head wrap

I had hit my head recently, and the talk turned to wrapping head wounds with toilet paper.

These guys are at the Afghan peace conference. Talk about head wraps.

Many different groups or dynasties have ruled the Afghani area. They have fun sounding names:
Greco-Bactrians, Kushans, Indo-Sassanids, Kabul Shahis, Saffarids, Samanids, Ghaznavids, Ghurids, Kartids, Timurids, Mughals, and finally the Hotaki and Durrani (off wiki-awesome-pedia).

These are the current tribes:

Pashtun
Tajik (Farsiwan, and Qezelbash)
Hazara
Uzbek
Aimak
Turkmen
Baloch

I think the two guys with the gold headwraps are Qezelbash of the Ghaznavids. (I'm making this up, I have no idea, I just like the names.)
