[Some Myths]
Afghanistan being the graveyard of empires:

This 'quote' was first used by Americans to give Afghanistan more a barbaric image. After Afghans successfully defeated the British soldiers, a lone survivor reached the gates of Jalalabad. (See image)...
... Afghanistan served as the bread basket of central asia in ancient times. There were several civilisation/cultures that rose from the land what is now Afghanistan.
Persian(Dari variety of parsi) is spoken more than Pashto:

There was a research a while ago about the linguistics in Afghanistan. The research however was very bad. They added local non persian Badakhshani languages as Persian aswell as Uzbek language...
... it however true that majority of Afghans understand persian but the thing is that the areas where persian is spoken inside the Pashtun lands, are their second language. Majority of Pashtuns wether in cities or country side are bilingual. Nuristani for example....
... are also bilingual some speak Pashto as their second language or Persian.
Pashtuns are from Koh e Suleman:

Pashtuns to start with are eastern iranic people and proto Pashtuns before they came to our modern lands were in central Asia. So this already debunks the bias theory...
... Pashtuns are generally very close to the Saka/Scythian nomadic people who practiced ancient nomadic warrior culture. Both genetically and culturally Pashtuns are very close to the Saka/Scythian people. A tribe name that may refer to these people is Sakzai.
Pashto is a Jinn language:

Not even in a million year this theory will get approved by scholars. This is a totally made up story that has no evidence. Ot has link between the next myth Bani Israel...
... Bani Israel is a mythical unconfirmed theory made by the Mughal court which is everything except the origins of Pashtuns. If we consider that there was a legit dude named Afghana, there should have been an Hebrew reference to this, which ofc there is non.
Tajiks came from Tajikistan:

This is the most absurd thing ever said. The name Tajikstan is very recent. Tajiks have been living together with Pashtuns and other ethnicities for millennias.
Hazara genocides didn't happen:

Hazara people in Afghanistan are unfortunately very neglected and treated very bad. Continuously they have been murdered by the Emir of Afghanistan and his men. (Which I refer to as CEO of Gul khans). But after the Emir was killed this did...
... not stop. This matter got even worse after Taliban came into power and post-Taliban regime. The main problem is according to these people is that they are Shi'ite muslims which they consider as Kufar(infidels). And also a racial problem is that they are racial discriminated..
... for their East Asian phenotype.
This was part 1 will do part two tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
