That's the place, I think. Don't remember the name, but the province with Sulek.

Edit: So slow...

well isnt it the Pamir regions of Tajikstan and Afghanistan? I saw a video on Youtube about the people who lived there. Most of them were forced into Islam in the 19th century. They live isolated, and claim ancestry to the old Iranian nomad tribes of EB era. Here is a video which shows some of them. The images are out of focus in the begining, but become focused after a while.

What would they have been pre-islam ? Animists ? Zoroastrians ? Buddhists ?

Yuezhi where driven out of the basin by Xiongnu, who are considerd to be proto Mongolians, so i would assume that their religion was some form of Shamanic.
