@Lhein33 thats true,this documentary is very deep and if u make the connection what happened then to whats happening now ud get the question Who Benefits?The westerners are! 6.15=orthodoxy is not based on race when on the other hand catholic along with the other western so called christian system churches are completely opposite,They the ones who destroyed constantinople the symbol of orthodox church,they been trying to destroy the orthodox church just after Jesus Christ died.

@rusbp In what sense? I think e.g. that in the greek language there are only few slavic words and only in the fields of livestock & agriculture

The theory of the so-called slavization of the Greeks began in the West with Falmerayer & Co (19th century). These scholars believed that the ancient Greeks were a "superhuman" race, beautiful, smart & advanced (racism). The Westerners thought that they conserved this greek heritage, while their rivals in the East lost their hellenicity and romanity.

They allowed hate and racism to come in.They forgot that in Christ their is no Jew or Greek,no slave or free.

@gianlucanders

greeks ar 50% slavs.

[gianlucanders]

@GeoBBB123 yep, I agree on that, but not today.

[GeoBBB123]

@gianlucanders Actually Slavs are not Macedonian.... but the Macedonians of old were very certainly Greek.

[gianlucanders]

@GeoBBB123 slavs are not greeks

[GeoBBB123]

@gianlucanders Gian ... I'm afraid you are wrong ... very, very wrong! If one wishes to explore the haunts of the ancient Macedonians one would very definitely visit Greece ... the region that is still called MAKEDONIA. Why on earth would you claim Macedonia is not now Greece? FYROM certainly has a very tenuous hold on that name...

[gianlucanders]

@GeoBBB123 Macedonia today is not greece. It was centuries ago, not now.
