"The closest population to Greeks are Italians

and Tuscans. The low genetic distance between Greeks and S. Italians ( the lowest in the fst table

-0.0001 fst) suggests once again that Southern

Italians are little more than latin speaking Greeks."

[HaggisMacfee]

[Luca Cavalli-Sforza et al, 'Genes, Peoples, and languages']

"The ancient Greek genetic signature

is clearly detectable in the modern

Greeks of today"

[HaggisMacfee]

[Francalacci P, Morelli L, Underhill P A,

Lillie A S, Passarino G, Uselli A, (2009)]

"A study of chromosomal variation showed that the

modern Greeks and Southern Italians have a common

prehistoric genetic history and also to a greater

extent a Historic one, the Southern Italians are

largely Greek in origin."

[KaIanari]

Who cares what alexander was cause he was just simply a genius and bad ass

[HaggisMacfee]

[David Sacks (1995) 'A Dictionary of the Ancient

Greek World', Oxford University]

"Historians refer to this enlarged Greek society

as the Hellenistic world. At the start of his reign,

the 20 year old Alexander was the crowned King of

only Macedon - a Crude Greek nation of

mainland Greece. His mother Olympias

came from the ruling clan of the north-western

Greek region of Epirus."

[makedon29]

What nonsense is this world of historians that Alexander is Grecian? At the time when he was born in Greece did not exist as a state where it is concluded that the Grecian? At that time, Pella is where Alexander was born in Macedonia there is no sense that he was a Grecian.

[HaggisMacfee]

@makedon29 In what sense weren't the Ancient Macedonians and Alexander Greek?? Historians unanimously consider the Ancient Macedonians as a Greek people,a people of Greek origin, of Greek stock, speaking a Greek language, with Greek place names, worshipping Greek gods, with Greek names of the months,and Greek personal names. Historians from the prestigious Universities of Princeton, Harvard and Yale to Oxford and Cambridge all consider the ancient Macedonians as Greeks

[HaggisMacfee]

@makedon2

You've "never heard of any other country

at war to succumb their own people" ??

What was the American Civil war?

Didn't the Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu

conquer all of Japan? etc etc.

It seems you don't have much knowledge of History.

[makedon29]

At that time Greece was to Athens that has all the cards from former world world history, why they called Alexander's father Philip 2 of Macedon (Philip the Barbarian)at the time when Greece was not it was an advanced state with its own alphabet and culture as the government could put barbarian again we witness the Greek meaning nonsense and why Fillip conquered them if they were same nation. I have never heard of any other country at war and succumb to their own people.

[makedon29]

I also have read the research of the Institute of Genetics in Barcelona (Spain) that today's Macedonians have no points of contact with the Greeks that they are totally different people and nation.The same was confirmed by the Swiss Institute in 2011.What the Greeks say that they are originating from a sub-Saharan tribes that moved into the southern part of modern Greece and stretched to Athens at this time.

[HaggisMacfee]

@makedon29 The Genetics paper by Villena(Spain) you're quoting was exposed as a complete sham by top geneticists. The paper was subsequently removed, binned and trashed. IGenea the other company you mention has been criticised by other experts as not very accurate, having a large margin of error and with significant blindspots.One scientist want as far as saying he had "rarely seen such a pack of bullshit about Y-DNA as on iGenea's website. Stick with Geneticist Luca Cavalli-Sforza

[makedon29]

Today northern Greece won the San Stefano Treaty of 100 years ago when Russia England France compulsion divided Macedonia. "Great liberators" in that time as advocated by then dropped the biggest occupiers of the Macedonian State (Let's honor them democracy) along with their spoiled child that Greece today is a thorn in the eye and in modern Europe.Helping a country to destroy a nation and a state do not know what can be called DEMOCRACY let it becoming wedged in their ass such a democracy.

[makedon29]

And today we have witnessed them democracy when they want to remove language and identity of a small country.Any tribute to Europe and help to Greece in that. Macedonia is eternal and will forever remain like it or not existed since the world there will be more so. God is great and will punish all who oppose Macedonia and Macedonian nation,do not forget Macedonia is still a Bible land unlike Greece which is not mentioned anywhere.

