Persian site: http://www.chn.ir/shownews.asp?no=21200 - http://www.chn.ir/shownews.asp?no=21200 It says in Darreh-Shahr region of Elam province in Iran, there are still some people of three villages who live in the caves like ancient cavemen, the ethnicity and language of these people are still unkown and no one knows how long they are living in this region, apparently their costume (especially about women) which is made with the skin of the hunted animals, has become a big problem for Mullahs, so they are being forced to leave their caves and live in the cities and villages! -------------

 Damn, they've obviously been there for thousands of years. Now they're forced to leave their home and lifestyle. I don't know how I'd take that.

What do they look like? I have read some nonsense on pro African sites that Elamites and other advanced pre IE Iranians were black. ------------- |

I have no picture but it is certainly reliable because the source is Iranian Cultural Heritage News Agency.

In Turkey you have the Kusköy, the villagers can talk Turkish but they also communicate with kind of whistle they make. ------------- OUT OF LIMIT |

Just curious how many people in total we are talking about... I'll assume that these natives have no pronounced religion - or is that incorrect? ------------- http://www.forums.internationalhockey.net/index.php?/index.php?referrerid=8 - International Hockey Forums |

I know Turkish geography and history pretty well, but I never heard of the Kusköy. I'd appreciate it if you explain a little bit about them for me, thanks. |

I dont know if you watch this program on TRT called Gezelim
Gorelim? A while back they showed that village. It was
amazing, they could communicate by whistling not just simple
instructions but also have conversations by whistling. I cant
remember exactly what province of Turkey but im sure it was the North
East somewhere.
