur and Bumburet forming one, and Birir Valley the other; Birir Valley being the more traditional of the two.The Kalash were ruled by the Mehtar of Chitral from the 18th century onward. They have enjoyed a cordial relationship with the major ethnic group of Chitral, the Kho who are Sunni and Ismaili Muslims. The multi-ethnic and multi-religious State of Chitral ensured that the Kalash were able to live in peace and harmony and practice their culture and religion. The Kalasha were protected by the Chitralis from Afghan Raids, who also generally did not allow missionaries in Kalash. They allowed for the Kalasha to look after their matters themselves.[77] The Nuristani, their neighbours in the region of former Kafiristan west of the border, were converted, on pain of death, to Islam by Amir Abdur-Rahman of Afghanistan in the 1890s and their land was renamedThe Kalash are considered to be an indigenous people of Asia, with their ancestors migrating to Afghanistan from a distant place in South Asia which the Kalash call "Tsiyam" in their folk songs and epics.[9] This site is said to be near Jalalabad and Lughman according to Morgenstierne.[73]
