Attan originated as a traditional dance from the
Pashtun tribes, who were primarily populated in
Afghanistan and Pakistan. They descended and
reigned there as the dominant Ethnolinguistic group
for about 300 years. Hence, Attan, their original folk
dance, was considered a very important form of art by
the Afghans and they started to perform it during
wars, rituals, and celebrations. However, it further got
modified into a Muslim dance of the soldiers, as it
presumably allowed the dancers to get closer to 'God'
before they advanced on their missions. In addition to
the traces of this origin, there is also a Greek myth
associated with Attan. According to the Greeks,
Athena was born out of Zeus's head with a sword in
dandaakiald in thaatbar Thaans