[TheMultiDanger]

Alexander is Macedonians ! By The Way Greeks Can Suck My Dick ! :)

[Leoni1]

Hahahah..dunm Skopjes....Bulgarian gypsies...believe anything they hear..

Greek ...ALWAYS was he.... HIS GIFT TO THE WORLD...THE SPREAD OF HELLENISM!!! Game over!!!!

[HaggisMacfee]

@saturni11

Actually you're wrong, HELLENE is what the Greeks

called themselves. GREEK is what the Romans called

the Hellenes. In the same way Scotland is what the

Scottish people call themselves, Caledonia is what the

Romans called Scotland.

SCOTLAND = CALEDONIA

GREECE = HELLAS.

[saturni11]

@HaggisMacfee You are wrong . Romans took the name of an analphabet tribe in south balcans and called by this name all south of balcans hellenic tribes mostly. Today greeks have nothing to do with ancient hellenic but this is a different story and stop making propaganda about ancient macedonia. There is no ancient writer who called macedonia or epirus part of hellens. They write about this tribes as not hellenic. I can publish here , strabo , thucydites , herodotos, platon if you want.

[HaggisMacfee]

@saturni11

Your talking bollocks now. HELLENES is what the Greeks

called themselves.GREEK is what the Italic tribes called

the Greeks, and the name GREEK stuck. Modern Greeks are

genetically the same people as Southern Italians and

Tuscans [Tian et al, Francalacci et al,Cavalli-Sforza et al]

We know Southern Italians are descendants of ancient Greeks

therefore modern Greeks are also descendants of ancient Greeks.

(Strabo) "And of course Macedonia is a part of Greece".

[saturni11]

@HaggisMacfee Just so you know , south italian people are mostly descendent of illyrians tribe ( messapi and japigi ) and etruschi and this is what i was saying before abot ancient hellens and toady greeks. Ancient hellenic were a mix between pellasgians ( the very first inhabitant of balcans ) and doric tribes. Today greeks god knows what they are , speaking genetically ,about language and costums.

[HaggisMacfee]

@saturni11 You lack in a knowledge of population migration and History. Southern Italians are desendants of Ancient Greeks, since Doric Greeks had heavily colonised Southern Italy (and Sicily). this is why they still speak a dialect of Greek in southern Italy called Griko. Todays modern Greeks are genetically the same people as Southern Italians. Hellene is what the Greeks call themselves, 'Greek' is the name the Italic tribes gave to the Hellenes. And the name has stuck.

[HaggisMacfee]

@saturni

suggest you read up on MAGNA GRAECIA

[HaggisMacfee]

@saturni

Polybius Greek Historian, 2nd Century BC describes

macedonians and Southern Greeks as 'Omophylos'

Omophylos = of the same race.

Livy, Roman Historian "Aetolians, Macedonians,

and Akarnanians are men of the same speech"

that is .......Greek.

[HaggisMacfee]

@saturni

[Eugene Borza, Emeritus professor,

Princeton University(1995)'Makedonika']

"The 'Highlanders' or Makedones of the

mountainous regions of Macedonia are derived

from north-western GREEK STOCK.

They were akin both to those who at an

earlier time may have migrated south to

become the Historical Dorians."

[HaggisMacfee]

@saturni

[Professor Donald Kagan, Yale University (USA)]

"We know the acient Macedonians were

fundamentally Greeks, that is to say they

were Greek speakers, and ethnically they were Greek."

[HaggisMacfee]

@saturni11 Wrong again, Alexander and the ancient Macedonians were speakers of PROTO-GREEK. The Macedonians were of GREEK STOCK and originated from the same population pool that produced other Greek people. Macedonians spoke a hybrid Aeolic / Doric Greek dialect of the north-western Greek language. [Encyclopadia Britannica] "Macedonia is not only considered the birthplace of the Greek race but also of the twelve Greek gods."

[saturni11]

And stop beeing confused. Ancient world was dominated by hellenic culture ( not greek , its not the same thing ), but this does not mean that everybody in ancient world was hellenic. In fact alexander the great was from ancient macedonia and epirus , both speaking branches of thraco-illyrian. Regards

[saturni11]

Try to read some story. He spoke thraco-illyrian language , the old macedonia language. Greeks called macedonian " the barbarian " ( thucidides ) , so not greek.

