According to Pashtun folklore, sleep paralysis may result from an attempt at strangulation by a kind of malevolent ghost called a "khapasa". It would *like* to kill the person, but, lacking thumbs, can't strangle them effectively and just ends up sitting on their chest.#Folklore

@ZuluCaptain1 @_Jixaw Sorry, no "Compilation of Chespin Swearing in Pokémon XY&Z" today. But as compensation, I give you Arabic Chespin. Someday, I will give you Persian Chespin or Pashtun Chespin.

Scythians were an ancient nomadic community, often referred to as the ‘Land Vikings’. They spoke an Eastern Iranian language and are theorised by some as the ancestor ethnicity of the Pashtuns and the Wakhi people. Here are some of their ancient weapons dating back 2000+ years.
While working on the topic of whether Pashtuns are Israelites I came across some weird but interesting community and content online led by some Israelis.
