There are various explanations regarding the history of Attan. One version puts its roots in Zoroastrianism; as this dance was supposed to take the early Zoroastrians into a trance like state. Another version ascribes the Attan to Alexandar’s invasion of modern day Afghanistan.Thus tying Attan to the ancient “Pyrrhic Dance”, a war dance that was part of military training in both Athens as well as Sparta.For the Love of ATTAN | I Opyne