[HaggisMacfee]

In other words, put simply, the ancient Macedonians

spoke Attic or Koine Greek - the lingua franca of the

Greek world. But the NATIVE language of Alexander the

great and the ancient Macedonians was a hybrid

Aeolic/Doric Greek dialect of the north-western Greek

language. This was later modified by Philip to the

lingua franca of the Greek world - ' Koine'.

Having said this, all Greek tribes had their

native Greek dialects.

[HaggisMacfee]

"Macedonia is not only considered the birthplace

of the Greek race, but also of the twelve Greek gods.]

ALEXANDER THE GREAT = GREEK

[HaggisMacfee]

[Ulrich Wilcken, Historian / Papyrologist,

[ancient Macedonians] were a Greek race

and akin to the Dorians."

[Ernst Badian]

"We have now become accustomed to

regarding the ancient Macedonians

as northern Greeks."

[TheMsMkd]

@HaggisMacfee How on earth can be Greeks when Greece did not even exist during that time. What existed were the City States that Alexander Makedonski destroyed.

[HaggisMacfee]

@TheMsMkd Put it simply, in the region occupied by present day modern Greece you had a loose confederation of city states and Kingdoms, these tribes were connected by the fact that they were ALL of Greek stock, and were native Greek speakers, that is, they all spoke PROTO-GREEK. These ethnic Greek tribes were DORIANS (Spartans, Macedonians, Epirotes, Aetolians, Locrians etc) IONIANS (Athenians, Euobeans etc) and AEOLIANS (Thessalians, Boeotians,etc)

[HaggisMacfee]

@TheMsMk Of course, ancient Greek tribes also lived in lands today occupied by Slavic peoples, such as the Southern part of FYROM, in which you find the Greek city of Heraklea,and also southern Bulgaria. I don't know who Alexander Makedonski is. Alexander the Great of course referred to himself as 'Megas Alexandros'. And Alexander the Great of course was the crowned Greek King of Macedon, a Crude Greek Kingdom that is found today in northern Greece.

[HaggisMacfee]

@TheMsMk As I said, it's pointless labouring over the point, according to the Scholars and archaeologists of the prestigious universities from Yale, Harvard, and Princeton to Oxford and Cambridge say the Ancient Macedonians of Alexander the Great were Greek, were native Greek speakers, had Greek place names, worshipped Greek gods, had Greek names of the months, and had Greek personal names. [Ref. Richard Stoneman, 'Alexander the Great', p.14]

"The highlanders or Makedones of the

mountainous regions of western Macedonia

are derived from north-western Greek stock".

[Ikaros1994]

You facking unhistorical bitches , ALEXANDER THE GREAT WAS GREEK!!!! Greece was divided in towns , like Athens was a town , they had the same anthem , the same language etc. Sparta was the same , Pella was the same etc. And when they were facing a common threat they united it and killed the enemies , like persians , barbarians etc. ALL WERE GREEKS BUT HAD THERE OWN RULES AND GREECE WAS SEPARATED IN MANY CITYS. UNHISTORICAL THIEVES , TRYING TO STEAL THE HISTORY OF GREECE THAT CHANGED THE WORLD!!

[hekoka]

if he ws greek why would they refer to him as "greek" or even "helene" but macedonian?!!!!!!

helenes regarded him as a barbarian and invader! greeksare fucking delusional lol

[Ikaros1994]

@hekoka Because GREEKS were divided in many towns , JUST LIKE USA ,so you are basically telling me that people that live in Texas are not Americans or people that live in Huston are not Americans , oh ok! Thanks for the info

[hekoka]

@Ikaros1994 in antiquity all the ancient peoples were related but they were not the same. Macedonians were lie Thraicians, illyrians, dacians or the celts. the "greek" identity didnt even exist back then. who gives a fuck anyway the man has been dead for over 2000 years. greeks have bigger probelms at the moment i.e. paying off ebts owed to europe! alexander the great wont be paying them!

