I'll take a stab at it. I'm just translating phonetically:

Close, beamuzem is "let's look at" but it sounds like museum. It's "Let's Look at the Alphabet with Illustrations"

Yeah, I don't know what zob means. I'm guessing rpg or something. They also call them 'teer' which is literally arrow, but it stands in for missile or any projectile I think.

Here's a few more:



automobile


padagan, barracks



tank...it looks like a t-34?


jabeh? I don't know what this means. I think assault/attack but there's another, hamleh, for that.


shamsheer, sword



mine, which is what you're supposed to step on to be a martyr.


vadah, I think it's embrace?



revolver, literally 'seven shooter'. when i first posted this, someone pointed out that this is one of the very few and obscure automatic revolvers.

Wow, reminds me a lot of the megamalls in Istanbul. They have been popping up like mad in the past 10 years. Visited this one last summer, called Istinye Park. It's surrounded by a loving shanty town obscured from view by the highway. Cost $250m to build.

i've read up on a few of the weirder ethnic minorities around there and a few claim to be descended from greeks, but it's usually debunked, the blue eyes coming from an older indo-european stock

am i right, or is there documented evidence for descendants of alexander's settler armies?

i've heard kashmiris have a claim to this as it was the furthest extent of alexander's army (sort of)...
