The need to fit *everything* into "mysterious old dead people" in pop archaeology is ridiculous.

Genetic studies show that Sogdian communities that were installed in Northern China originally came from Sogdiana and intermingled with Northern Chinese locals.

5/? You still couldn’t eat the fruit, but you could eat the pits – the nuts. Almonds were easy to grow and pick and you don’t have to cook them, and they had a lot of fat and protein, so they quickly became very popular even as far east as Iran and Sogdiana (modern Pakistan and Afghanistan).