[Ikaros1994]

@hekoka Man if you dont give a fuck dont post comments. But if you post do you research before you cunt! You dont know what you are saying , of course Greeks existed back then you fool!! Alexander the Great = Greek. Poor unhistorical babies.

[hekoka]

@Ikaros1994 i post comments when i can no longer resist the urge aroused by imbecilic comments such as the ones found beloow and above this post! I have done my research i.e. Droysen, Hoppsbaum, D'angely, Muller etc ring a bell to you? i think not. Napoleon said: history is a set of lies agreed upon! Greeks today set the lies and decide to agree among each other to deem them as facts then cry when the world refuses to swalow such pathetic propagandist lies. there is a reality outside Greece too

[HaggisMacfee]

@hekok

[John V A Fine, 'The Ancient Greeks, a Critical History'

Harvard University press, 1983, pp.605-608]

Modern Scholars, now almost unanimously

recognise them [ancient Macedonians] as GREEKS,

a branch of the Dorians and 'north-western' Greeks,

who after long residence in the Pindus region

migrated eastwards."

[Ikaros1994]

@hekoka YOU stupid living thing! Alexander the Great spoke GREEK , WAS TAUGHT IN GREEK BY THE AMAZING PHILOSOPHER ARISTOTLE!!! SO YEAH DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE POSTING STUPID THINGS!!

[TheMsMkd]

@Ikaros1994 you wish he was a Greek but the reality is he was Macedonian. If you speak French does that mean you are French, similarly if you speak Italian does that mean you are Italian?

Besides that he also spoke Macedonian.

[HaggisMacfee]

@TheMsMk I think you're confused, what scholars are saying is that the NATIVE language of the ancient Macedonians was Greek. That is, it was NOT a lingua franca. For example Welsh, Scottish Irish and Cornish people speak English, but their NATIVE language, is Brythonic, Goidelic, and Irish Gaelic. The Bretons speak French, but their NATIVE language is Brythonic. The ancient Macedonians spoke PROTO-GREEK 1500 years BC, so it was their NATIVE language.

[HaggisMacfee]

@TheMsMk

So Alexander the Great was Greek, his tribe,

the ancient Macedonians were Greek.

The name 'Macedonia' is a Greek name

meaning 'High-land' from the Greek word {macos}

meaning tall, high, long.

[Ikaros1994]

@TheMsMkd You faking unhistorical piece of shit!!! He spoke GREEK!!! Macedonian as a language DOES NOT EXIST you little child!!! You think you fuckheads will steal our history dont you??? HAHAHAHAHA!!!

[saturni11]

@hekoka Thank you for this coment. I completly agree. There were other people and other culture in ancient world , not only hellenic. ( ancient hellenic and today greeks are not the same thing ,in fact they are totally tow difrent things ) However , macedonian were thraco-illyrian and so was epirus. Of course they had a lot of influence of ancient hellenic culture wich was the dominated culture of ancient world. Regards

[HaggisMacfee]

@hekoka Yes, the Greek identity DID exist 'back then'. as Richard Stoneman says: "In favour of the Greek identity of the ancient Macedonians is what we know of their language, place names, names of the months, many of their personal names, especialy Royal names, which are GREEK IN ROOTS AND FORM." [Richard Stoneman, Exeter University, 'Alexander the great', p.14]

[HaggisMacfee]

@hekoka To Athenians, most other Greek tribes were regarded as barbarians. Macedonia was no different, as its form of government - a monarchy - was a left over from Mycenean times, and the monarchy was frowned upon by other Greeks. The Macedonians having stayed behind in the extreme north were unable to participate in the progressive civilisation of the tribes further south. So they were ostracised by the other southern Greeks. But they were a Greek race akin to the Dorians. Wilcken

try to understand at once he was Macedonian not greek......there are many facts about that question .... btw this video is not made by some Macedonian..that tell us that everybody knows that he was MACEDONIAN !!!! and btw there were helena and sparta(not grecee) ...he was fighting with them !!!

[Ikaros1994]

@zirat65 Macedonian = GREEK!!! Athenian = GREEK Spartan = GREEK , YOU GET THE POINT FUCKHEAD!?

