Who Was Akhund Salaak?
The Untold Story of Akhund Salaak
Unveiling the Mystery: Who Was Akhund Salaak?

The practice of writing history has existed for centuries.
In the Stone Age, when writing did not exist, people learned about past events through prophets. You might have heard of the Dead Sea fossils, which are thought to be around 5 million years old. This lake is one of the oldest landforms on Earth, formed by the shifting of the Rift Valley.
Human history in written form began approximately 5,000 years ago. This estimate comes from the discovery of ancient fossils and the first writing systems. The earliest known writing system, cuneiform, was developed by the Sumerians of Mesopotamia around 3100 BC, marking the beginning of recorded history.
My aim in sharing this background is to highlight that humans started preserving records thousands of years ago. Since then, civilizations have risen and fallen, leaving behind countless events that shaped the world. Yet, even after centuries, these records survive, offering us insights into past events.
With this in mind, how is it possible that a brilliant thinker and scholar, a respected and well-educated figure,(Akhund Salaak) has been so poorly documented by the historians of their era? Or maybe Akhund Salaak never authored any written works.
How is it that, even a century after their passing, their descendants have not written an authoritative account of their life? Questions remain unanswered:
Who was the Akhund? Where did they come from? What was their native language? Did they have siblings?
Who was Akhund Salaak? Did the title "Akhund" truly signify a professor during that time?
Coming soon.
