That Alexander the Great might have been responsible for creating Shangri-La

Source: https://www.ancient-origins.net/history/shangri-la-hunza-valley-pakistan-0010765

Its fascinating that the residents of Hunza valley in Pakistan speak a language which is a combination of Macedonian and Hellenistic Persian.

There is definitive evidence that Alexander the Great was in the area around the time in question, genetic DNA evidence has revealed evidence that there was Middle Eastern or European DNA introduced into the population around the same time as Alexander was there.

The legends of his generals marrying local women could therefore be true.

Of the many theories I have read over the years from the existence of Shangri-La to is location, to where it originated, this is the first news I have read that ties it all together with Alexander the Great

Wow Alexander the Great one of the great emperor.