[HaggisMacfee]

@zirat65 But all Historians, Scholars, Archaeologists, from the prestigious Greek departments of Universities from Princeton, Harvard, Yale to Oxford and Cambridge say the ancient Macedonians of Alexander the Great were a Greek tribe or people. They spoke Greek, had Greek names of the month, had Greek place names, worshipped Greek gods, and had Greek personal names, all of which were Greek in roots and form.All the Greek city states were fighting each other. Macedonians=Greek tribe

One of the most important opus of Demosthenes is his famous “Philipiki”- speeches against Philip II – the King of Macedonia: Philip is not Helen (Greek), He has nothing Helenian (Greek), He is barbarian who is coming from a land, for which one you can’t say anything nice, He is Macedon…..

alexander was a homsexual !!!

[Hypnotized81]

Ha,ha,ha. I love it when FYROMians try to prove their point by using documentaries that actually say that macedonians were greeks! ha ha ha ha. Obviously they don't teach you english in FYROM. LOL

[dimges]

@Hypnotized81 Macedonians spoke their own language, unfortunately lost their letter, they took hellenic letter. Macedonians fought alone and did not participate in the common war against Persia(Troy). Macedonians have introduced gold coins, invented phalanx and cement construction. Hellenas were boat builders, philosophers and artists. Unfortunately, the Macedonians were received from Hellenas homosexuality. In the history we know only the Roman-Macedonian wars.

[Hypnotized81]

@dimges

what's your point?

[Hypnotized81]

@dimges

read more and from more sources. You'll get it in the end

[dimges]

@Hypnotized81 One thing is how you feel, the second is that you are genetically. As Alexander belonged to the Hellenic culture, so they are in Russia, aristocrats supported the French language and culture, all to the war with Napoleon. In 60's begins British invasion, young people around the world listen to Rock and speak English, and even settle in the United Kingdom. But to be a member of the royal armed forces in the United Kingdom, should have two generations of British origin.

[dimges]

@Hypnotized81

fact is that the Macedonians all to 80's were barbarians for greek historians; my father attended a Greek gymnasium shortly before WW2 ; also Slavs and Illyrians took something from Hellenas; I wrote that has some Cyrillic letter are similar with Hellenistic letter; Many think that the Mediterranean was the homeland of all the tribes that later formed the states, except for newcomer of the Turks and Hungarians ; Bulgarians are Slavs, mixed with Asians

[jovoification]

@Hypnotized81 obviousley your a fukwit greece is shit i know history im australian and i see what your doing to the macedonians anyone who knows history will know what im talking about

[Hypnotized81]

@jovoification

You are not australian. You are a slavomacedonian living in Australia (there you go! I just gave you half a macedonian identity, happy now?)

"...anyone who knows history will know what im talking about..." Exactly my point too :)

[jovoification]

@Hypnotized81 i do have macedonian ancestry but from many generations back but im still australian and i know your trying to take the mmacedonian history for yourself they have nothing to do with greeks

[Hypnotized81]

@jovoification

Ok. I will explain once again. When someone speaks greek, worships the greek gods, has greek customs, spreads the greek civilization allover the world then THAT person (Alexander the Great) is.....greek.

If you were indeed australian I trust you would have a good enough education in a public school to know that macedonians were just as greek as spartans, athenians, thebans etc etc

[jovoification]

@Hypnotized81 macedonians wanted to be greek for some reason your ancestry denied it if they were greek macedonia would be under greece today but its not

[Hypnotized81]

@jovoification

That is one of the most stupid assumptions I have ever heard in my life. Instead of trolling on youtube study some history with a bit of an open mind and you just might learn a thing or two. You cannot discuss historical issues when it is obvious that you have no idea about history.

PS If "macedonians wanted to be greek" maybe you should show us some more respect as "macedonians" certainly knew better than you FYROMians.

