Zaman of the Amb State Guard, Darband, 1941.
Amb was known as Embolina during Greco-Bactrian rule two millennia ago, and was a princely state ruled by a Turco-Mongol family called Tanoli - and had a sizeable Karlugh Turk population; it contains several locations with Turkic related place names such as Tarnawa, Tarnawai, and Tanawal.....and Haplogroup Q1b has been detected here in the royal family of an earlier Turkic stock, namely the Swati-Jehangiris, who ruled the adjacent Swat principality from about 1009 AD to 1519 AD. This suggests an Ashina origin for the Swatis.....and they probably came here with the first Muslim Turks, the Seljuks, as their tradition states.
The later Karlugh arrivals in the area were in around c.1400 AD, with the Turkic conqueror and descendant of Genghis Khan,Tamerlane and his armies - and they gave this region its present name of Hazara. This occurred just after the great Khazar empire had been decimated first by the Mongols and then dispersed by the Bubonic Plague.
So, we may conclude that those Karlugh invasions could well have included Khazars too, who brought the Khazar place names to the area, as well as the murky yet strangely lingering tradition of Jewish origins for certain Pashtun tribes. They certainly came from the same areas. The name Hazara is derived from the Persian word "hazar", meaning one thousand, which was the number of soldiers in the basic legion or unit of Gengis Khan's Mongol armies; the term was later kept in use by all the diverse Turkic successors of the Mongols, among whom both Tamerlane and the later Tanolis figured, yet a full century lay between these two.