[jovoification]

[Hypnotized81]

@jovoification

Ha, ha. Run out of arguments troll? Go back to school and we'll talk again on graduation day LOL

[PatrickEngSU]

@Hypnotized81 culturally he sure was greek. He spread greek culture throughout the known world. He was educated by a greek scholar we still study today. He might have been born macedonian, but he lived greek

[Hypnotized81]

@PatrickEngSU

In ancient times greeks consisted of several tribes (Aeolians, Dorians, Macedonians etc). So nationality didn't really exist like we know it today. Besides, there were greeks living in colonies all around the mediterranean and not only in what is today known as Greece. Being greek meant : speaking the greek language, worshiping the greek gods, having greek customs.

[PatrickEngSU]

@Hypnotized81 Cultural groups did exist; who cares if people and territories weren't organized the way they are today? Everyone knows that. Alexander worshipped greek gods; he revered greek myths and literature; he built greek structures and founded greek cities (like alexandria); his macedonian father chose a greek to educate his son. Alexander was greek. If all I have to do is repeat myself; you haven't made an effective argument and I won't respond again until you make a sound argument.

[PatrickEngSU]

@Hypnotized81 As to why I don't take the narrator words for granted: it's because I'm educated and capable of critical thought. Most docs are extremely simple. Furthermore, I've read Aryan and Ptolemy and have my own conclusions and ideas about alexander's life; I believe my sources are more sound than the ideas presented in a 2 hour doc made for tv

[Hypnotized81]

@PatrickEngSU

then we agree

[PatrickEngSU]

@Hypnotized81 hahaha, I love when people try to prove themselves smart by applying definitions without analysis

[Hypnotized81]

Ehm. You could open your ears and listen what the narrator says.

Just an idea

One of the most important opus of Demosthenes is his famous “Philipiki”- speeches against Philip II – the King of Macedonia: Philip is not Helen (Greek), He has nothing Helenian (Greek), He is barbarian who is coming from a land, for which one you can’t say anything nice, He is Macedon…..

[MacedoniaHellen]

@bulgarian351

When you read history,learn that you must explain it too!Demosthenes was trying to destroy Macedonia cuz he wanted the leadership for the Athens!And that's why he said that while he was trying to shoot down Macedonia on the eyes of the rest of Greeks!

Isocrates,To Phillip II:You are the only GREEK who can save Greece frrom the disaster!

Read whole history and after you can write here!

[RaptorMaestro]

@MacedoniaHellen you do mistake we will always be enemy we are so diferent in history we always have a fight everybodu can speak about us Macedonians but we know who we are and we are here lives in the reality we have what we wont freedom and now nobody can take again

[Ikaros1994]

@RaptorMaestro MACEDONIANS = GREEK!

[megaman12521]

@MacedoniaHellen

Even though Macedonians thought they were Greek, the Greeks thought they were barbaric outsiders who were undeveloped and uncivilized. Its usually classified with outsiders however ever since in the battle with Persia, the Macedonians thought they were considered Greek.

[Hypnotized81]

@baronnmkd

So, to prove that macedonians weren't greek you use a video that more times that I can count says that Phillip, Olympia and the Macedonia as a geographical region WERE ALL GREEK?

ha, ha, ha. Nice choice

[goltapanar]

Filip (Aleksandar s father was killed by Greek) Aleksandar was poisoned by a Greek

THE HISTORY REPEAT HER SELF AGAIN AND AGAIN

[Hypnotized81]

@goltapanar

Spartans killed athenians and athenians killed spartans all the time (just to give an example) Does that mean that spartans and athenians weren't both greek?

[MacedoniaHellen]

@goltapanar Phillipos killed by a Greek who was a Macedonian!

Macedonia is Greece!

@TheMakedoner English or German,you always say bullshits!

Macedonia is Greece!

Accept it!

[helios180746]

@goltapanar Don't pseudomacedonians kill pseudomacedonians? Those Greeks you mention, may have been Greeks from Sparta,Athens any of the Greek Kingdoms of the time, or indeed Macedonia!!! And besides no one knows exactly how Megas Alexandros died,how come you do.One of your pseudomacedonian neighbours told you perhaps?

[george22021979]

@MacedonianSlavUnion We will take a shit on your mothers graves you misserable excuse for a nation!!!!

[thanoshellas09]

@MacedonianSlavUnion have you heard about arianos "alexandrou anavasis"? If you read it you will uhderstand that Alexander the Great was Greek. First of all he spoke Greek, believed in ancient Greek gods and studied the books of Omirous "Iliad and Odyssey".... Those ages you Slavs lived on trees and you ate each other.... As we all know from history Slavs arrived at Balkans in 7th A.C. but Greeks living in this area from 30.000 years and keep going...

[grecorebel]

@MacedonianSlavUnion If u would conquer the world like Alexander did,would u spread the the english language,english culture and english religion or your own?Why is nothing left from this Macedonian-non greek culture of the past.A people strong enough to conquer the world.to destroy the mightiest Empire of that time(Persia) and nothing left from its own culture?No evidence of different language,culture or religion than the greek.

[seleukoskallinikos]

macedonia is greek.

[george22021979]

you are bulgarian and slavic scum you filthy son of a beach!!!!at 1.16 it says''we are in NORTHERN GREECE!!!!!stupid fuck i wish our pussy goverment would start a war on you fuckers so we can be finished with the lot of you onxe and for all!!!

ps;tell your mom i said hi...

[funnybussiness]

I have so many points to say that proove that Alexander was Greek but let me tell only one. Only by the fact that Athenian Aristotle was his teacher at times when people knew only one language and especially those times that the only civilized people were the Greeks calling the rest barbarians, prooves that Alexander was Greek speaking. Not even mentioned the beginning of the documentary when it says: we are in north Greece in the area of Pella..

[riuenton]

can anyone see the map?compare it to the modern map and it's clear to see it does not include any slavic nation

[DimitarTheMacedon]

PEOPLE OF THE WOOOOORLD LISTEN MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!­­!!!!

I'M MACEDONIAN BUT I LOVE GREECE TOO BUT THE GREEK ARE REAL THIEFS WE RE NOT SLAVS ACTUALLY ALL SLAVS ARE MACEDONIANS FROM MACEDONIA BECAUSE EVERY CULTURE SLAVIC IS FROM MACEDONIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HaggisMacfee]

@DimitarTheMacedon Actually you are a former Serbo- Bulgarian Slav, that re-named yourselves 'macedonian' 50 years ago. That is why you speak a Slavic language which is a dialect of Bulgarian. You have NO CONNECTION with the ancient Macedonians - the people of Alexander the Great, who were an ancient ethnic GREEK tribe who were GREEK SPEAKING, and whose homeland was the province of Macedonia which was - and still is - a territory of GREECE, and Greece's largest province today.

[achille25]

Skopians, who name themselves macedonians must know that it is the same as calling themselves Greeks. Macedonia is a Greek word, with Dorian roots (Dorians were a pre-hellenic tribe, Spartans were Dorians too). Macedonia is more ancient than the Slavs themselves. None who doesn 't speak Greek can find the etymology of the word Macedonia. I challenge you.

Plato was Australian. Socrates was Hungarian, Solon was Nigerian, Dracon was Cambodian, Aristotle was Japanese and Alexander was a Slav.

[richbullva]

Alexander was not a Greek,he was a Macedon. Modern historians refer to him as Greek to fuel the unified Europe mth

[TheGiorgos07]

All of you read this !! I am Greek so I know that filippos means friend of the horse = someone who likes horses , filos= friend ippos = horse

Also alexandros in ancient Greek means the protecter of the man

Alex= protecter and andros= of the man

Except from swearing me can you answer something and convince us that Macedonians were not Greeks???u think that ancient macedonians are slavs!?

[coerdelion13]

Alexander's father was not Philip..it was Zeus....

[KaIanari]

@coerdelion13 that would have probably turned into mythology sooner or later if that was still around.

[ArsenalFan20007]

@famemonster1993

Alexander the Great is from the Greek province Macedonia.

[dimalex8]

well if alexander isnt hellene then all the ancient historians lied. And if these historians lied about his ethnicity then it is very possible everything they wrote is a lie. And if everything is a lie then there was no alexander in the first place, so you see problem solved.

P.S. "I am myself hellene by ancient descend" Alexander I(grandfather of alexander the great), nuff said, case closed!!
